1440p Gaming Performance
To start the bidding today, we will look at the 1440p performance of the EVGA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti FTW3 ULTRA GAMING video card in an assortment of games. All of the games are running at the highest quality selections available sans Ray Tracing and DLSS which we will look at separately. For each game, we are using the game benchmark included with the game and reporting the average frames per second.
Far Cry 6
In Far Cry 6, The EVGA RTX 3080 Ti FTW3 ULTRA GAMING lead from the middle of the pack at 104 FPS.
