THIS ISSUE, we wrap up the RTX 40-series Super voyage we’ve been on for the last few months, as we’ve now built machines featuring the enhanced versions of the RTX 4070, 4070 Ti, and now 4080 cards. Each card has something interesting, whether it’s a price cut or a performance boost, but the 4080 Super is the least easy to pigeonhole in terms of appeal. On paper, it should be an easy recommendation— the Super has all the power of the standard 4080, but with a $200 price cut, making it the $999 card it should have been from the start. In reality, it’s difficult to find it in stock, and those who have it are charging $1,300. Meanwhile, the original 4080 is equally hard to find.
