Here we test Resident Evil Village, this time testing with the in-game ray tracing effects set to High. DLSS/FSR are disabled.

Resident Evil Village is relatively light on its ray tracing features, so frame rates are still very high for the RTX 4080 – at 1440p it can average over 200FPS, making it 24% faster than the RTX 3090 Ti.

A 4K/144Hz experience is also viable with the 4080, though once again the card is a clear step-down from the RTX 4090, as the AD103 GPU comes in 28% slower.
