What does a $1,000 GPU ACTUALLY Get You? - RTX 4080 Super Review

The RTX 4080 Super is essentially a price cut of $200 on the original $1,200 RTX 4080 because the performance is very similar. But does that make it good?

Is buying a $1,000 GPU EVER worth it? In this we go over the TANGIBLE benefits that a high-end GPU actually offers you to see if this is something worth buying. Does it allow you to play comfortably at 4k? With Ray Tracing on? Edit and render videos faster? Render 3D models faster? What does this thing actually do. I pitted it up against a $500 RX 7800 XT, $600 RTX 4070 Super, $720 RX 7900 XT, and $800 RTX 4070 Ti Super. Let's see!

40 Super series are what the regular 40 series should have been to be considered a decent generation. at least Nvidia kinda learned

RTX 4080: SUPER bad price

RTX 4080 SUPER: bad price

[neonomad]

The only reasnable move is gving up 4k gaming and enjoy1440p with 500$ 7800xt

[williamheath]

I got a 4080 super, with how inflation is going, that 1000 dollar card will be 2k by the 6000 series.

[chrisvig]

Bottom line is if they continue on with these high prices is that sales will continue to be sluggish ….not many gamers can afford these cards especially with these economies that we’re currently in

[siyzerix]

2.2kg is now almost the same weight as some 16' to 17' gaming laptops. Man, that is just insane.

[katherynet]

cost of the 4080 super in the UK is actually 1200 - 1300 pounds. Not a £1000.

[SigmaHuman]

The 2080 super was able to do 4k/60 for the AAA games back in 2019 for $700

[DoctorShroom]

You know the funny thing?
It's already the price of a 4080.

[sergiopablo]

For quite a long time, the enthusiast-level GPUs were $600. Spending $1000 on a GPU sounds like insanity to me. The difference between the 4080 Super and the 7800 XT was around 20 fps at 1440p. You could save $500 by lowering a couple of graphical settings that are going to be barely noticeable anyway.

[blackstar-genX]

I don't think I'll ever pay 1k for a PC part. It's just too much.

[JaceFalcon]

Tragedy is those who got a 3080ti and it can barely ray trace cyberpunk already.

[PineyJustice]

Blender benchmark is not a modeling benchmark. It's a ray rendering benchmark and has nothing to do with modeling.

[Romeof]

I had to decide between the two...

AMD RX 7900XTX or RTX 4080 Super

I immediately made up my mind and purchased the RTX 4080 Super. When I saw the card and compared the size of it with my brothers card (RTX 4070), his GPU looked so small compared to the RRX 4080 Super that I purchased. Plus, the performance is so noticeable, it's huge. I am so happy that I didn't went with AMD really eventhough their VRAM on their RX 7900XTX is 24GB.

Nvidia still have a lot of features that I can and will use that AMD doesn't have. I don't regret my decision that I have the RTX 4080S now. Brother also want to upgrade to the RTX 4080S now lol 😂😂😂Lots of games that he couldn't reallt maxed out that I could without even flinching lol 😂😂😂

Great video bro. This RTX 4080S is a huge card and a beast. Yeah, yeah, price is still high but it is what it is.

Nvidia = Gamers/Content Creators with affordability
AMD = Gamers on a Budget that wants more FPS and price/performance.

But let me tell you, in the years to come, the markets will get worse lol 😂😂😂That being said, that the RTX 50 Series and AMD RX 8000 Series will be more expensive than these cards that's currently on the market. Only those with affordability will be able to purchase the latest GPUs in the years to come.

So, if you have a GPU, appreciate what you have 😂Don't break your head to upgrade unless you really need to

[ValiantInstance]

I spent around 800 on my 7900XT. Still overpriced but I wouldn't go any higher than that. I can play pretty much any game at native 4K without an issue, and frame gen means I max out my LG C2's refresh rate. So overall I'm happy with it.

[vensroofcat]

Quality of your streams has been steadily increasing. Good reporting. No fanboying or overused hype, no massive redistributed "leaks" or other nonsense.
The sample card is well earned. Integrity is a good starting point.

[Official_ADub]

I have a 4090 and I don’t regret it, I just think the 4080 will age faster than the 4090 in the next couple of years

[boatridecharm]

Realistically, the 4070 Ti Super should be $700 and the 4080 Super should be $800-850. If only that were reality.

[MarkColemanRules]

Wow.. NVidia have been handing out these cards like candy... it would have been better if they put the card at a more realistic price. I could afford it (just) but I just can't justify spending that much. A lovely card marred by unrealistic pricing.

[jonathan]

No, it's never worth it. It's just greed.
