Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 review: performance worthy of the name?

Game benchmarks: F1 24, Forza Horizon 5, Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2.

Our second group of non-RT benchmarks incorporates two driving games - F1 24 and Forza Horizon 5 - and the more cinematic Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2, one of three game graphics of the year candidates for 2024. All demand a top graphics card to see them at their best, though F1 24 and Forza Horizon 5 players might also require high frame-rates to make the racing easier and more responsive.

If you're on a desktop-class browser, you can hover over the bar charts to see various metrics - including the best and worst five percent, one percent and 0.1 percent frame-rates. You can also click to see percentages, so you can get a better sense of how much faster or slower each graphics card is in a certain game.
