Launch price in today's dollars

The GeForce RTX 4080 launched at $1,199 in 2022. Adjusted with the U.S. Consumer Price Index, that is about $1,356 in 2026 dollars (7-month average), a 13% rise over 4 years. At its launch price that is 701 Blender points per $100.

Method: launch price × (CPI 2026 average ÷ CPI 2022 average), calendar-year averages of BLS series CPIAUCSL. 2026 covers 7 months so far.

Blender rendering score

Median score 8,408 (middle half of runs 8,151–8,622) across 1,416 community runs on Blender 4.x with the OPTIX backend. That is #8 of 103 graphics cards in our dataset with a score, and #4 of 10 in the GeForce RTX 40 series.

This is a rendering benchmark (samples per minute over the monster, junkshop and classroom scenes), not a gaming benchmark. It says how fast the part renders in Blender's Cycles engine and nothing about frame rates. Source: Blender Open Data, CC0, snapshot 2026-09-06.
