When it comes to Gaming at 4K, the Geforce RTX 3080 Ti performance will always stay way ahead of it competitiors!
Recently Nvidia launched their brand new RTX 3080 Ti Founders Edition graphics card at Computex 2021. As claimed by Nvidia that this Graphics card is a 4K beast but it does come at a slight price premium. For example. the Nvidia Geforce RTX 3080 was launched at $699USD. While the new RTX 3080Ti has launched carrying a price premium of $1199. The new RTX 3080 Ti performs really well at 4K. It is a card that is aimed to deliver RTX 3090 level performance at a much lower price point. So let’s check out the Nvidia RTX 3080 Ti Performance and its specifications as well.

RTX 3080 Ti Performance Benchmarks
The RTX 3080Ti will be paired with an Intel Core i9 11900L Processor along with 32GB of RAM. We are pairing it along with an Intel processor to remove any kind of bottlenecks or software bugs that might occur if we pair it with an AMD Ryzen CPU. Although it doesn’t matter much it’s best to pair an Intel with Nvidia and an AMD with an AMD RX GPU. The RTX 3080 Ti will also be needing a 750W Power supply as it draws more power.
All the games were tested at ultra settings or maximum settings most of them cross the sweet 60FPS on games at 4K! These tests will give us an insight into the RTX 3080 ti performance.
Here are the specs for the Test bench.
| Processor | Intel Core i9-11900K |
| CPU Cooler | Corsair H150i PRO RGB |
| Motherboard | Asus ROG MAXIMUS XIII HERO |
| RAM | Corsair Vengeance Pro 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR4-3200 |
| Storage | Corsair MP600 2TB |
| Case | Corsair Crystal 570X |
| PSU | Corsair HX1000W |
And here are the RTX 3080 ti Performance benchmarks
| Benchmark | 2160P (4K) | 1440P (2K) |
| Shadow of the Tomb Raider | 85fps | 152fps |
| Shadow of the Tomb Raider (DLSS) | 102fps | 159fps |
| CoD: Warzone | 94fps | 138fps |

| Watch Dogs: Legion (DLSS+RT) | 45fps | 71fps |
The Nvidia Geforce RTX 3080 ti will also feature the hash-rate limiter for the cryptocurrency to stop miners from buying these cards in bulk. Mining is also one of the reasons for the global chip shortage and the inflated Graphics Card prices. Get the RTX 3080 ti if you really need the extra horsepower to drive your games at 4K but it will cost you 500$ more. Wheres if you are going to game on a 1080p display only then the RTX 3080 would have been a better value for money card.
The Geforce RTX 3080 Ti performs almost like an RTX 3090, but the latter with more video memory might be beneficial in some scenarios.

That’s it for now..
Until next time..
A 30-year-old avid gamer by choice dabbles in all things tech. Whether spending hours in single-player narrative-based games or going through the latest innovation in technology and chip manufacturing, he prefers to stay on top of things. At the other times, you’ll find him tucked away drumming and headbanging to Rock and Roll Classics.
