GTX 1080

Measured performance for GTX 1080 across 3 verified WhatFPS runs. Every number is measured in our benchmark suite — not estimated, not self-reported. GPU score (the card's own performance): 2,297 on average over the best run per rig, best run 2,340 — #44 of 59 measured graphics cards. The best rig we measured it in scored 3,204 GAMING (that number reflects the whole PC, not just GTX 1080). Most often paired with Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-9100F CPU @ 3.60GHz.

What the numbers mean

The GAMING score is a geometric mean of GPU (63 %), CPU (30 %), RAM (5 %) and drive (2 %) — a weak part cannot hide behind a strong one. The GPU score is the hardware's own performance and what we rank on. Every run is HMAC-signed in the app and scored on the server. The full methodology is open at https://whatfps.com/metodik
