NVIDIA has shared three new gaming benchmarks for its upcoming RTX 4080 12GB and RTX 4080 16GB graphics cards. To be more precise, the green team has shared the performance of these two GPUs in Microsoft Flight Simulator, F1 22 and A Plague Tale: Requiem.
According to NVIDIA, the RTX 4080 12GB will be slower than the RTX 3090Ti in these games at native 4K. However, with DLSS 3, this graphics card will be able to surpass the RTX 3090Ti even when using DLSS 2.
Now I have to say that NVIDIA’s RTX 4090 native 4K results are nowhere close to what we got in A Plague Tale: Requiem. NVIDIA claims that the RTX 4090 offers an average of 106fps. However, our RTX 4090 only pushed 70fps at 4K/Ultra on our benchmarks (in the benchmark scene that NVIDIA recommended using). I don’t know what scene NVIDIA tested, but the RTX 4090 is nowhere close to 100fps at native 4K/Ultra in that game.
NVIDIA also hinted at the game’s graph that it will support Ray Tracing effects. For what it’s worth, our review build did not feature any Ray Tracing options. So I can’t imagine how heavy this game will be with RT effects.
On the other hand, the numbers of F1 22 are close to what we have at native 4K. Microsoft Flight Simulator is also close to what we were getting at high altitudes (high-altitude scenarios are less CPU-bound).
NVIDIA will officially launch the RTX 4090 later today. The green team will also release the RTX 4080 12GB and the RTX 4080 16GB in November!

Never trust 1st-party benchmarks
Another set of beautiful cherrypicked benchmark that don’t help people much.
They could have just posted the DLSS2 results for the 4xxx series cards as wel in the graph so that you can actually compare stuff.
Also the 4080 cards are probably most used for 1440p and normal rendering.
Here the big gains will probably also fall off a bit relatively to the 4k results.
All in all. Good gains, but why can’t NVIDIA just post easily comparable charts like AMD?
Because then you would be less impressed, and they don’t want that.
4090 is one beast of a GPU. Imagine the Ti version how much stronger it will be compared to the 3080 and 3090…
Not me, I’m waiting for the 5090ti that is the size of a house and that will bankrupt anyone trying to power it.
Jokes aside 4090 with power target set to 60% is power efficient (280W) while performance isnt much worse. I wonder why Nv pushed 4090 power limit way above it’s sweet spot, but maybe they already know how fast RDNA 7900XT will be and they want to win at all cost.

Why are the 4080 cards doing so bad at native 4k in A Plague Tale: Requiem? The 4090 is getting 106 fps while the 4080 16gb is only getting 55. There is no logic in the 4090 having nearly twice the framerate.

that is 68% more cores and will run at slightly lower boost speeds. plus it never comes close to scaling good on the highest skus. and look at all the other benchmark numbers between the 4080 16gb and 4090 and you will see the rest make sense.
A plague Tale Requiem looks set to be the most demanding game ever. It cripples the 3080 at 4K without RT. Can’t think of any other game off the top of my head that’s so demanding…
A Plague Tale: Requiem- Sponsored by Ngreedia
This is just pathetic. 4 fps advantage in a generation (4080 vs 3080). Ngreedia truly living up to its name.
That’s a 4070 in disguise.
A Plague Tale: Requiem must be so badly optimized that only a 4090 can do 4k over 60fps, and yet thats without Raytracing, i never look at dlss as it should not be the cure all for fps and badly made games
…or, deliberately nerfed to help aid NVIDIA’s new architecture and later in the title’s post-launch so-called fixes, the devs and NVIDIA releases a *magical* performance driver to demonstrate Lovelace fake optimization/performance boosts. ?
I am sure so many will give a sht about that crap boring af game
Lol true
I am sure so many will give a sht about that crap boring af game
I see the paid shills are in full NVIDIA mode going to every site cheering for NVIDIA.
C’mon, administration, you are capable to see these new campaign shill accounts.
The 4090 is incredibly impressive. The price is high. The 4080’s are a joke and the price is WAY too high and the performance is a joke. A owner of a 3080 isn’t going to upgrade for this trash. The 4090 is still f*king insane. After like 6 months if Nvidia manages to sell their 3000 series stock off they could drop the price on the 4080 cards by like 300 bucks and everything would be right as rain. The 4080ti though will probably be 1200 and actually worth the money then.
I wonder how many idiots will believe the ampunt of VRAM makes the difference between the 4070 12GB, i mean 4080, vs the real 4080 16GB.
4080 12GB (or should I say 4070) performance without DLSS is underwhelming. Yes it’s a little bit faster than 3080 but also more expensive, so if 3080 owners will be willing to sell their cards at reasonable 500-600$ then paying 900$ for “4070” will make a little sense.
4080 16GB is more interesting, but people with money who are willing to pay 1200$ for GPU may as well pay 400$ extra for MUCH faster 4090 (at least that’s what I would do in their shoes).
I have a RTX 2080 currently and I game on a 165hz 1080p monitor and use a second 4k 60hz one for productivity and work.
I got my RTX 2080 for approximately 450$ with Tax back in 2018. I absolutely love it for what I play right now. I can’t justify 900$ right now for a newer GPU.
The days of 500$ High Tier GPU’s are over. It is absolutely insane how much costs have come up within the last 4 years.
Yep it’s so frikking sad!
Im sitting on my trusty 2060S, that been amazing for money spent – best purchase but was really hoping for the 40 series – was holding out!
Was thinking on the 4070 or even go 4060, but I guess they will suck, and Still be expensive as hell :/
4090 = GA102 die with 384bit memory bus
4080 16GB = GA103 die with 256bit memory bus
4080 12GB = GA104 die with 192bit memory bus
The 4080 12GB is just a renamed 4070 because WTF would spend 900$ on a “4070”, they can justify it by stating its a 4080.
I’d go even further.
The 3080 was a 3090 with a cut down GA102. This time such a “smaller” AD102 doesn’t exist, but if it would, the other cards should go like this:
The 4080 16 GB = RTX 4070,
and 4080 12 GB = RTX 4060 (ti).
yep, it’s pretty insulting to ask $900 for a card that should’ve been 4th tier in the hierarchy.
