I also have a 5900x and had it first paired with a 1080ti. I run a 4K 48“ OLED.
The difference with the 3080ti is mindblowing. I would say double the performance in 4K at least. Sure. If you’re CPU limited the difference won’t be so huge.
But for my example:
In MSFS 2020 I had around 20-30 FPS with the 1080ti.
With the 3080ti I see around 60-70 in the same scenario.
The 3080ti arrived today. I removed the 1080ti from my cooling loop, reconnected the CPU directly to one of my radiators, and installed the 3080ti with its stock air cooler (until the Optimus water block arrives). I haven't attempted any overclocking at all, and I'm not sure if I will before the water block arrives. I may dabble in it, but I'm just not that interested until the card is underwater.
I ran some benchmarks, and played a couple of different games for a little while. One was New World. In towns where I was seeing ~50+ fps I'm now seeing over 80, and anywhere outside of town I'm seeing into the hundreds, with the highest I've seen so far being over 200fps while standing on a cliff overlooking a body of water.
I played Battlefield 5 for a little bit. I don't know what the actual FPS was because I'd gone into the NVidia control panel and set up a 117fps max framerate cap, with GSync and Vsync on. I just know that in BF5 the game was capped at 117fps 100% of the time. My monitor has a 120hz refresh rate, and I read somewhere that the best settings were GSync and Vsync on with framerate cap of -3 under the monitor refresh rate.
As a precaution I'm going to keep this 117fps framerate cap on while playing New World, and I may as well just leave it for all games.
So far I compared my 3DMark scores with many posted at the start of this thread. Since they're all overclocked GPUs and mine's running stock so far I'm naturally getting beaten by like 10% in the GPU scores, but my CPU is crushing them all. My 5900 is running a fairly aggressive PBO2/CO overclock and my RAM is overclocked at 3800MT/s CL14. For tests where the RAM speed factors in it's doing just great. When my 3080ti is under water and I push an OC I'm expecting to have some very good scores indeed.
Anyhow I'm pretty satisfied so far. In the games I'm actually playing recently I'm mostly going to max out my monitor's refresh, and even in towns in New World 80-90fps is hardly unplayable
