In 3DMark, the RTX 4080 FE trails behind the RTX 4090 FE by 20%. But in comparison with the Radeon RX 6950 XT, we see a 14% benefit with AD103 in the Graphics components of all 3DMark tests put together. The card also leads by a healthy 39% when compared to the average RTX 3090 and the average RTX 3080 Ti, which is commendable.
We will look into more synthetic, compute, and professional application benchmarks in our final review.
While synthetic benchmarks are helpful, games present a somewhat different paradigm. Despite sporting a more than 68% higher CUDA core count, the RTX 4090's performance advantage does not scale as linearly in comparison with the RTX 4080. There can be many reasons for this, such as game engine optimizations, CPU bottlenecks, and so on.
At the moment, the RTX 4090 leads the RTX 4080 by 25% in tested games. However, the RTX 4080 is able to offer a 20% lead over the RTX 3090 Ti, which launched as a US$1,999 card. Compared to the Radeon RX 6950 XT, we see that Nvidia is able to offer a significant 37% benefit in raster.
We should note here that the RTX 4090 and RTX 4080 make sense only if you game at maxed out settings at QHD or UHD resolutions. At 1080p Ultra and lower settings, we found that the differences between these cards diminish even with a flagship gaming CPU such as the Core i9-13900K.
You may also encounter situations where the RTX 4080 might offer a few additional frames over the RTX 4090 as you keep dialing down the settings. As game engines get older and cards become disproportionately more powerful, such anomalies aren't uncommon.
We will look into these and other aspects such as ray tracing performance, power consumption, stress tests, and fan noise levels in the full reviews for these cards coming up shortly, so stay tuned.
The Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 Founders Edition will be available for US$1,199 from tomorrow alongside other add-in board (AiB) partner cards.
