Nvidia RTX 3080: PCIe 4.0 vs 3.0 scaling analysis

Far Cry New Dawn is an action-adventure first-person shooter developed by Ubisoft Montreal and published by Ubisoft. The game is a spin-off of the Far Cry series and a narrative sequel to Far Cry 5. It was released for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on February 15, 2019. (Wikipedia).

Engine: Dunia 2. We test using the Ultra preset, with the HD Textures pack, DX11 API.

Far Cry New Dawn is the perfect example of a game that doesn't give a toss about PCIe 4.0, instead the CPU is very much the bottleneck here. At 1080p, our Intel system is 21% faster than either AMD system, with PCIe 4.0 making no difference at all.

As we step up to 1440p, Intel is still 16% faster than either of the 3900XT test rigs, and even at 4K performance is best on Team Blue to the tune of 5%.
