RTX 4080 Super Specs and Upgrades
Here is a quick overview of what all has been improved from the original RTX 4080:
- Nvidia CUDA Cores: Increased to 10240 from 9728.
- Boost Clock Speed: Increased to 2.55 GHz from 2.51 GHz.
- Base Clock Speed: Increased to 2.29 GHz from 2.21 GHz.
- Tensor Cores: Increased to 320 from 304.
- Ray Tracing Cores: Increased to 121 TFLOPS from 113 TFLOPS.
- Price: Dropped to $999 from $1199.
Aside from the above changes you will find that both 4080 Super and 4080 have pretty much the same specs. We will check a list of all its specs along with the specs of other cards by Nvidia that can be considered its competition in a bit, but for now, here is how the new design looks like.
Design and Looks
Speaking of the card’s design and looks Nvidia has decided to spice things up this time around. They went ahead with a pure Black matte design which can be annoyingly a finger-print magnet. Luckily, you won’t have to bother about it much as it can be cleaned quite easily. You can see a minimal GeForce RTX on its side.
Its dimensions are as follows:
- Length: 304 mm
- Width: 137 mm
- Height: 61 mm
- Slots: 3-Slot
Now, this card might feel quite large, which in many ways it is. But it is there up in the leagues with the RTX 4090 and RTX 4080. Also keep in mind its TGP is 320 W, so it is reasonable to expect the card to heat up easily. However, the card’s big design works in its favor and it stays quite cool while also being quiet.
On its back you can find the following Display Output Slots:
- HDMI 2.1: x1
- DisplayPort 1.4a: x3
As for its power connector requirements, you have the options of 3x PCIe 8-pin cables (adapter is included in the box) or 1x 450 W or greater PCIe Gen 5 cable.
