Our Verdict: With some tuning, the RTX 4080 makes the most sense for gamers with 4K monitors and it is better than RTX 4070 by a margin. Though serious gamers hardly play at 4k. For everyone else, especially those on 1080p or even 1440p monitors, the RTX 4070 could be the better value choice in the short term. The RTX 4080 is faster by 36% for 1440p gaming. However, RTX 4070 is still capable of producing more than 60 frames per second. For 1080p games, upgrading from RTX 4070 to RTX 4080 is not worth it if targeting 60 frames per second. The price/performance ratio is much better for RTX 4070 .

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080

Spec for spec, this RTX 4080 leapfrogs its direct predecessor, the RTX 3080, by boasting 32.8 % more fps. The RTX 4080 has 16 GB RAM compared to the RTX 3080 's 10 GB video memory.

In our synthetic benchmarks, the RTX 4080 blows past the RTX 3080, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti and, amazingly, even the RTX 3090 as well. Fortunately, gaming performance was quite impressive. The RTX 4080 consistently delivers great frame rate increases over the RTX 3080, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti and it really justifies an upgrade.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070

The RTX 4080 might be the high-end flagship of the latest Ada Lovelace set of graphics cards, but their prices keep them out of the reach of most mid-range PC gamers. On the other hand, the RTX 4070 is closer to being reasonably affordable at a price tag of $ 599. Spec for spec, this RTX 4070 leapfrogs its direct predecessor, the RTX 3070, by boasting 30.5 % more fps.

The RTX 4070 has 12 GB RAM compared to the RTX 3070 's 8 GB video memory. In our synthetic benchmarks, the RTX 4070 blows past the RTX 3070, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti and, amazingly, even the RTX 3080 as well.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 / Ryzen 9 5950X

In terms of cost, pricing clearly is a genuine issue here and the price of RTX 4080 is simply ridiculous. For those on 1080p or even 1440p monitors, the RTX 4080 is very expensive and there are better value choices in the short term. It is worth noting that the RTX 4080 is a very power hungry card and requires a decent power supply unit. In terms of memory, the RTX 4080 's 16384 MB RAM is more than enough for modern games and should not cause any bottlenecks. 4K gaming is joyous on this RTX 4080 , and with a little tweaking to your AA settings, it'd be hard to imagine a title not capable of 60 fps on average.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 / Ryzen 9 5950X

It is worth noting that the RTX 4070 is a very power hungry card and requires a decent power supply unit. In terms of memory, the RTX 4070 's 12288 MB RAM is more than enough for modern games and should not cause any bottlenecks. 4K gaming is joyous on this RTX 4070 , and with a little tweaking to your AA settings, it'd be hard to imagine a title not capable of 60 fps on average.
