With 9,728 CUDA Cores and a base clock speed of 2.21GHz, the 16GB RTX 4080 has a much higher performance, boosting up to 2.51GHz with 780 Tensor TFLOPs. 113 RT TFLOPs and 49 Shader TFLOPs.

Now the attention will turn to pricing, particularly as AMD’s next-gen RX 7900 XTX and XT GPUs start at $899 and will Launched December 13th.
