The Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 Super serves as the cherry on top of the GPU giant’s Lovelace redemption arc. Rather than just handing you a garage station buquet, this revamped graphics card is outside your window with a guitar, serenading you about how it now costs under $1,000. Personally, that’s enough for me to open the door and invite it, but the fact it’s also wearing higher specs grants the green team’s 80-series further forgiveness.
That cheesy metaphorical intro sounds like I’ve got major beef with the original RTX 4080, but I’ve always considered it one of the best graphics cards around. My real gripe with the initial card was with its price, as it placed Nvidia's high end performance out of reach for many players. Plus, those enthusiasts that were looking to spend over a grand would likely find themselves eyeing up the superior Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 instead, especially since the performance jump is massive.
