GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 is the clear performance driver in this pairing. Its 16 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus delivers 716.8 GB/s of bandwidth, which is more than sufficient for Barony’s demands. The memory runs at 1400 MHz with 22.4 Gbps effective speed. The GPU’s boost clock is 2505 MHz, and it packs 9728 shading units, 304 TMUs, and 112 ROPs. This hardware configuration places the RTX 4080 in the 86th percentile among all GPUs.

In benchmark terms, the RTX 4080’s average score of 54247 puts it ahead of the RTX 4080 SUPER by 0.1% and behind the AMD Radeon Pro W5700X by 1.1% and the AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB by 2.6%. The GPU’s PassMark G3D score of 34457 reinforces its top-tier status. The RTX 4080 is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture with a 5 nm process, and it supports DirectX 12 Ultimate, Vulkan 1.4, and OpenGL 4.6.

For Barony, the GPU’s role is to handle the rendering workload at high resolutions and settings. The measured FPS data shows that the RTX 4080 scales effectively across the resolution range. At 4K Ultra, it maintains an average of 91 FPS, which is respectable for a demanding setting. At 1080p Low, it reaches 600 average FPS, indicating the GPU is far from being the limiting factor at lower resolutions. The GPU’s 16 GB VRAM is ample for this game, and its clock speeds are high enough to sustain the frame rates seen in the data.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data covers three resolutions and four settings tiers, providing a complete picture of performance.

1080p Results:

• Low: 600 average FPS
• Medium: 446 average FPS, with a minimum of 379 and a maximum of 513
• High: 383 average FPS
• Ultra: 274 average FPS

At 1080p, the combo is clearly CPU-limited at Low settings, hitting 600 FPS. The progression from Low to Ultra shows a steady decline: 600 to 446 to 383 to 274. The jump from Low to Medium is a 154 FPS drop, while the jump from High to Ultra is a 109 FPS drop. This suggests the CPU is the bottleneck at Low, but the GPU begins to take over as settings increase.

1440p Results:

• Low: 379 average FPS
• Medium: 281 average FPS, with a minimum of 239 and a maximum of 324
• High: 242 average FPS
• Ultra: 173 average FPS

At 1440p, the pattern shifts. Low delivers 379 FPS, which is a 221 FPS drop from 1080p Low. Medium drops to 281, High to 242, and Ultra to 173. The decline from Low to Ultra is 206 FPS, with the largest single drop being 108 FPS from High to Ultra. The GPU is becoming more of a factor here, but the CPU still has headroom.

4K Results:

• Low: 198 average FPS
• Medium: 147 average FPS, with a minimum of 125 and a maximum of 169
• High: 126 average FPS
• Ultra: 91 average FPS

At 4K, the GPU is firmly in control. Low delivers 198 FPS, Medium 147, High 126, and Ultra 91. The total drop from Low to Ultra is 107 FPS, with the largest single drop being 51 FPS from Low to Medium. This is a classic GPU-bound scenario, where each settings tier has a significant but manageable impact on frame rate.

Resolution Scaling

The resolution scaling data reveals a clear transition from CPU-bound to GPU-bound behavior. At 1080p, the combo achieves 600 FPS on Low settings, which is an extraordinary number for any game. Dropping to 1440p Low reduces that to 379 FPS, a 36.8% decrease. At 4K Low, the average falls to 198 FPS, a further 47.8% decrease from 1440p. This scaling pattern indicates that at Low settings, the CPU is the limiting factor at 1080p, but the GPU becomes the constraint as resolution increases.

At High settings, the scaling is more moderate. 1080p High delivers 383 FPS, 1440p High drops to 242 FPS (a 36.8% decrease), and 4K High falls to 126 FPS (a 47.9% decrease from 1440p). The percentage drops are nearly identical to the Low settings, which is interesting because it suggests the GPU is still not fully saturated at High settings in 1080p.

At Ultra settings, the scaling is steeper. 1080p Ultra delivers 274 FPS, 1440p Ultra drops to 173 FPS (a 36.9% decrease), and 4K Ultra falls to 91 FPS (a 47.4% decrease from 1440p). The consistency of these percentage drops across settings tiers is notable. It suggests that the limiting component shifts predictably with resolution, and that the CPU’s influence is minimal once the GPU is under load.

The data shows that the CPU’s impact is most visible at 1080p Low, where 600 FPS is achieved. At 1440p and 4K, the GPU is the primary constraint, and the CPU’s mid-range standing has little effect on the results. For players targeting high refresh rates at 1080p, the combo is more than capable. For 4K gaming, the GPU is the deciding factor.

Settings Recommendations

For the best experience per the measured rows, the recommendation depends on the target resolution and refresh rate.

At 1080p, the data shows that High settings at 383 FPS is the sweet spot. Ultra drops to 274 FPS, which is still very high, but the 109 FPS difference between High and Ultra is significant. Medium delivers 446 FPS, but the visual quality difference between Medium and High is noticeable in a roguelike with detailed environments. The minimum FPS at Medium is 379, which is well above any refresh rate. High settings at 1080p provide the best balance of visual fidelity and raw frame rate.

At 1440p, High settings at 242 FPS is the recommended choice. Ultra drops to 173 FPS, which is still smooth, but the 69 FPS difference is meaningful. Medium delivers 281 FPS, but again, High offers better visuals with only a 39 FPS penalty. The minimum FPS at Medium is 239, which is still excellent. For 1440p, High is the clear winner.

At 4K, the choice is more nuanced. High settings at 126 FPS is excellent for a 4K display, and it is the recommended setting for most players. Ultra drops to 91 FPS, which is still playable but represents a 35 FPS loss for marginal visual gains. Medium delivers 147 FPS, but the step up to High is worth the 21 FPS cost. The minimum FPS at Medium is 125, which is the lowest recorded minimum across all settings, indicating that even at 4K, the combo maintains high frame rates.

For players with high-refresh-rate 1080p or 1440p monitors, High settings are the optimal choice. For 4K displays, High settings provide the best experience, with Ultra as an option for those who prioritize visual quality over frame rate. The data consistently shows that High settings offer the best compromise between performance and visual fidelity across all three resolutions.
