02 · Decision matrix
One decision, three separate questions
Capability ignores price. Relative Value adds the current dataset offers and your priorities. Keeping them separate prevents a cheap product from being mistaken for the faster product.

RTX 4080 Super grades higher in 2 of 6 graded scenarios (4 tied) and is never graded lower. 1 scenario can't be graded for one of them (shown as N/A). These are the same S–F grades as the tier list — capability only, price excluded. The value rows below add prices from the 2026-09-27 offer frame. How tiers are assigned →

3-year electricity model
Over 3 years at 4h/day and CAD 0.18/kWh, RTX 4080 Super (320 W) adds about CAD 126 in modeled electricity and RX 9070 XT (304 W) about CAD 120. The modeled difference is roughly CAD 6. This uses rated power as a common comparison input, not a promise of wall-power consumption.

08 · Customize
Try other models and your own priorities
Presets are starting points. Swap either side, then open Advanced weights only if you want to tune the formula directly.
09 · Alternative
A third option worth checking
The same scenario and market frame checks whether another currently priced model offers a cleaner trade-off.
No cleaner third option in this dataset
The scenario-aware check did not find a currently priced alternative that improves this decision without changing the trade-off. This is a dataset result, not a claim that no other product exists.
10 · Decision guide
Choose based on the trade-off you actually want
These are evidence-linked conditions, not universal buying verdicts. Feature ecosystems, software support and platform preferences remain your call.
Choose A · RTX 4080 Super if…
- You prioritize AI / Local LLM, 3D Rendering — it earns the higher capability tier in those tracked scenarios.
- Your priorities resemble AI / LLM — it has higher Relative Value under those presets at the snapshot offers.
- You can find it at or below its Strong Value threshold of CAD 1390 under balanced weights.
Choose B · RX 9070 XT if…
- Your priorities resemble Balanced, 1080p Budget, 1440p Sweet Spot — it has higher Relative Value under those presets at the snapshot offers.
- Lower rated power matters: 304 W versus 320 W for RTX 4080 Super.
- You can find it at or below its Strong Value threshold of CAD 1375 under balanced weights.
11 · Methodology & FAQ
Read the methodology →How to read this comparison
The formula is a linear weighted sum inside the current comparison frame. Capability, price and user priorities stay visible as separate inputs so the result can be challenged and changed.
- Which is better value right now: RTX 4080 Super or RX 9070 XT?
- Under the balanced preset and the 2026-09-27 offer frame, RX 9070 XT has higher Relative Value under this configuration (100 vs 72). Value is price-dependent and moves with your weighting; capability is a separate question, answered by the tier table.
- Which one is more capable, ignoring price?
- RTX 4080 Super grades higher in 2 of 6 graded scenarios (4 tied) and is never graded lower. 1 scenario can't be graded for one of them (shown as N/A).
- At what price does the RTX 4080 Super become the better value?
- Holding the RX 9070 XT offer dated in the 2026-09-27 frame fixed, the calculation flips in favour of the RTX 4080 Super at roughly CAD 1010 or below (balanced preset). Not a price forecast.
- Where can I compare current offers for both?
- Dated offer snapshots for both models are listed on their product pages (linked above); the interactive calculator recalculates both with your own weights and budget.
