The new NVIDIA RTX 3080 has double the number of CUDA cores, but is there a 2x performance gain?

The NVIDIA GPU release cycle is about two years: the RTX 2080 Ti was announced back in August 2018, with 4,352 CUDA cores, 1.2 times more cores than the previous generation GTX 1080 Ti, and it has exactly twice the performance for password recovery.

When NVIDIA announced the new 3000 series of GPUs in September, our minds were blown away: the RTX 3080 had 8,704 CUDA cores, a 2x increase compared to the RTX 2080 Ti, at a lower price point.




We were anxious to run Passware Kit Forensic benchmarks to see if we could see a 2x gain in performance compared to the 2000 series. However, the benchmark results showed a mere 6% increase in performance compared to 2080Ti, and we initially thought that there must be a software glitch.

Unfortunately, a software issue was not the cause.
