For gamers chasing optimal performance at the highest resolutions, the Geforce RTX 4080 SUPER is only slightly inferior to the RTX 4090. Beyond gaming and streaming, this GPU excels in creative and high-performance applications, for example, 3D applications like Blender run up to 70% faster than the previous generation.

In new AI generation applications, the GeForce RTX 40 SUPER GPU significantly outperforms the RTX 3080 Ti. For example, when using the RTX 4080 SUPER to run Stable Diffusion XL, rendering 1024x1024 images is 1.7 times faster, and video rendering is 1.5 times faster.

RTX Video HDR delivers a groundbreaking visual experience.

Alongside the launch of the new graphics card, NVIDIA also introduced an updated feature: RTX Video HDR. With this feature, users can convert SDR video to HDR for a more vibrant and detailed viewing experience. This experience is further enhanced when users own an HDR monitor and a GeForce RTX graphics card.

 

Currently, this update is ready, and users just need to download the latest Game Ready or Studio Ready driver, then enable Windows HDR and configure it in the NVIDIA Control Panel.
