NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER GPU Benchmarks Leak Show Similar Performance As 4080 Non-SUPER
The first benchmarks of NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER GPU have been leaked and they show similar performance as the 4080 Non-SUPER.
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER & RTX 4080 GPUs Perform The Same In Leaked Benchmarks
While the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER & RTX 4070 Ti SUPER have delivered gains of 15% and 10%, respectively, the GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER GPU may feature very similar performance as the already existing GeForce RTX 4080 Non-SUPER as seen in leaked benchmarks within Geekbench 5.

The leaked benchmarks were spotted by BenchLeaks within the Geekbench 5 database. The GB5 benchmark is based on synthetic tests and is quite old as it's been replaced by the newer GB6 test suite and shouldn't be representative of real-world gaming performance. However, the graphics performance of previous cards in the same benchmark was very close to the gaming performance.
Starting with the scores, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER scored 309,554 points in the CUDA test, 264,806 points in the OpenCL test, and 100,378 points in the Vulkan test. The Vulkan test can be discarded since it is very low and we also saw a similar case with the 4070 Ti SUPER's leaked test scores. Meanwhile, the other two scores, CUDA and OpenCL, seem to represent the actual graphics horsepower of this card and shows it on par with the RTX 4080 Non-SUPER.
Although the RTX 4080 SUPER has slightly more cores, even NVIDIA said that it would be 3% faster than the RTX 4080 Non-SUPER, and that too only at higher 4K resolutions while the differences will be minimal at sub-4K resolutions. The card does get a price drop to $999 US which makes it highly competitive against the RX 7900 XTX but besides that, most gamers shouldn't expect much from the final SUPER variant.
