What game graphics pay off? The twice as expensive model offers only a slight increase in performance

It was already clear at the premiere of the new graphics that the GeForce RTX 3090 card would be the most powerful model in the world. And that really doesn’t change anything. Graphics with this core represent the best on the market, as evidenced by published foreign tests.

However, individual newsrooms note that the increase is not as marked compared to the significantly cheaper RTX 3080 model as it might seem from the pricing. The prices of the RTX 3080 model start at CZK 18,999, in the case of the RTX 3090 potential applicants must prepare at least CZK 40,999.

But in terms of performance, the RTX 3090 is only 10 to 15% faster on average in individual games and computing, which is not much with regard to the double price tag. However, it is still true that whoever wants the best on the market will not think about anything other than the GeForce RTX 3090 at the moment.

In practice, the RTX 3090 should be 50 percent more powerful than the Titan RTX, which has so far been described as the most powerful card in the world. The card is therefore built for full-fledged playing in 8K resolution, at 60 frames per second.

The GeForce RTX 3080 is twice as fast as the RTX 2080. It offers 10 GB of the latest GDDR6X memory at 19 Gbps. The new RTX 3080 can constantly achieve 60 frames per second at 4K resolution in modern games.

It should be emphasized that these prices need to be taken with a certain amount of reserve. Applies to reference models only. Cards in modifications from individual manufacturers, which offer quieter cooling or are already overclocked from the factory, are several thousand more expensive. Asus, Colorful, EVGA, Gainward, Galaxy, Gigabyte, Innovision 3D, MSI, Palit, PNY and Zotac offer such models in their offers.
