First gaming review of GeForce RTX 4080 - up to 19% faster than GeForce RTX 3090 Ti

Two days left before the sales of GeForce RTX 4080 graphics gas pedal on Ada Lovelace architecture, and Chinese enthusiasts already started to publish first reviews of novelty in circumvention of NVIDIA ban.
For example, performance data was shared by Big Hardware Player user on Bilibili platform.
Previously, he was one of the first to publish reviews GeForce RTX 3080 Ti and RTX 3070 Ti generation Ampere.Image source: NVIDIAChinese enthusiast did not specify the manufacturer tested GeForce RTX 4080, but pointed out that the graphics card is equipped with a dual BIOS.
In one case, the maximum TDP of the novelty is set at a nominal value of 320 watts.
The second firmware increases the maximum TDP of the graphics card to 450W.
The second BIOS the Chinese enthusiast used to test the power efficiency.

Below is the average performance of the new gas pedal against the GeForce RTX 4090 and GeForce RTX 3090 Ti.
In gaming benchmarks, the GeForce RTX 4080 averaged 19% faster than the GeForce RTX 3090 Ti and about 23% slower than the GeForce RTX 4090.
Note that GeForce RTX 4090 and GeForce RTX 3090 Ti were tested on a DDR5-6800 PC, whereas GeForce RTX 4080 were tested on a DDR5-6200 system.
However, in both cases the test platform was based on the flagship Intel Core i9-13900K processor.

Performance of GeForce RTX 4080 in synthetic 3DMark testsThe most interesting detail of an early review of GeForce RTX 4080 graphics gas pedal were the results of energy efficiency measurements.
For this test Chinese reviewer used BIOS with inflated to 450W TDP value.
Power consumption of GeForce RTX 4080 in synthetic benchmarksTests showed that the card is close to its maximum performance already at 280W.
GeForce RTX 4080 gaming power consumptionGaming power consumption of GeForce RTX 4080 can be reduced even further, to nearly 260W.
Increased power consumption does not bring gas pedal significant performance boost, at least in tests in 4K resolution.Video review of GeForce RTX 4080 by Chinese enthusiast can be found here.
The video card will go on sale on November 16.
