Bottom line: how fast is the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti?

At 1440p (RT Ultra, ray tracing on, DLSS Quality), the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti averages 146 fps in Resident Evil Requiem with a 128 fps 1% low, per PCBench. For local LLM inference it generates 288.0 tokens/sec running llama3.2:1b at q4_K_M under llama.cpp, per LocalScore.ai. In PassMark G3D Mark it scores 26,774 pts, per PassMark. Its 12 GB of VRAM is the binding constraint for local inference: that capacity fits 8-13B-parameter models at Q4_K_M.

Every figure above is a row in the tables below, and each row links out to the review or public benchmark database the number was taken from. SpecPicks aggregates published measurements; it does not report first-party benchmark runs.
