GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture using a 5 nm process. It features 10,240 shading units, 320 texture mapping units, and 112 ROPs, with 80 RT cores and 320 tensor cores. The GPU supports DirectX 12 Ultimate, OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. Its base clock is 2295 MHz, boosting to 2550 MHz. Memory is 16 GB of GDDR6X on a 256-bit bus, with an effective speed of 23 Gbps and a bandwidth of 736.3 GB/s. The pixel rate is 285.6 GPixel/s, texture rate is 816.0 GTexel/s, and FP32 performance reaches 52.22 TFLOPS. The GPU has a TDP of 320 W, requires a 700 W suggested PSU, and uses a 1x 16-pin power connector. Its dimensions are 310 mm in length, 140 mm in height, and 61 mm in width, occupying a triple-slot form factor.

In Road 96, these specifications translate to high frame rates even at 4K. The measured FPS at 4K Ultra is 57.9, while at 4K Low it reaches 119.8. The large VRAM and high bandwidth allow the game to load high-resolution textures without bottlenecking. The boost clock of 2550 MHz contributes to the GPU's ability to maintain high clocks under load. The GPU's average benchmark score is 53,610, placing it in the 88th percentile. Its nearest rival, the AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT, scores 53,489, a delta of 0.2% – essentially identical. The RTX 4080 SUPER also leads the AMD Radeon Pro W6600M by 0.4% and the AMD Radeon RX 7700S by 2.1%, while trailing the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti by 2.9% (though that rival has a lower score, the delta is positive, meaning the 4080 SUPER is 2.9% faster). These synthetic results align with the game's measured performance, where the GPU is clearly capable of driving high refresh rates at 1080p and 1440p.

The CPU, the AMD Ryzen 7 7700, is a Zen 4 (Raphael) part on the AMD Socket AM5. It has 8 cores and 16 threads, with a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 5.30 GHz. The TDP is 65 W, and it supports DDR5 memory in a dual-channel configuration with a bandwidth of 83.2 GB/s. The CPU includes 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 32 MB of shared L3 cache. It has integrated Radeon Graphics and supports PCIe Gen 5 with 24 lanes. The CPU's launch MSRP is $329, and the GPU's launch MSRP is 999 USD. The CPU's average benchmark score is 40,468, placing it in the 91st percentile.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the Ryzen 7 7700 and RTX 4080 SUPER achieves a rank of 112 out of 1,684 tested combos in Road 96. This places it in the top tier of systems. The CPU itself is in the 91st percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 40,468. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 9 7940H (score 40,431, delta 0.1%), the AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 (40,262, delta 0.5%), the Intel Core i9-13905H (40,712, delta -0.6%), and the Intel Core Ultra 5 235T (39,995, delta 1.2%). The CPU's performance is thus within a narrow band of these competitors, with the i9-13905H slightly ahead and the Core Ultra 5 235T slightly behind.

The GPU, as noted, is in the 88th percentile with an average score of 53,610. Its nearest rivals are the RX 6900 XT (53,489, delta 0.2%), the Radeon Pro W6600M (53,414, delta 0.4%), the RX 7700S (52,505, delta 2.1%), and the RTX 5070 Ti (52,086, delta 2.9%). The RTX 4080 SUPER leads all of these rivals, with the largest margin over the RTX 5070 Ti at 2.9%. This indicates that the GPU is a strong performer relative to its peers, and the CPU is similarly well-positioned. The combo's high rank in Road 96 reflects the balanced nature of the pairing, where neither component is a significant bottleneck in synthetic tests.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The following table lists the measured average FPS for each resolution and settings combination:

| Resolution | Settings | Avg FPS |

|------------|----------|---------|

| 3840x2160 | High | 70.3 |

| 3840x2160 | Low | 119.8 |

| 3840x2160 | Medium | 86.2 |

| 3840x2160 | Ultra | 57.9 |

| 2560x1440 | High | 134 |

| 2560x1440 | Low | 224.9 |

| 2560x1440 | Medium | 167.1 |

| 2560x1440 | Ultra | 103.3 |

| 1920x1080 | High | 205.8 |

| 1920x1080 | Low | 352.3 |

| 1920x1080 | Medium | 255.7 |

| 1920x1080 | Ultra | 164.9 |

At 1080p, even the Ultra preset delivers 164.9 FPS, which is well above the refresh rate of most monitors. The Low preset reaches 352.3 FPS, indicating that the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU at very high frame rates. At 1440p, the Ultra preset drops to 103.3 FPS, still smooth for high-refresh displays. The 4K results show a more demanding scenario: Ultra averages 57.9 FPS, which is near the 60 FPS threshold, while Low reaches 119.8 FPS. The spread between Low and Ultra at each resolution is substantial – at 1080p, the gap is large, and at 4K, the Ultra preset is less than half of the Low preset's frame rate. This pattern holds across all resolutions, with Ultra consistently producing the lowest FPS and Low the highest.

The data shows that the RTX 4080 SUPER is the primary driver of frame rate, as increasing settings from Low to Ultra reduces FPS significantly at all resolutions. The CPU's role is less pronounced, as even at 1080p Low the system exceeds 350 FPS, suggesting the CPU is not a limiting factor in this title. The measured FPS values are consistent with the GPU's high bandwidth and shading power, which are well-suited to the game's visual demands.

Resolution Scaling

Examining the FPS across resolutions for each setting reveals how the system scales. For High settings, the average FPS is 205.8 at 1080p, 134 at 1440p, and 70.3 at 4K. The 1440p result is lower than the 1080p result, and the 4K result is lower still. This pattern indicates that the GPU is the limiting component as resolution increases, because the CPU's performance is constant across resolutions. For Low settings, the FPS values are 352.3 at 1080p, 224.9 at 1440p, and 119.8 at 4K. The relative drop from 1080p to 4K is more than half, but the absolute values remain high, with 4K Low still achieving 119.8 FPS. This suggests that the GPU has ample headroom when graphical load is reduced.

The scaling from Medium to High to Ultra shows a consistent decrease at each resolution. At 1080p, Medium yields 255.7 FPS, High 205.8, and Ultra 164.9. At 1440p, the values are 167.1, 134, and 103.3 respectively. At 4K, they are 86.2, 70.3, and 57.9. The gap between Medium and Ultra narrows as resolution increases, but the overall trend is clear: higher resolutions and higher settings both reduce FPS. The resolution scaling analysis points to a GPU-bound scenario at higher resolutions and settings. The CPU's 8 cores and 16 threads, with a boost clock of 5.30 GHz, are sufficient to maintain high frame rates even at 1080p Low, where the system reaches 352.3 FPS. As the resolution increases, the GPU's workload grows, and the FPS drops accordingly. This is typical for a modern adventure game, where the GPU's fill rate and memory bandwidth become the deciding factors. The measured data confirms that the RTX 4080 SUPER is the performance limiter in this configuration, while the Ryzen 7 7700 provides ample headroom for the game's CPU demands.
