The two GPUs in context

RTX 3080 10GB

This RTX 3080 is the original Ampere configuration with 10GB of GDDR6X, launched in September 2020, rather than the later 12GB model.

RTX 4080 Super 16GB

The RTX 4080 Super is a 16GB GDDR6X Ada Lovelace model introduced in January 2024, following the original RTX 4080.

How the figures are compared

Both FPS figures come from the owner-supplied GPUsed benchmark dataset. GPUsed reports a continuous FurMark run at 1080p for its physical-card checks. The percentage compares the higher model average with the lower one using the original FPS values. Our rating uses a compressed scale, with the fastest GPU at 100; it is separate from the percentage difference. A benchmark result does not predict gaming FPS.

GPUsed reports its physical-card checks typically last 30 to 60 minutes while temperature and stability are checked. The owner supplied the model-level FPS workbook on 2 October 2026; this benchmark dataset was last reconciled 3 October 2026. Historical cards tested are separate from the number of FPS runs behind a model average. Full benchmark method.
