Released Jan 24, 2024, the RTX 4070 Ti Super has been on the market for 2 years 9 months. It has been superseded by the NVIDIA RTX 5070 Ti, which launched Feb 20, 2025, so it's no longer a current-generation buy — new stock is clearance, and the rest of the market is second-hand.
Released Jan 31, 2024, the RTX 4080 Super has been on the market for 2 years 9 months. It has been superseded by the NVIDIA RTX 5080, which launched Jan 30, 2025, so it's no longer a current-generation buy — new stock is clearance, and the rest of the market is second-hand.
Both cards are superseded. If you're buying new, their replacements — the NVIDIA RTX 5070 Ti and NVIDIA RTX 5080 — are where current pricing and timing advice apply.
At launch MSRP the RTX 4070 Ti Super is $200 cheaper than the RTX 4080 Super ($799 vs $999, 20% less). Per gigabyte of VRAM that's $49.9 for the RTX 4070 Ti Super and $62.4 for the RTX 4080 Super — the RTX 4070 Ti Super gives more memory for the money. Launch MSRP is only a reference point for a superseded card; its real price is whatever clearance or used stock sells for today.
RTX 4070 Ti Super (deals window to Jun 30, 2027, rated Wait): No clearance — new retail prices start around $1,080, at least 35% above the $799 MSRP, due to scarcity. Avoid new purchases. Used units have risen to around $750–$850 as of October 2026; only consider one below $600.
RTX 4080 Super (deals window to Jun 30, 2027, rated Wait): No clearance — new retail prices are ~40–60% above $999 MSRP due to production ending and scarcity, and used units start around $1,100 as of October 2026. Only consider a used unit well below MSRP.
Our pick: NVIDIA RTX 4070 Ti Super
Is the RTX 4080 Super worth $200 more? That's 25% on top of the RTX 4070 Ti Super's launch MSRP, and it buys you the Enthusiast tier; beyond the tier, none of the specs we track moves in its favour. The cost side: 35W more rated TDP to cool and power.
Scores and timing are level, so the cheaper RTX 4070 Ti Super gets the nod as the value choice.
