Both the GeForce RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 have been tested in PassMark’s G3D Mark benchmark for high-end graphics cards. While the overall performance and standing of the Blackwell cards is as expected, the generational performance increase over the GeForce 40 series is low compared to the gains made by the RTX 4090 and RTX 4080 over their GeForce 30 series counterparts.
Only 3% higher than average 4090?
In this benchmark yes. And the overall noise seems to be that the 50-series is a bit of a disappointment (it’s to be expected really as it’s a refinement rather than a whole new architecture like the 60-series will be).
That being said, it does have other improvements in areas like the RT cores so real-world examples will most likely see a bigger gain than 3%.
I don’t know. I didn’t read the article. I came to the comments hoping someone would share the important part,
