Our Verdict: With some tuning, the RTX 4080 Max-Q makes the most sense for gamers with 4K monitors and it is better than RTX 3070 Mobile by a margin. Though serious gamers hardly play at 4k. For everyone else, especially those on 1080p or even 1440p monitors, the RTX 3070 Mobile could be the better value choice in the short term. The RTX 4080 Max-Q is faster by 82% for 1440p gaming. However, RTX 3070 Mobile is still capable of producing more than 60 frames per second. For 1080p games, upgrading from RTX 3070 Mobile to RTX 4080 Max-Q is not worth it if targeting 60 frames per second. The price/performance ratio is much better for RTX 4080 Max-Q .

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Max-Q / Core i9-10900K

In terms of cost, pricing clearly is a genuine issue here and the price of RTX 4080 Max-Q is simply ridiculous. For those on 1080p or even 1440p monitors, the RTX 4080 Max-Q is very expensive and there are better value choices in the short term. In terms of memory, the RTX 4080 Max-Q 's 12288 MB RAM is more than enough for modern games and should not cause any bottlenecks. 4K gaming is joyous on this RTX 4080 Max-Q , and with a little tweaking to your AA settings, it'd be hard to imagine a title not capable of 60 fps on average.
