Spec-by-spec comparison

	NVIDIA RTX 4080 Super	NVIDIA RTX 5070 Ti
Architecture	Ada Lovelace AD103	Blackwell GB205
CUDA Cores	10,240	8,960

NVIDIA RTX 4080 Super

What works

Available on clearance at $699–749 — potentially under 5070 Ti MSRP
Mature driver ecosystem with no launch-day surprises
16 GB GDDR6X — same VRAM capacity as 5070 Ti

What doesn't

No DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation — maxes at DLSS 3 FG
Ada Lovelace architecture aging out of NVIDIA's optimization focus
320W TDP slightly higher than 5070 Ti

NVIDIA RTX 5070 Ti

What works

8–12% faster at 4K native over 4080 Super
DLSS 4 MFG — exclusive Blackwell feature not available on Ada
GDDR7 bandwidth advantage in memory-bound workloads

What doesn't

$749 MSRP — may not undercut 4080 Super clearance deals
Newer product with smaller initial driver optimization history
16 GB GDDR7 doesn't expand VRAM over 4080 Super's 16 GB

Bottom line

Our pick: NVIDIA RTX 5070 Ti. It edges out the alternative on 8–12% faster at 4k native over 4080 super. That said, NVIDIA RTX 4080 Super still wins on available on clearance at $699–749 — potentially under 5070 ti msrp — consider it if that single trade matters most for your use.
