Thief (2014)

Thief includes a built in benchmark and the numbers and screenshots shown here are based on this benchmark.

The FPS gain experienced when going from a Phenom 8350 to a Ryzen 1700X is quite significant even though the GPU set up is the same. Overall, it is a smooth increase in FPS over the hardware generations.

At 8K resolution and the highest image quality preset we get barely playable FPS with an RTX 3090. Dropping the image quality to the minimum level available yields a healthy boost.

Below is an image quality comparison between the highest and lowest presets at 8K – The difference is quite significant. Since we get 71 FPS at the lowest image quality there is plenty of room to tweak the settings to one’s liking and maintain a healthy average FPS at 8K.
