Key Differences

  • No game was measured on every one of these cards on one shared test system, so there is no speed comparison to make.
  • RTX 5080 has the most memory bandwidth: 960 GB/s against 644.6 GB/s.
  • RX 9070 XT draws the least power: 304 W against 360 W.
  • Core counts are not comparable across these architectures.

DLAA counts as native resolution; DLSS, FSR and XeSS upscaling never do. A ray tracing setting without a readable on or off value is read as on.

Gaming benchmarks

Every card ran the same games at the same settings on one test system: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D, DDR5-6000 MHz RAM. The index sets the fastest card to 100 using the eligible test runs.
