Our Verdict: With some tuning, the RTX 4080 makes the most sense for gamers with 4K monitors and it is better than RTX 3080 Ti by a margin. Though serious gamers hardly play at 4k. For everyone else, especially those on 1080p or even 1440p monitors, the RTX 3080 Ti could be the better value choice in the short term. Upgrading from RTX 3080 Ti to RTX 4080 is not recommended as it is less than 30% of improvement in performance. In general, a reasonable upgrade is between 30% and 50% or more to justify the purchase of new hardware.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080

Spec for spec, this RTX 4080 leapfrogs its direct predecessor, the RTX 3080, by boasting 32.8 % more fps. The RTX 4080 has 16 GB RAM compared to the RTX 3080 's 10 GB video memory.

In our synthetic benchmarks, the RTX 4080 blows past the RTX 3080, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti and, amazingly, even the RTX 3090 as well. Fortunately, gaming performance was quite impressive. The RTX 4080 consistently delivers great frame rate increases over the RTX 3080, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti and it really justifies an upgrade.

For 1080p Full HD, we were able to play Starfield, Microsoft Flight Simulator, Immortals of Aveum, The Callisto Protocol, Remnant II at 69 fps to 104 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 92 fps. For 1440p Quad HD, we were able to play Starfield, Immortals of Aveum, Remnant II, The Callisto Protocol, Microsoft Flight Simulator at 63 fps to 80 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 70 fps.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti

The RTX 3090 might be the extreme flagship of the latest Ampere set of graphics cards, but their prices keep them out of the reach of most high-end PC gamers. On the other hand, the RTX 3080 Ti is closer to being reasonably affordable at a price tag of $ 799. The RTX 3080 Ti is much more cheaper than the RTX 2080 Ti as it costs $ 799. Compare this to the RTX 2080 Ti, which came originally at a price of $ 1299. Meanwhile, the AMD closest equivalent card is the RX 6900 XT which costs $ 999.

Spec for spec, this RTX 3080 Ti leapfrogs its direct predecessor, the RTX 2080 Ti, by boasting 49.8 % more fps. The RTX 3080 Ti has 12 GB RAM compared to the RTX 2080 Ti 's 11 GB video memory.

Fortunately, gaming performance was quite impressive. The RTX 3080 Ti consistently delivers great frame rate increases over the RTX 2080 Ti and it really justifies an upgrade. Compared to its AMD 's closest rival, RX 6900 XT, the RTX 3080 Ti was -3.3 % slower.

For 1080p Full HD, we were able to play Microsoft Flight Simulator, Immortals of Aveum, The Callisto Protocol, Remnant II, The Last of Us Part I at 70 fps to 89 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 78 fps. For 1440p Quad HD, we were able to play Microsoft Flight Simulator, The Last of Us Part I, Forspoken, Atomic Heart, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor at 61 fps to 81 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 71 fps.

For 2160p 4K, we were able to play Elden Ring, Red Dead Redemption 2, Assassin's Creed Valhalla, Halo Infinite, A Plague Tale: Requiem at 62 fps to 63 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 62 fps.

RTX 4080 vs RTX 3080 Ti with Ryzen 9 5950X vs Core i9-10900K at 4K and ultra vs ultra settings

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 / Ryzen 9 5950X

In terms of cost, pricing clearly is a genuine issue here and the price of RTX 4080 is simply ridiculous. For those on 1080p or even 1440p monitors, the RTX 4080 is very expensive and there are better value choices in the short term. It is worth noting that the RTX 4080 is a very power hungry card and requires a decent power supply unit. In terms of memory, the RTX 4080 's 16384 MB RAM is more than enough for modern games and should not cause any bottlenecks. 4K gaming is joyous on this RTX 4080 , and with a little tweaking to your AA settings, it'd be hard to imagine a title not capable of 60 fps on average.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti / Core i9-10900K

It is worth noting that the RTX 3080 Ti is a very power hungry card and requires a decent power supply unit. In terms of memory, the RTX 3080 Ti 's 12288 MB RAM is more than enough for modern games and should not cause any bottlenecks. Deciding whether to invest so much money in a high-end GPU like RTX 3080 Ti requires careful thought. 4K gaming is joyous on this RTX 3080 Ti , and with a little tweaking to your AA settings, it'd be hard to imagine a title not capable of 60 fps on average.
