Nvidia RTX 5080 Review: Efficiency Gains, Performance Letdown

Ghost of Tsushima is a 2020 action-adventure game developed by Sucker Punch Productions and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment. The player controls Jin Sakai, a samurai on a quest to protect Tsushima Island during the first Mongol invasion of Japan.Ghost of Tsushima was released for the PlayStation 4 in July 2020, and an expanded version for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5, subtitled Director's Cut and featuring the Iki Island expansion, was released in August 2021. A Windows version of Director's Cut, developed by Nixxes Software, was released in May 2024. (Wikipedia).

Engine: Sucker Punch in-house engine. We test using the Very High preset, DX12 API.

Ghost of Tsushima is another well optimised title, but one that does scale very well on AMD GPUs – the 7900 XTX is again on par with the RTX 5080, despite launching over two years ago at a similar price.

At 4K, that picture doesn't really change. We can also see the 5080 coming in just 7% faster than the 4080 Super, a fairly unimpressive gain it has to be said.
