Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 review: performance worthy of the name?
Game benchmarks: Alan Wake 2, Black Myth: Wukong, Cyberpunk 2077.
Our raster (non-RT) game benchmarks kick off with the ABCs - Alan Wake 2, Black Myth: Wukong and Cyberpunk 2077. We've aimed for a range of genres and engines here to ensure a representative sample, from custom powerhouses in Remedy's Northlight and CDPR's RED Engine to the ubiquitous Unreal Engine 5. The Alan Wake and Cyberpunk benches are both custom jobs, traversing some of the most demanding areas in their respective game worlds, while the Wukong benchmark is taken from a cutscene right at the start of the game.
As usual, readers on mobile-class browsers will see basic tables showing frame-rate averages, while viewers on full-fat browsers get the deluxe package: animated bar charts that let you mouse over to see advanced metrics, plus an embedded YouTube video that can be played to see frame-rates and frame-times fluctuate throughout the benchmark run.
