GeForce RTX 4080 | Lord of the Rings: Gollum | 1440p, 4K | RT, DLSS, FG

In this video we’ll be benchmarking the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 in The Lord of the Rings: Gollum. We’ll be testing at 1440p and 4K resolutions, and we’ll be testing with DLSS, ray tracing and frame generation.

Gollum was actually on of the games I was looking forward to, but after only spending about an hour with the game I decided to refund it. The performance issues are only part of the problem though.
