See where each GPU makes more sense in practice: raw FPS, VRAM, features, power draw, pricing, and long-term headroom.

GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER

2024

Why buy it

  • Costs $7,566 less on MSRP ($999 MSRP vs $8,565 MSRP).
  • Delivers 583.8% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 34.2 vs 5.0 G3D/$ ($999 MSRP vs $8,565 MSRP).
  • Access to a newer frame-generation stack with DLSS 3.5 + Frame Generation (2023).
  • Draws 320W instead of 600W, a 280W reduction.

Trade-offs

  • Lower average FPS than RTX PRO 6000 across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • Less VRAM, with 16 GB vs 48 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
  • Fewer Tensor Cores for AI-powered features like DLSS and frame generation (320 vs 752), which can reduce FPS gains in supported games.

Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?
RTX PRO 6000 is the faster gaming card right now. In our data, it leads by 7.5% in average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data and by 25.4% in PassMark G3D (42,899 vs 34,215), so the answer here is pretty clean.
Which GPU is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond?
GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond. The case is simple: the newer feature stack, with DLSS 3.5 Super Resolution (2023) and DLSS 3.5 + Frame Generation (2023), while RTX PRO 6000 is limited to no meaningful modern upscaling stack and no comparable frame-generation support. That still leaves it as the safer long-term option on hardware alone.
Which GPU is the better buy today?
GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER makes the most sense to buy today. It is $7,566 cheaper on MSRP at $999 vs $8,565, and it leads G3D-per-dollar by 583.8% (34.2 vs 5.0), which is enough to swing the recommendation its way. RTX PRO 6000 still makes more sense if max raw gaming performance matters more than value.
