4080 Price: Retail, Deals & Price History

Updated  2 sources

Launch price

$1,199

People who search for "4080 price" are usually weighing two different things: the RTX 4080 as NVIDIA first sold it, and the RTX 4080 Super that took its place. Both are 16GB cards and both turn up in listings under the same short name, which is how a shopper ends up comparing numbers that were never meant to match.

Below is how the launch prices line up, why the 4080 sat where it did in the 40 series, and what to do when you want a number for today.

RTX 4080 launch price and the Super reset

When the 4080 first arrived, the list price was $1,199. That put it well above the cards below it and a clear step under the RTX 4090. Once the Super cards were announced in January 2024, PCPer described the new 4080 Super as lowering the price by a meaningful margin, and the original card was set to fade out.

Reading down the list gives a quick picture of the whole tier structure. The 4080 Super at $999 is the new floor for the 4080 class. The 4070 Ti Super and 4070 Super sit well below it. The 4090 is the only card in this table that costs more.

Where the 4080 fits in the lineup

The 4080 family sits between two buyers. One wants the strongest card NVIDIA sells and accepts the price of a 4090. The other wants a high end card but does not want to pay flagship money. The 4080 and 4080 Super serve the second group.

  • Moving down to the 4070 Ti Super saves a large amount against the 4080 Super's list price, at the cost of a lower tier.
  • Moving up to the 4090 costs considerably more than the 4080 Super, and the gap is larger still against the original 4080's launch price.
  • Staying with the 4080 Super gets you the current version of the class at a launch price below the original.

Those price steps are not a performance ranking. They only show how NVIDIA priced each tier, not how fast each one runs on your games.

Can you still buy a new RTX 4080?

The original card is a discontinued model, so expect leftover stock or used units rather than a regular supply. Both are also an older generation by now. Because supply on older high end cards is thin, prices on any given day can be far from the list prices above. PC Gamer's August 2026 price check found that GeForce cards had risen the most among graphics brands, so a list price is a poor guide to what a seller will ask.

Buying a used RTX 4080: checks that matter

High end cards cost more to get wrong, so spend a few minutes on the listing:

  • Ask for a photo of the card with a handwritten note or the seller's username.
  • Confirm whether it is a 4080 or a 4080 Super. They look similar, and the Super launched at a lower list price, so the label affects what a fair ask looks like.
  • Check the return window and what protection the marketplace gives you.
  • Ask whether any warranty from the brand is transferable.
  • Look for signs of heavy use such as dust in the fan frame or discolored bracket screws.
