Here we present frame rate figures for each graphics card, averaged across all 11 games on test today. These figures can disguise significant variations in performance from game to game, but provide a useful overview of the sort of performance you can expect at each resolution tested.

Looking at our average results, it's no surprise to see the RTX 3080 Eagle come in marginally ahead of the Founders Edition at every resolution. Even at 1080p, where the CPU is a significant limiting factor for this GPU, the Eagle averages 1% increased frame rates.

At 1440p and 4K, the Eagle is 2% faster than Nvidia's design. It's by no means a big jump forward, but it certainly seems Ampere has been delivered pretty close to its limits, so any factory overclocks won't result in huge gains.
