RTX 5080 Benchmarks Show 40-55 FPS in 4K Ultra Gaming Tests

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 shows solid frame rates in early benchmarks for upcoming Unreal Engine 5 titles, which matters for buyers planning high-end gaming setups. Early testing in closed beta environments reveals how the card handles demanding graphical features like Lumen and Mega Shadows. These results give gamers a preview of performance before the official launch window arrives.

Early closed beta results show solid frame rates in demanding Unreal Engine 5 titles

The GeForce RTX 5080 is the specific GPU model being tested in these early performance runs. Benchmarks were conducted using the closed beta version of Gears of War: E-Day and the full release of Halo: Campaign Evolved. Both titles utilize advanced rendering technologies that stress modern graphics hardware.

• Gears of War: E-Day FPS (4K Ultra): 40-50 FPS
• Halo: Campaign Evolved FPS (4K Ultra): 51-55 FPS
• Gears of War: E-Day Release Date: October 6
• Gears of War: E-Day Open Beta Date: August 6

Performance data from the closed beta shows the RTX 5080 achieving 40 to 50 frames per second in Gears of War: E-Day at 4K Ultra settings. In Halo: Campaign Evolved, which uses Unreal Engine 5, the card recorded 51 to 55 FPS at the same resolution and quality level. These figures represent raw performance metrics observed during early testing phases.

Microsoft plans to release Gears of War: E-Day on October 6, with an open beta starting on August 6 for all PC gamers. It remains unclear whether the 4K resolution in the Gears of War test was native or utilized DLSS technology. We touched on Gears of War in our earlier Nvidia coverage while tracking related hardware developments.

Confirmed performance data places the RTX 5080 in the 40-55 FPS range for these specific 4K Ultra scenarios. The card supports features like DLSS 4.5 for day one on compatible titles. These benchmarks provide a baseline for expected performance in next-generation Unreal Engine games.
