This RTX 4080 Super is cheap enough at $950 to make it exceedingly tempting
PNY RTX 4080 Super | 16 GB GDDR6 | 10,240 CUDA Cores | 2,565 MHz boost | $979.99$949.99 at Newegg (save $30 with code VGAEXCAB364)
While Nvidia's replacement for the RTX 4080 is only a little bit faster, the MSRP of the RTX 4080 Super is a fair bit lower at $999. We've found just one card at that sorta price today, however. That's this PNY, which should be a pretty cool and quiet card.

If you've been tempted by the RTX 4080 Super but don't like paying over MSRP for things, you've been screwed for months. This card rarely ever drops to below its $999 MSRP—with one major exception. This PNY Verto RTX 4080 Super is a saving grace, quite literally, with $30 off over at Newegg.

Each 4080 Super comes with 10,240 CUDA cores across 80 SMs. That makes for 80 RT cores, one for each SM, and 320 Tensor cores. The good news for gamers is that this card doesn't skimp on memory: it comes with 16 GB of GDDR6X, which is the faster memory standard of the day, found otherwise on the RTX 4090.
The RTX 4090 is the elephant in the room. While extremely expensive, you get a lot of GPU for the money. The best deal I can find on a 4090 today is this PNY model over at Amazon for $1,729.
That's closing in on double the cash, however, and it's not quite double the graphics card the RTX 4080 Super in most ways. Still, there's
