Architectural Differences
- Clock Speed: The RTX 4080 Super clocks faster at both base and boost clock, operating at 2295 MHz and up to 2550 MHz. In comparison to that, the RX 7900 XTX has a base clock of 1295 MHz that goes up to the boost clock of 2124 MHz.
- VRAM: The RX 7900 XTX comes with a 24 GB VRAM. Compared to that, the RTX 4080 Super comes with 16 GB of VRAM, which is shameful for a $999 GPU. But, it is the faster GDDR6X VRAM, compared to RX 7900 XTX’s GDDR6 VRAM.
- TDP: This point goes to Nvidia, as the RTX 4080 Super comes with a smaller TDP of 320 watts. The AMD counterpart, RX 7900 XTX comes with a TDP of 355 watts, which is to be expected from a top-of-the-line GPU.
- Process Node: The process node is a specification that our two rival graphics cards appear to have in common. Both AMD and Nvidia seemed to have turned to TSMC for their 5 nm process node for this one.
- Other Technologies: Both GPUs provide their own versions of AI upscaling methods, such as AMD’s FSR and Nvidia’s Frame generation and DLSS 3. However, you can get the best of both worlds with the RTX 4080 Super.
Nvidia just dropped a new $1000 GPU in the market, the RTX 4080 Super. But how does that stack up against AMD’s latest and greatest, the RX 7900 XTX which is being sold at a similar price point? Keep reading to find out as we compare the newly dropped RTX 4080 Super vs RX 7900 XTX and analyse their performance difference in games.
