Using the average frame rate data presented earlier in the review, here we look at the cost per frame using the UK MSRP launch prices for each GPU.

Our cost per frame data is based on UK MSRPs, which we know is meaningless right now as real-world prices are far higher. It does give us an idea of how the manufacturer wants to position their product however, so we will include the data for those interested.

At 1440p, the RTX 3080 Ti has a cost per frame of £8.12, so it's about 23% cheaper per frame when compared to the RTX 3090. Value is still very tough against the RTX 3080 at £650, however, which itself is over 30% cheaper per frame up against the RTX 3080 Ti.

It's a similar story at 4K. Yes, the value proposition is improved from the RTX 3090, but RTX 3090 was never good value to begin with. The cost per frame increase of 47% compared to the RTX 3080 is what causes problems, especially considering the RTX 3080 Ti is only 10% faster on average.
