In this segment of the video, the YouTuber discusses GPU prices, specifically focusing on the RTX 3070 and RTX 3080 12GB model. The comparison includes considerations of VRAM, performance metrics, and price points. Benchmark tests, starting with Cyberpunk 2077 at 1080p, are conducted to evaluate performance differences between the two GPUs, highlighting power draw variances and image quality compromises. The analysis aims to provide practical insights for viewers looking to make an informed GPU purchase decision.

In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses the performance of GPUs, specifically focusing on the 3070 and 3080 models with and without ray tracing in Cyberpunk at 1080p and 1440p resolutions. They note that at 1080p, ray tracing can impact frame rates significantly, especially on the 3070, while the 3080 performs better. At 1440p, the 3070 struggles with ray tracing, even on low settings requiring DLSS while the 3080 manages better performance at ultra settings. The speaker emphasizes the heavy demands of ray tracing and suggests adjusting settings like DLSS for smoother gameplay.

In this segment of the video, the discussion revolves around performance comparison between the RTX 3070 and RTX 3080 in various gaming scenarios.
At 1440p resolution with RT Ultra, the RTX 3080 is seen to require more than eight gigabytes of VRAM, showcasing its capability for heavier ray tracing games compared to the RTX 3070.
Moving to 4k resolution, the RTX 3070 can handle playable native 4k on medium settings and even higher with DLSS balanced. On the other hand, the RTX 3080 can comfortably run at a higher preset with DLSS quality to deliver better frame rates compared to the RTX 3070 even with more aggressive DLSS settings.
The concern over the RTX 3070’s 8 gigabytes of VRAM at 4k is alleviated by the need to lower settings in intensive titles and render at lower than 4k resolution when using DLSS, mitigating the VRAM requirement.
Both GPUs perform well in Red Dead Redemption 2 at 1440p, with the RTX 3080 achieving over 100 fps in many scenes compared to the RTX 3070, which can max the game out with acceptable frame rates. Adjusting settings in certain scenarios can further optimize performance for both GPUs.
00:09:00
In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses performance on the RTX 3070 in Horizon Zero Dawn at 4K resolution. They mention that some compromises may be needed, and recommend using DLSS for improved visual quality. It is noted that the RTX 3070 approaches its 8GB VRAM capacity and resizable bar may impact this allocation. The comparison of performance between the RTX 3070 and 3080 at 1440p ultra settings reveals potential CPU limits affecting the 3080’s performance. Moving to 4K ultra settings, both GPUs offer good performance, but the RTX 3070 may dip below 60fps in demanding scenes, suggesting DLSS or lowering settings may be necessary for smoother gameplay.
00:12:00
In this segment of the video, the focus is on comparing the gaming performance of NVIDIA’s 3070 and 3080 GPUs, particularly in the game Forza Horizon 5. The 3080 outperforms the 3070, especially at 4k resolution, providing a better gaming experience. The comparison is made at 1440p resolution on ultra settings. There is mention of advantages for AMD GPUs with smart access memory in this game, although the video primarily focuses on the performance of the 3070 and 3080. The 3070 can handle 1080p gaming well, but may struggle with heavy-duty ray tracing in titles like Cyberpunk, where the 3080 performs better.
00:15:00
In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses the performance of the Nvidia RTX 3070 and RTX 3080 GPUs at 1440p and 4K resolutions. The RTX 3070 performs well at 1440p but may struggle with VRAM limitations in the future, particularly with ray tracing. The RTX 3080 is more suited for ray tracing and performs better at 1440p with features like DLSS. The RTX 3080 is recommended for 4K gaming due to its better performance and image quality compared to the RTX 3070. The speaker also mentions the potential longevity of these GPUs in future game titles and hints at upcoming GPU releases with improved performance.
00:18:00
In this part of the video, the speaker discusses using their RTX 3080 12GB for gaming at 4K resolution. They mention the need to sometimes use DLSS and lower settings when enabling ray tracing due to performance constraints. The speaker suggests that future GPU generations will improve 4K gaming experience. They recommend waiting for the next GPU generation for better 4K performance but note that the RTX 3080 is a good choice for 1440p gaming for now. The speaker emphasizes that new GPU releases do not diminish the performance of current GPUs and wishes the viewers a great day.
