3DMark05 has always been a very CPU bound benchmark. Even at 4K there is going from an RTX 2080 to an RTX 3090 makes no difference with a 3700X CPU. This is quite interesting when compared to 3DMark03 where you see a significant jump in performance.
At 8K though, the RTX 3090 system performs 87% better with the RTX 2080 system. Yes, there is something magical about testing older benchmark at 8K resolution! Speaking of which, check out some 8K 3DMark05 screenshots below:
