Key Points:
- Benchmark tests compared NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 (16 GB) and RTX 4090 (24 GB) in Cyberpunk 2077 using DLSS 5 neural network rendering on an AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D system with DDR5 RAM.
- At 4K resolution with DLSS 4.5 Quality preset and ray reconstruction off, RTX 4090 achieved 72 FPS with 399 W power consumption, while RTX 5080 reached 61 FPS at 310 W.
- Enabling DLSS 5 cinematic mode and standard ray tracing reduced frame rates to 39 FPS on RTX 4090 and 31 FPS on RTX 5080; path tracing with DLSS 5 Balanced yielded 34 FPS (4090) versus 27 FPS (5080).
- At 1440p with path tracing and DLSS 5 Balanced, RTX 4090 averaged 57 FPS at 395 W and 60°C, outperforming RTX 5080's 48 FPS with 305 W and 55°C by 16%.
- The RTX 4090's larger compute units and 24 GB VRAM maintain its performance advantage over the newer RTX 5080, especially when using advanced neural rendering techniques.
