Fast forward to January 2024, and NVIDIA has rolled out the Super variants of selected GPUs. Like the RTX 4070 Super reviewed last issue, the RTX 4080 Super effectively replaces the vanilla RTX 4080. But, the RTX 4080 Super is the only Super card that has deviated from its original launch price of US$1,199 selling at a more palatable US$999.
The steep pricing of the original RTX 4080 made it hard for us to recommend it at launch, but this new Super’s price tag goes a long way in correcting our opinion.
Just like the RTX 4070 Super Founders Edition, NVIDIA has also given the darker alloy treatment to the RTX 4080 Super Founders Edition – and it’s remarkably beautiful. It maintains the same physical dimensions of the RTX 4080 (and also the RTX 4090), which means it’s not going to fit all casings.
Other aspects of the RTX 4080 Super Founders Edition remain unchanged from its vanilla predecessor. It has three DisplayPort 1.4 ports, one HDMI 2.1 port, and single 12-pin PCIe 5 connector.
