Introduction
Logically speaking, the specifications and performance of the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER and the GeForce RTX 5080 should be very close, and the latter might even be a slightly upgraded rebranded version of the former—a tactic that is quite common.
So, is this really the case? This article will compare the 4K gaming performance of the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER and the GeForce RTX 5080. If their performance difference is minimal and very close, then the previous assumption may hold true. Otherwise, it does not. This article will reveal the answer.
