NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Founders Edition Review- a big step forward and the tombstone for Turing

Let’s start with the FPS values in connection with the 1% low FPS, i.e. the consideration of the percentiles (which I’ll show later over the entire bandwidth as a curve) in the worst case, since min FPS itself doesn’t say anything., What the GeForce RTX 3080 FE delivers here is already brute even on WQHD and is actually only occasionally limited by the CPU. I have listed all the bar charts of all 10 games one below the other, so you can get a good impression.

If a game scales well, such as Horizon Zero Dawn, then the lead of the GeForce RTX 3080 FE over the GeForce RTX 2080 Super is a whopping 71% and over the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti still 40%, although the CPU is already slightly limited, which we can see later in the CPU power consumption measurements and efficiency considerations. A lot of games perform similarly sovereign or at least clearly better as long as the CPU is not involved.

Two of these candidates are World War Z with a blatant CPU limit and Total War: Three Kingdoms, which also demands too much load from the CPU. Then there’s no more room for FPS orgies, even though the GeForce RTX 3080 FE is of course clearly ahead. Just not as clearly as it could if you let it. But it also shows that it would already be decadent to punish such a GPU with a rather slow CPU substructure. A pity for the money, because then the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti is also easily sufficient.

RTX On is a thing of its own. The increase of almost 25% in comparison to the GeForce RTX 2080 Super shrinks to almost 12% in the RTX 2080 Ti, whereby it almost only depends on the RT cores. If you are honest, this is also a big increase, but not yet a real sensation. If it is possible to use the possibilities of RTX in games a little more purposefully and not to produce a graphic demo for the ego, then in combination with DLSS of course higher resolutions are suddenly well playable. The reflections in Wolfenstein Youngblood are of course a commendable approach, while in Metro there is a crysis-feeling to be found again in some places. But: it looks damn good. Especially at night and near water.
