GeForce RTX 4080 Super
Model frame rate limits of 168, 136 and 88 FPS at 1080p, 1440p and 4K, assuming the processor never gets in the way.
The GeForce RTX 4080 Super is one of the fastest graphics card in our database and a genuine 4K card that also has headroom for very high refresh rates at 1440p.
Its 16GB of memory leaves room for high textures at any resolution for years.
Its closest AMD rival is the Radeon RX 9070 XT, which is 9% slower at 1440p.
Estimated FPS in Popular Games
| Game (settings) | 1080p | 1440p | 4K |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cyberpunk 2077 (High, no ray tracing) | ~135 | ~110 | ~70 |
| Fortnite (High, DirectX 12) | ~220 | ~175 | ~115 |
| Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 (High) | ~195 | ~155 | ~100 |
| Counter-Strike 2 (High) | ~405 | ~325 | ~210 |
Modelled estimates with a processor fast enough not to hold the card back, rounded to the nearest 5 FPS. Counter-Strike 2 is usually limited by the processor well before these figures. See the methodology for how they are produced.
The slowest CPU that will not hold it back
| Resolution | Minimum processor | Estimated FPS |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Core Ultra 5 245K | 160 |
| 1440p | Ryzen 7 5800X | 131 |
| 4K | Ryzen 5 4500 | 86 |
Notice how the requirement drops as resolution rises. At 4K this card is working so much harder per frame that a far slower processor keeps up without trouble. The search starts at four cores and eight threads: below that a game stutters whatever the average frame rate says.
The processors it lands closest to
The 24 processors whose frame rate limit sits nearest this card's, fastest first. The tag after each number says which part hits its limit first. For any other combination, use the calculator.

Common Questions
What CPU do I need for the GeForce RTX 4080 Super?
At 1440p, the Ryzen 7 5800X is the slowest processor that keeps the GeForce RTX 4080 Super fully fed. At 1080p the card can run faster, so you need more: the Core Ultra 5 245K or better.
Is the GeForce RTX 4080 Super good for 1440p?
Yes. It averages around 136 FPS at 1440p on high settings in our model, enough for a high-refresh monitor in most games.
Is 16GB of VRAM enough on the GeForce RTX 4080 Super?
Yes. 16GB covers high textures at 4K in current games and leaves headroom for the next few years.
Is the GeForce RTX 4080 Super faster than the Radeon RX 9070 XT?
Yes. The GeForce RTX 4080 Super is about 9% faster at 1440p in our model (136 vs 125 FPS).
