What does this comparison mean?
The RTX 3080 10GB leads by 20 FPS, while the RX 7700 XT offers 12GB. For someone replacing a 3080, this is a trade between more memory and a lower result in this particular workload. The evidence does not establish a general gaming downgrade or upgrade; examine the application that motivates the change before paying for it.
RTX 3080 10GB has 10GB and RX 7700 XT 12GB has 12GB of graphics memory. Memory capacity, board dimensions, power connectors and the price of a particular used card are separate from this benchmark. Compare the exact item before deciding whether to upgrade.

How the figures are compared
Both FPS figures come from the owner-supplied GPUsed benchmark dataset. GPUsed reports a continuous FurMark run at 1080p for its physical-card checks. The percentage compares the higher model average with the lower one using the original FPS values. Our rating uses a compressed scale, with the fastest GPU at 100; it is separate from the percentage difference. A benchmark result does not predict gaming FPS.
GPUsed reports its physical-card checks typically last 30 to 60 minutes while temperature and stability are checked. The owner supplied the model-level FPS workbook on 2 October 2026; this benchmark dataset was last reconciled 3 October 2026. Historical cards tested are separate from the number of FPS runs behind a model average. Full benchmark method.
