Re-basing Graphics Cards to Compare with the RTX 5080

3080 to 5080

Did you check out the new RTX 5080 launch? It is nVidia’s latest $1000 (or $1500) card, meant for those who have $1000-$1500 to spend on a GPU, and do not wish to splurge on the $2800 RTX 5090. It is a good time to be very wealthy!

Getting deeper into RTX 5080 specifics is not the goal for this post, though. That’s what we did last week! Instead, today’s post is about the fact that we will be using the RTX 5080 as the reference for our performance percentages in our main chart from now on, as opposed to the RTX 3080.

Updating CPU Performance Comparisons Nov. 18-19

Greetings.

We are updating the CPU performance information shown. Our current CPU descriptions compare performance to the old Ryzen 9 3900X. We are updating the performance numbers to be compiled from newer benchmarks, and showing performance relative to the new Ryzen 9 9900X.

As we update the CPU descriptions, you may see errors in the performance numbers, where some of the CPUs are still being compared to the older 3900X, making them look out of place. We are working on making sure that all CPU description are updated and standardized within a day or two of this post.

Thank you!

November 2017 was the last time we updated the GPU descriptions. We compared cards to the Titan XP, and had benchmarks for WoW and Witcher 3.

Now that it is November 2018, I have updated the base comparison GPU and the reference games.

Last year was an amazing one for AMD, with the company releasing a slew of extremely successful new CPUs based on the Zen architecture. This year is getting off to a decent start as well—with a new line of Ryzen CPUs with integrated Vega graphics processors (the R3 2200G and R5 2400G) being launched earlier this week. In this article, we will look at how well these freshly released processors fare against Intel’s integrated graphics, Nvidia’s low-budget GT 1030, and AMD’s own earlier APU integrated graphics.
