NVIDIA RTX 4080 Super Outperforms PS5 by a Factor of Three in Digital Foundry’s Testing

The latest addition to NVIDIA’s RTX series, the RTX 4080 Super, has been making waves in the gaming community due to its impressive performance capabilities. In a recent analysis by Digital Foundry, the RTX 4080 Super was found to outperform Sony’s PS5 by a significant margin.

Digital Foundry, a well-known source for gaming hardware analysis, conducted tests on three games: A Plague Tale: Requiem, Cyberpunk 2077, and Alan Wake 2. In identical settings and resolutions, the RTX 4080 Super demonstrated a performance advantage of 3.2 times over the PS5 in A Plague Tale: Requiem. Similarly, in Cyberpunk 2077, the RTX 4080 Super was 3.2 times faster than the PS5. In Alan Wake 2, the RTX 4080 Super showed a performance edge of 3.1 times.

These findings are a testament to the power of the RTX 4080 Super, which has been hailed as a beast among GPUs. For PC gamers, this means that a high-end GPU, such as the RTX 4080 Super, offers superior performance compared to current-generation consoles.

AMD’s Radeon RX 7900XTX also holds its own in the high-performance GPU market. In rasterized games, the 7900XTX matched and even surpassed the performance of the RTX4080S in A Plague Tale: Requiem and Alan Wake 2. However, in Cyberpunk 2077, the 7900XTX lagged behind the RTX4080S. Nevertheless, it was still more than 2 times faster than the PS5.

These results highlight the significant performance gap between consoles and high-end PC GPUs. Sony is expected to address this gap with the PS5 Pro, which is rumored to offer improved performance over the standard PS5. It will be interesting to see how the PS5 Pro compares to the RTX 4080 Super and the Radeon RX 7900XTX.

For PC gamers, the current high-end GPUs, such as the RTX 4080 Super and the Radeon RX 7900XTX, provide an unmatched gaming experience. With both AMD and NVIDIA offering top-tier GPUs, the future of PC gaming looks bright. Let’s hope that Intel’s Battlemage GPUs will also join the fray and offer competitive performance.

In conclusion, Digital Foundry’s testing has shown that the NVIDIA RTX 4080 Super outperforms the PS5 by a factor of three in terms of gaming performance. This is a significant milestone for PC gamers, as it highlights the superior capabilities of high-end GPUs compared to current-generation consoles. The RTX 4080 Super and the Radeon RX 7900XTX are currently the best options for PC gamers seeking the ultimate gaming experience. The upcoming PS5 Pro will be an interesting contender, but for now, PC gamers have the edge.
