why does it say 24gb vram on 4080?

geforce now GPUs have more VRAM than the desktop 4080

Genuinely the most pointless upgrade.Lol, the biggest notable difference is the 50 % FPS loss.

that's on 3070 (ancient at this point lol)Lol, the biggest notable difference is the 50 % FPS loss.
it has relatively less performance impact on faster ray tracing and tensor cores
i find it quite playable so anything above 4080 should be able to enjoy it at 60+ fps anyways. of course this is for 4K. for 1440p, 4070 and 5070 should be enough

Playing the peasant version with no RT (PS5) lol and i finished the story last night. The last 3 chapters were great.
Overall id put this game below Eternal, but it was still good overall.

More like, many games so far were very different with PT - performance loss was justified in some cases (cyberpunk, Alan wake 2).
This game looks competent enough with normal RT and there is not much difference in graphics quality with PT, not enough to justify ~50% performance drop...

The RTX4090 is also ADA architecture, yet it outperforms my card to much greater degree compared to other games. Therefore, I believe that memory bandwidth plays the biggest role in Doom's path tracing performance.
However, I'm not saying that the newer architecture doesn't make a difference here as well, because Blackwell has architectural improvements that should affect PT games.
The difference is actually much more obvious if you see it for yourself.
Just ran the built in benchmarks and was surprised how good it looks and how bad the forrest map looks without PT

I guess I may as well be posting my result. I don't play at 4k. Prefer higher fps so this is 13900k at 1440p with a 4090 and max with path tracing on. Gonna have that 9800x3d in later today to test the results if any difference.

4k absolute maximum settings using dlaa without frame generation, Hebeth benchmark.
9800x3d 5090
5090 users, what are you guys getting?

Etc
I'm still playing through Stellar Blade so it'll be a bit before I get to this. I undervolt my 5090 so I'll be interested to see how it does (my undervolt technique still gets me slightly better than stock performance on average).
With that said, I definitely won't be playing at Native 4k DLAA w/ no FG lol. Probably 4K DLSS Quality w/ 2x FG.

2x frame generation was very obvious even on performance ie 1080p, as in I saw obvious negative frames or something. I'd have to do more messing around with it to be sure though as I only had a quick try.
I'm still playing elden ring nightreign, lies of P and the dlc on doom eternal so it will be a week or three.

no idea, what I know is that geforce now uses large GPUs with large memory pools. it's not an actual rtx 4080 anyways, it's a portion of a big GPU that give or take amounts to RTX 4080's performance

I just started playing this over the weekend. Got through about 6 Levels. Tried one today with path tracing enabled and it seemed to run fairly well. I had been playing at 4k with DLSS Quality (FG off) and basically turned on PT (including water) and it still seemed to generally be above 60fps in the level I played through (siege 2).
Tried the Hebeth benchmark like the others above with DLAA and it was pretty much the same 32 fps (24min) average.
Re-ran the benchmark with my previous 4k DLSS Quality settings (FG off) and it was avg. 63 (47min).
Quality FG2: 110 (90min)
Quality FG3: 157 (124min)
Quality FG4: 198 (158min)
Think I'll stick with quality, and maybe FG2…
5090 + 9950x3d (Just using the 3d cache cores for the game though via process lasso.)

Nobody has the hardware to take advantage unless you use Frame Gen which absopositively sucks with the input lag. This game begs to be played at high frame rates, and so seeing it in the 60-70fps range with DLSS AND Frame Gen is just... insane.
