While our primary focus so far has been on the gaming performance of the RTX 3080 Ti Founders Edition, here we include a select sample of 3DMark and 4K gaming benchmarks, testing all four RTX 3080 Ti cards featured in this review.

This data shows us there isn't a whole lot to be gained from a factory-overclocked AIB card. In some instances, the factory OC is enough to push the RTX 3080 Ti beyond the RTX 3090, as seen in Gears 5. In other examples however, such as Total War Saga: Troy, the added clock speed the partners have added really is inconsequential. The bottom line is an RTX 3080 Ti performs like an RTX 3080 Ti, and factory overclock or not, they are all very much in the same ballpark.
