NVIDIA Shares RTX 4090 Overwatch 2 Performance Numbers
Rather than another leak of performance numbers for NVIDIA's upcoming RTX 4090 and 4080 cards, the company has shared some performance numbers of their upcoming cards in Overwatch 2. According to NVIDIA, Blizzard had to increase the framerate cap in Overwatch 2 to 600 FPS, as the new cards from NVIDIA were simply too fast for the previous 400 FPS framerate cap. NVIDIA also claims that with Reflex enabled, system latency will be reduced by up to 60 percent.
As for the performance numbers, the RTX 4090 managed to 507 FPS at 1440p in Overwatch 2, using an Intel Core i9-12900K CPU, at the Ultra graphics quality setting. The RTX 4080 16 GB manages 368 FPS, with the RTX 4080 12 GB coming in at 296 FPS. The comparison to the previous generation cards is seemingly a bit unfair, as the highest-end comparison we get is an unspecified RTX 3080 that managed to push 249 FPS. This is followed by an RTX 3070 at 195 FPS and an RTX 3060 at 122 FPS. NVIDIA recommends an RTX 4080 16 GB if you want to play Overwatch 2 at 1440p 360 FPS+ and an RTX 3080 Ti at 1080p 360 FPS+.

Edit: oh! even the 3080ti is not included.
Heck the 3090 was only 47% faster overall than even just a 3060 ti at 1440p. tpucdn.com/review/nvidia-geforce-rtx-3060-ti-founders-edition/images/relative-performance_2560-1440.png
Nvidia now: "4080 is 1.2X Faster than 3080".
Maybe they should have said "4080 is 1-4X Faster than 3080Ti"
But I'm sure that's OK in eyes of fanboys, since they will lock DLSS 3.0 to Ada exclusively, although there is no hardware reason to do so...
Why do I need 500fps?
The price of the RTX 4000 series look even more ridiculous.
How much do you think one of those bad boys would cost too?
