Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 Founders Edition Review: A Huge Generational Leap in Performance

What were you saying?

Also, do we even know RDNA2 specs? the 5700 XT barely measures past a 2060s.

I cant understand this nerd shit. Are the cards good

Yes, they're about 18% better than the 20 series.

The RTX 3080 Founders Edition blew away the competition: It's not even close. It ended up 27% faster than the Titan RTX, 32% faster than the RTX 2080 Ti, 57% faster than the RTX 2080 Super it replaces at the $700 price point, and 69% faster than the RTX 2080 FE. If you're hanging on to a 10-series Nvidia card, the 3080 also beat the 1080 Ti by 87% and ended up nearly 150% faster than the GTX 1080 FE.

So how much power does the RTX 3080 use? It turns out the 320W rating is perhaps slightly conservative: We hit 335W averages in both Metro Exodus and FurMark.

So it's faster, more powerful, and uses a crapton of electricity.

Note that these are also the worst-case scenarios/suboptimal conditions too because of CPU bottlenecking. It's when you get into 4k that these really throw their weight around.
