Here we present power draw figures for the graphics card-only, on a per-game basis for all twelve games we tested at 1440p. This is measured using Nvidia's Power Capture Analysis Tool, also known as PCAT. You can read more about our updated power draw testing methodology HERE.

12-Game Average at 1440p:

Power draw increases as we step up the resolution to 1440p, with the 4080 Super averaging 266.6W. That is almost identical to the RTX 4080 non-Super, but still well below the rated 320W TGP.

Ray tracing results

As a bonus, we now include the power figures for all six games we test with ray tracing enabled.
