3080 benchmarks are in! Are they good?

Wait does dsr increase fps now? Or are you just reffering to getting higher gpu usage?

 

I'll be mostly playing 1080p at low ish settigns

Basically you use DSR to output to process at higher resolution and then DLSS to render less of it. I wonder if this is even possible lol. So that you render at 4K using DSR to 1080p and then save compute power by using DLSS at 4K which is natively rendered at 1080p or 1440p. Lol, what a mess. And I don't think you can use DLSS and DSR at the same time.

Nvidia claimed a 80% improvement over the 2080

They claimed double. It is on vray.

probably need to upgrade to 4k to fully remove the bottleneck but yeah 1440p will help

Maybe not if you do ray tracing and high refreshrate depending on the game.

[Mister Woof]

My thoughts? Not worth getting unless you are playing at 4k.

 

Even as high as 1440p, ALL current CPUs on average bottleneck the 308.

 

Seems from most outlets reporting, the performance uplift from 2080ti is around 20% at 1440p and 30% at 4k, giving 4k a massive 50% gain in performance delta by going up a resolution.

 

This isn't even considering the 3090, whose bottlenecking will be even MORE apparent.

 

Might be worth it for 1440p users if they want quiet operation and a future CPU upgrade, though.

 

Most 1440p users should wait for the 3070, Big Navi, or a cheap second hand 2080ti, because even if you have a fancy 240hz 1440p display, your CPU is too slow to power it.

Now all AMD has to do is match the performance of a 2080/2080Ti, make it consume much less power and sell it for less.

This is what convinced me to get the 3080 really. I plan on running MSFS on more than ultra settings (manually tweaking LOD to 9x instead of Ultra's 2x in the cfg) with addon aircraft and airports, so this card will basically be a requirement to have a smooth experience 

[F.E.A.R.]

It's no the GPU, it's the CPU bottlenecking the GPU like Jensen said, that's why it's not 80% faster.

Okay so I have a 8700k and I want to buy a 3080.
I need to upgrade my 1080p monitor to a 1440p monitor in order to essentially remove the bottleneck, right?
(However I will be using my 1080p monitor until I have the money for a 1440p and regardless of bottleneck, its still going to be a huge upgrade from a 1060 6gb)

You can still game at 1440p using your current 1080p monitor using nVidia DSR. I do that too and I play GTAV at 1440p on my 1080p monitor and GTA4 at 2160p.

just wait, your going to want more VRAM

41 fps is smooth?

Yes, very smooth. This is a flight sim we are talking about remember, I'll keep turning up settings till im down to 30fps.

That would be true, but I plan on using 1440p (with much higher settings than ultra) so I think I should be fine.

Not sure what people were expecting tbh. You shouldn't trust marketing

Agreed!

Nvidia really got me with the hype train so I am quite a bit disappointed.

Don't rush and buy cards wait for RDNA2 to be out

[shermantanker]

Looks like the 3080 will bottleneck my 5930k... will wait and see what the new Ryzen 4000 can do vs a 10900k, but now I’m wondering if a 3090 will be bottlenecked by a 144hz 1440p screen...

[RejZoR]

Now I'm a bit worried. I'd go with RTX 3080, but being on several generations old CPU, despite being very capable and overclocked hexa core, I don't think I'll be seeing the same uplift. Especially since I'm running stuff at 1080p.

 

Might wait, grab Ryzen 4800X and then go with some better gfx later on. Or just grab RTX 3080 now and grab Ryzen 4800X later...

3440x1440 benchmarks if anyone's interested: https://www.pcgameshardware.de/Geforce-RTX-3080-Grafikkarte-276730/Tests/Test-Review-Founders-Edition-1357408/4/

 

it's in german but you can filter out the results. for me tho, seems very good at this resolution, tho i am curious about 3840x1600 benchmarks 

[SADS]

I feel that when a "Ti" variant comes out, we're still going to get stuffed on the pricing here.

It'll no doubt be close to €/$/£1K

1080Ti was about 6-700, which is what we pay for 3080 now.

It will only seem reasonable because we were so effing scammed by the price of the 2080Ti.

 

I am kinda disappointed that there's no DP2.0 as well. By the time a Ti level card comes out, there will be 4k monitors with DP2.0, capable of over 120hz so the HDMI standard will not be enough to play in 4K at the frame rates that card will be capable of.

If you don't play AAA games and want to play in 4K at over 120hz, its still no good for you.

preformance. I did see the ltt benchmarks after, but from jayz video, it looks like they over exaderated how much faster the 3080 is over the 2080.

This, saw the benchmarks only 10-15 more fps in 4k compared to the 2080ti. Only worth it for 1440p. Bit underwhelming tbh. Thought we'd see the same jump in performance we got from the 900 to the 1000 series.

[RejZoR]

Would be nice if they compared RTX 3080 to GTX 1080Ti since those people are most likely to be doing upgrades, realistically...

[Briggsy]

as expected, this is only going to be an upgrade for 4K gaming performance.

 

Some people are going to cry that CPU bottleneck is the cause for 1080p and 1440p performance stagnation, but we're kind of at a dead end for IPC gains on CPU's for gaming - despite Intel and AMD claims of IPC gains each generation, these aren't Gaming IPC improvements FYI (Sorry, no Nvidia fine wine at 1080p). 

 

For 4K gaming this is where the 3080 shines. If you're gaming at 1080p or 1440p, look elsewhere. If you're gaming at 4K, that 10GB frame buffer is worrying for longevity. Nvidia definitely priced the card appropriately this time.

[LAwLz]

Seems like Nvidias benchmarks were pretty spot on, or very slightly exaggerated (around 80% better than the RTX 2080). It's just that all their benchmarks were for 4K and we don't see as big improvements at lower resolutions.
