More Price Cut Than Upgrade: Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 Super Review - Is The Price Finally Right?
2,599The end of the Super refresh is upon us with the arrival of the RTX 4080 Super. Minor spec bumps and a new paint job - along with minuscule performance differences - are all that separate Super and non-Super. So it's all about value. Is a $200 price-cut good enough? And is there a threshold point for ultra high-end 4K gaming - and if so, do the RTX 4080 and 4080 Super meet it?
NOTE: At the 19:15 point, the caption says FSR/DLSS performance, but the metrics are indeed from quality mode as the VO says.
