- Alleged nvidia RTX 5080 Geekbench results have been shared
- They suggest an increase of about 20 % re-on-gene compared to RTX 4080
- RTX 5080, however, seems to be short compared to the older RTX 4090
With the RTX 5090 now reviewed and fully evaluated – as an undoubtedly powerful GPU, albeit to the point of Overkill in many ways – the attention of the benchmark -wasting world is facing the RTX 5080.
Reviews of this other Blackwell GeForce GPU are imminent, and thanks to benchleaks (via Tom’s Hardware) we have caught an alleged geekbench result (be skeptical with what with any such waste).
The results are for the graphics tests from Geekbench, and they suggest that the RTX 5080 will hit a score of about 262,000 in the volcano and 256,000 in Opencl.
It would represent about 20 % generational rise (just above) in performance compared to RTX 4080 with volcanic scores, but less than 10 % for OpenCL. As Tom notes, Blackwell Vulkan’s performance seems stronger than Opencl.
As our sister page further points out, the volcano score here is actually quite close to the RTX 4090, but the RTX 5080 is a bit away with OpenCL as the last generation flagship is about 20% faster than the new graphics card.
The RTX 5090 is about 40 % and 45 % faster than the RTX 5080 if you wondered how the new flagship stays, but again this is based on rumors.
Analysis: In line with other speculation, largely
As always, when you look at benchmarks, synthetic results are not as valuable as game tests in the real world, and Geekbench is not the first place anyone will turn to to get a metric to judge a graphics card’s playing skills after. But nevertheless, this gives us something of a clue as to where the RTX 5080 can land in the form of raw strength for PC games.
And as this tip sounds, that’s pretty much what I expected. If you push the OpenCL result to one side, I would say that a 20 % performance increase (for rasterized, non-DLSS, non-beam tracking games) sounds on the money, based on previous spinning from the rumor mill-but it is clear that we There is still far from being able to draw that conclusion.
It is worth remembering that games that support DLSS 4 (and Nvidia’s new Frame Generation Tech, MFG) can expect a far, far larger frame rate boost from the RTX 5080, or in fact any of the new Blackwell Desktop graphics cards. And it is just as worthwhile to note that while the RTX 4080 was an undoubtedly large leap in performance for an XX80-Class graphics card was the price that Nvidia attached to it, shocking at that time, and meant that we were not one Fan in our review (and this GPU in no way flew off the shelves at that time).
We are now more acclimated at Nvidia’s weighty prices at the higher end, and of course its MSRP with the RTX 5080 has fallen back to $ 999 in the US (compared to $ 1,199 for RTX 4080). So it is something of a win for consumers, although a large sum is still an eye -catching sum to get rid of for a desktop GPU.
Nvidia’s RTX 5080 arrives on January 30 with RTX 5090, with RTX 5070 and 5070 Ten following in February at one point. If you are planning to buy the GPU next week, we have a list of the best places to keep an eye on for inventory of RTX 5080. However, this graphics card rumored to be barely in stock and it could also sell out very quickly – you have Maybe need a lot of luck to land your next generation GPU.
