RTX 3080

Measured performance for RTX 3080 across 2 verified WhatFPS runs. Every number is measured in our benchmark suite — not estimated, not self-reported. GPU score (the card's own performance): 9,043 in its best run — the best of 2 measured rigs, #17 of 74 measured graphics cards. The average over each rig's best run is 8,969. The best rig we measured it in scored 10,171 GAMING (that number reflects the whole PC, not just RTX 3080). Most often paired with AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D 16-Core Processor.

What the numbers mean

The headline score is the part's best measured run, and the measurements under it come from that same run. It shows what the part has been proven to do — not what an average rig gets out of it. 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
