Using the average frame rate data presented on the previous page, here we look at the cost per frame using the UK MSRP launch prices for each GPU.

There's no doubt about it, RTX 3080 is pushing the boundaries in the way gamers want to see with every new generation. Cost per frame has been reduced by 48% relative to the RTX 2080, and even by 25% compared to one of Turing's better value GPUs, the 2070 Super. Finally, the relative value this GPU provides against the RTX 2080 Ti is laughable – each frame is 55% cheaper.
