- The supposed results of NVIDIA RTX 5080 Geekbench have been shared
- They suggest approximately an improvement from generation to generation of approximately 20% compared to RTX 4080
- However, the RTX 5080 seems to fall short compared to the previous RTX 4090.
With the RTX 5090 now reviewed and evaluated in its entirety, as an undoubtedly powerful GPU, although to the point of exaggerating in many ways, the attention of the world of the reference points has focused on the RTX 5080.
The reviews of this second GPU Blackwell GeForce are imminent and thanks to Benchleaks (through Tom’s Hardware), we obtained an alleged result of Geekbench (be skeptical with him, as with any spill of this type).
The results correspond to the GEEKBENCH Graphics tests and suggest that RTX 5080 will reach a score of around 262,000 in Vulkan and 256,000 in OpenCL.
That would represent approximately a generational increase of 20% (a little more) in performance compared to RTX 4080 with the Vulkan score, but less than 10% for OpenCL. As Tom points out, Blackwell Vulkan’s performance seems better than OpenCl.
As our brother site also points out, Vulkan’s score here is quite close to that of RTX 4090, but RTX 5080 is a bit away from OpenCL, since the latest generation flake is approximately 20% faster than the new graphic card.
The RTX 5090 is about 40% and 45% faster than RTX 5080, if you ask how the new flagship compares, but again, this is based on rumors.
Analysis: In line with other speculation, practically
As always when the reference points are analyzed, the synthetic results are not as valuable as the real world games tests, and Geekbnch is not the first place that someone would go in search of a metric to judge the play skill of a game of a graphic card. But still, this gives us a clue about where the RTX 5080 could land in terms of gross power for PC games.
And, as this track says, it is more or less what I expected. Leaving the OpenCl score aside, I would say that an increase in performance of 20% (for rasterized games, without DLSS and without lightning route) sounds good, according to previous rumors, but obviously we are still very far from being able to reach that conclusion.
It is worth remembering that the games that admit DLSS 4 (and the new technology of generation of nvidia, MFG) Blackwell desktop. And it is also worth noting that, although the RTX 4080 was a great unquestionable leap in performance for an XX80 class graphics card, the price that Nvidia put was shocking at that time and meant that we were not fans of our review ( And this GPU did not fly from the shelves in any way, in the past).
Now we are more acclimatized to the high Nvidia prices in the high range and, of course, with the RTX 5080, its MSRP has fallen back to $ 999 in the USA. UU. (Compared to the $ 1,199 of RTX 4080) . So that is a kind of gain for consumers, although a thousand dollars remains a dazzling sum to get rid of a desktop GPU.
The NVIDIA RTX 5080 arrives on January 30, together with the RTX 5090, and the RTX 5070 and 5070 you will follow it at some point in February. If you plan to buy the GPU next week, we have a list of the best places to be attentive to the RTX 5080 stock. However, it is rumored that this graphics card is missing existers, and they could also run out very quickly; You may need good luck to get your next -generation GPU.
