The GeForce RTX 4080 is out now from NVIDIA and top add-in card providers ASUS, Colorful, Gainward, GALAX, GIGABYTE, INNO3D, KFA2, MSI, Palit, PNY and ZOTAC, as well as from gaming system integrators and builders worldwide.
Boasting our 3rd generation RTX architecture, the GeForce RTX 4080 is beyond fast, delivering exceptional experiences in rasterized, ray-traced and AI-powered games and apps.
With its many technological enhancements, the GeForce RTX 4080 is twice as fast as the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti, and even faster still in fully ray-traced games.
The GeForce RTX 4080 has a TGP of 320W, but under most operating conditions, including many gaming workloads, it consumes significantly less power than the TGP. For average gaming (across 22 games at 1080p, 1440p, and 4K), the GeForce RTX 4080 uses only 251W on average, and on other day-to-day tasks like video playback, it uses as little as 14W. Learn more about the RTX 4080’s power consumption in our other article here.
The GeForce RTX 4080 includes all the same advancements, enhancements, and innovations as the GeForce RTX 4090, meaning you can multiply frame rates with NVIDIA DLSS 3, encode video up to 2X faster with dual 8th gen NVIDIA Encoders, stream with 40% better efficiency using AV1, and chew through creative workloads in half the time, helping you get more done, faster.
Get the complete lowdown on the capabilities of new GeForce RTX 40 Series graphics cards in our deep dive article. And don’t forget, every existing GeForce innovation and enhancement is available for buyers of GeForce RTX 40 Series graphics cards, including G-SYNC, GeForce Experience one-click overclocking and game optimization, Shadowplay recording and streaming, and so much more. See the full list here.
