God of War is an action-adventure game developed by Santa Monica Studio and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE). It was released worldwide on April 20, 2018, for the PlayStation 4 with a Microsoft Windows version released on January 14, 2022. (Wikipedia).

Engine: Sony Santa Monica Proprietary. We test using the Ultra preset, DX11 API.

Next is God of War, another one with slightly odd 1% low performance at 1440p, but the RTX 4080 is still delivering 154FPS on average, second only to the RTX 4090.

At 4K, the 1% lows are much more stable, and the RTX 4080 delivers just shy of 100FPS. It's 15% faster than the RTX 3090 Ti, and it's also miles ahead of AMD's closest challenger – that is, until the RX 7000 series launches next month.
