RTX 4080 graphics beat RTX 3090 Ti and RX 6950 XT in the benchmark
The first published benchmark of RTX 4080 graphics card shows that this product is so powerful that it was able to easily beat RTX 3090 Ti and RX 6950 XT in tests. Let it go.
Nvidia officially unveiled the RTX 40 series a month or two ago. There is still no access to these cards in many markets, but a benchmark of RTX 4080 has recently been published, which shows its very high ability to perform various tasks. This graphics card, which is considered the second most powerful card in the RTX 40 series, will be released as a successor to the RTX 3080, but in the recently published benchmark, we saw that it can even surpass the RTX 3090 Ti easily.
RTX 4080 uses 9728 Coda processing cores, 304 4th generation Tensor cores and 76 3rd generation RT cores, whose frequency reaches 2505 MHz. The chip used in this product is AD103, while for the most powerful model in this series, a relatively complete AD102 chip is used. This graphics card has 16 GB of very fast dedicated memory of GDDR6X type and the interface is 256 bits.
The power consumption of this card reaches 320 watts, but still, Nvidia uses the architecture of this series without any restrictions in terms of Energy consumption is designed and this means that these cards can consume as much energy as they need. But let's go to the benchmark of this powerful graphics.
RTX 4080 performance in 3DMark benchmark
In the 3DMark benchmark, the RTX 4080 FE graphics card, which is actually the reference version of this card and not custom made by third-party companies, was able to be behind the RTX 4090 with a 20% difference. But compared to AMD's RX 6950 graphics card, it was higher by 14%. Compared to the RTX 3090 Ti, which was the most powerful graphics card of the last generation, the performance of the RTX 4080 was about 22% better.
The interesting point is that the RTX 4080, as a successor to the RTX 3080, was able to achieve 59% of that performance. Show better. This means that the reference version of RTX 4080 was able to get more points than the average score of RTX 3080 cards, which shows the significant improvement of the Ada architecture compared to before.
RTX 4080 performance in the game
Although benchmarks usually give the user a good idea of the processing power of a graphics card, gaming is much more detailed. As a result, you can get a more accurate idea of the performance quality of a part. For example, although we saw a noticeable gap between RTX 4080 and RTX 4090 in the 3DMark test, in playing the game, RTX 4090 could not perform as well as it should, despite benefiting from 68% more Cuda cores. Of course, this issue can have various reasons, including the hardware bottleneck between the processor and graphics and the game's lack of optimization. The smaller one works better. The RTX 4080 appeared 20% better compared to the most powerful graphics card of the last generation, the RTX 3090 Ti, which was launched at a price of 2000 dollars. Compared to one of AMD's best cards, Radeon RX 6950 XT, the performance of Nvidia's representative was 37% better.
In playing heavy games with QHD or UHD quality, using the same RTX 4080 or RTX 4090 is enough. Why? that these cards are made to play the game at the same resolution. In 1080P resolution, but because both cards are really powerful, they will easily handle the user's needs. Even the Core i9-13900K processor can easily handle the game at this resolution. Of course, you may see in some tests that the RTX 4080 was able to appear better than the more powerful model, the RTX 4090, but things like this are normal due to the aging of a series of gaming engines.
More reviews of the RTX 40 series cards. On the way, such as energy consumption, retracing performance, fan noise level, temperature, etc., which we will soon cover in a comprehensive review. RTX 4080 will be sold tomorrow at the price of $1,200 in the reference model.
