On paper, Nvidia’s new GeForce RTX 3080 lays claim to a lot of sexy headlines. Its 4K gaming performance is significantly faster than its immediate and identically priced predecessor, the RTX 2080, and it even beats Nvidia’s previous flagship, the RTX 2080 Ti, offering 4K 60fps speeds on max settings in almost all of today’s top games for almost half the money – at least in theory, anyway, as current stock shortages have sent prices skyrocketing since it came out on September 17th.
Still, provided Nvidia eventually get their stock situation under control, the RTX 3080’s official starting price of £649 / $699 also makes it a tempting proposition for current GTX 1080 owners. It not only doubles your PC’s 4K gaming chops, but it also brings a substantial speed boost to playing games at 2560×1440, with my benchmark figures showing improvements of at least 70-80% across a spread of today’s big blockbusters. Add in all its ray tracing and DLSS gubbins and PCIe 4.0 support, and it appears to be a very solid foundation on which to build your “next-gen” gaming PC.
