Nvidia RTX 4080 Graphics Card Review

AIB Comparison

All of the cards feature the same GPU, but we wanted to offer some comparison on how their configurations affect performance. They may all have the same GPU die, but the clock speeds, power delivery and even the BIOS can all be different, and this will show how all that adds up when it comes to gaming performance.

When looking at the comparative data between all of the 4080 models we had in Call of Duty Modern Warfare II at 4K, it’s easy to see that the FE with its lower clock speeds does give some baseline figures that are still 34% better than the 3080 Ti, and each AIB model improves on that slightly, but there really isn’t much in it at all.

In Cyberpunk, it was very much the same story, with the Founders card from NVIDIA setting a precedent, and all of the AIB cards coming out with 2-4% more performance, which could always be argued as margin of error.

Death Stranding was very similar with one real stand-out card, being the INNO3D which commands a 5% lead over the 4080 FE, with all other cards performing slightly better due to their higher boost clocks.

Then in Watch Dogs: Legion, there really is nothing to report, with all models performing nigh on identically in this title.
