Grab this mighty fast RTX 4080 Super and save more than $140 off the MSRP

MSI RTX 4080 Super | 16 GB GDDR6 | 10,240 CUDA Cores | 2,595 MHz boost | $1,029.99$855.99 at Walmart (save $174)
With an MSRP of $999, the RTX 4080 Super is a better deal than the original RTX 4080. It's still a lot of money, though, but a deal like this one makes it a very tempting purchase.

When Nvidia launched the GeForce RTX 4080 Super earlier this year, we were pleased to see that its MSRP was lower than the original RTX 4080's—$999 instead of  $1,199 was a much nicer deal. But given that it was only a fraction quicker, the RTX 4080 Super still felt like it wasn't great value for money.

But this MSI deal goes a long way to counter that and has more than $140 shaved off the Super's suggested retail price.

So what exactly are you getting for your $856? As with all of the current Nvidia RTX 40-series, it's powered by the Ada Lovelace architecture, which is well regarded for being light on power consumption but heavy on the gaming chops. The RTX 4080 Super sports 10,240 CUDA cores (you can just call them shaders, if you like) and this MSI model's boost clock of 2,595 MHz means it has a peak FP32 throughput of 53.1 TFLOPS.

If you're not sure if that's a lot, only the Radeon RX 7900 XTX and RTX 4090 are higher (61.4 and 82.6 TFLOPS, respectively).

The RX 7900 XTX is a good GPU to compare the RTX 4080 Super against because this MSI model is cheaper than AMD's best GPU by a little over $50. While the Radeon card has more VRAM (24 vs 16 GB) and is a bit faster in games using standard rasterization, the RTX 4080 Super is considerably quicker when ray tracing is being used.

And then you've got the full DLSS 3.5 feature set of the RTX card. Both GPUs support upscaling and frame interpolation for boosting performance, but Nvidia's AI-powered systems are generally better especially its frame generation system. In terms of performance, there's not much to separate them, but DLSS arguably produces
