RTX 5070 Ti vs RTX 4080 Super: Gaming Performance & Bottleneck (2026)

The RTX 4080 Super edges out the RTX 5070 Ti by 4% at 4K and 4% at 1440p, where it averages 128 FPS to 123 in AAA games at High settings with a Ryzen 7 9800X3D. Newer isn't faster here: the RTX 4080 Super came out 1 year before the RTX 5070 Ti and still leads in raster performance. The order holds at 1080p (3% apart), so the RTX 4080 Super is the quicker card at every resolution. With ray tracing on at 1440p they manage 72 and 75 FPS respectively. In esports games like CS2 or Valorant at 1080p they reach 494 and 500 FPS, so either can feed a 360 Hz monitor. At 4K High the RTX 5070 Ti averages 75 FPS and the RTX 4080 Super 78, both playable without upscaling. Both carry 16 GB of VRAM, enough for 4K High. To stay under a 10% CPU bottleneck at 1440p, both need a Core i5-12400F or faster.

Which should you buy?

Buy the RTX 4080 Super if you want the faster card: it's 4% ahead at 4K. The RTX 5070 Ti is the better buy only if it costs at least 4% less, the gap at 1440p, because then it delivers more frames per dollar. Already own the RTX 5070 Ti? The RTX 4080 Super is only 4% faster at 1440p and is older hardware, so switching is rarely worth it.

Buy the RTX 5070 Ti if…

  • you want the newer card (2025) with the longer driver and feature support ahead of it.
  • it costs at least 4% less than the RTX 4080 Super, which makes it the better value per frame.

Buy the RTX 4080 Super if…

  • you want the most FPS: it's 4% faster at 4K and 4% at 1440p.
  • you play with ray tracing: 75 vs 72 FPS at 1440p.

RTX 5070 Ti vs RTX 4080 Super: quick answers

Is the RTX 5070 Ti faster than the RTX 4080 Super?

No. The RTX 4080 Super is about 4% faster at 4K and 4% faster at 1440p in AAA games at High settings. With ray tracing on at 1440p the RTX 5070 Ti gets about 72 FPS and the RTX 4080 Super 75 FPS.

How many FPS do the RTX 5070 Ti and RTX 4080 Super get?

With a Ryzen 7 9800X3D at High settings in AAA games, the RTX 5070 Ti averages about 170 FPS at 1080p, 123 at 1440p and 75 at 4K. The RTX 4080 Super averages 175, 128 and 78 FPS. DLSS, FSR or XeSS upscaling adds roughly 40% where the graphics card is the limit.

What CPU do I need for the RTX 5070 Ti or RTX 4080 Super?

To keep the CPU bottleneck under 10% at 1440p, the RTX 5070 Ti needs at least a Core i5-12400F and the RTX 4080 Super needs at least a Core i5-12400F. At 1080p you need a faster CPU for the same result, and at 4K a slower one is fine. A slower CPU narrows the gap between the RTX 4080 Super and the RTX 5070 Ti.
