What do you currently have and what variable rate refresh technology does your monitor support? Freesync or Gysnc?
I know where my money goes on the Nvidia card but that's my personal preference.

Better RT/ing DLSS uses less power but the cards are generally bigger/longer-go NV
Better Raster/longevity with Vram and a smaller footprint-go AMD.
79GRE undervolt/oc'ed is about half the price (£510ish)for not that much slower than a 79XT 70TI S though.

If spending a bit of a premium isn't an issue get the 4080 Super.

If you can get the 4080 Super for under £1k I would get that. Near enough the same performance with raster but miles ahead when it comes to ray tracing and DLSS is far better then FRS (to be fair if I'm paying £1k for a GPU I wouldn't be looking to use any upscaling technology).
What do you use the PC for? Is it only gaming?
What resolution?
Do you play (or intend to play) with upscaling and ray tracing?
they seem to be a lot of love for the 4080super here , 4k gaming on 4k tv , As a gamer i would say i play lots of different games. from new and even a few older games _ so i think i might get starfield next - forza horizon or any new release driving games . Might try god of war . I don't generally stick to just a few games like some people do .
If you're just gaming then it doesn't really matter which one you pick. The 4080S is the slightly better card on balance for now at least, until AMD deliver on their promise of improving FSR, but then it's also more expensive. I wouldn't consider anything except the Founders Edition at £959 if you go that route. It's in stock right now, so there's zero reason to pay extra for another model. The cooler on the FE is already massively overbuilt since it's shared with the 4090.
not really, they just like spending other ppls money, plus the green n red fan boys would recommend a turd with a green or red badge on it
