GeForce RTX 3090 Ti vs GeForce RTX 5080 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce RTX 5080 GPU is faster than the GeForce RTX 3090 Ti in gaming.

In our comparison, the GeForce RTX 5080 has a significantly higher core clock speed. This is the frequency at which the graphics core is running at. While not necessarily an indicator of overall performance, this metric can be useful when comparing two GPUs based on the same architecture. In addition, the GeForce RTX 5080 also has a significantly higher boost clock speed. The boost clock speed is the frequency that the GPU core can reach if the temperature is low enough. The allows for higher performance in certain scenarios.

As stated by the manufacturer, the GeForce RTX 3090 Ti has significantly more memory with 24 GiB of memory compared to 16 GiB. Lots of memory is good when playing at high resolutions or with many monitors.

In addition, the GeForce RTX 5080 has a slightly lower TDP at 360 W when compared to the GeForce RTX 3090 Ti at 450 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the GeForce RTX 5080 is better than the GeForce RTX 3090 Ti.
