NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 compute performance leaks

While we really want to see more gaming performance leaks of the Ampere GPU family from NVIDIA, this post concerns leaks of the GeForce RTX 3080's compute performance. In a new article, VideoCardz offers a compilation of CUDA and OpenCL tests performed on a GeForce RTX 3080 card with GeForce 456.16 drivers. On average, the RTX 3080 offers 168 percent of the RTX 2080 SUPER's performance and 138-141 percent of the performance of the RTX 2080 Ti.

These types of tests are compute oriented and do not illustrate gaming performance at all. Especially when we take all the new hardware to accelerate technologies (such as RTX or DLSS) into account.

The NDA is expected to be lifted on September 14th so still a week to go until the floodgates open.
