Top 10 GPUs Ranked by Heaven Benchmark Scores in 2024

One thing that we can appreciate is the greatness of the current generation’s exceptional GPUs’. It was unimaginable to even think that some GPUs can score as high as 15,000 easily in Heaven Benchmark stress-testing!

With that being said, we think you should get a taste of which PC builds are getting huge scores in Heaven Benchmark. Let’s look at the world records held by different users with their awesome GPUs!

Top 10 GPUs Ranked by Heaven Benchmark [as of September 2024]

Here are the top 10 ranked PCs spotted on Heaven Benchmark to date! Keep in mind that not every data about the specific presets used or hardware was available on these PCs. However, all of these were run on the DirectX11 tool.

The methodology of these GPUs remains unspecified, unfortunately. Our only focus is to learn more about the scores of each different GPU and their overall builds.

So, let’s get going!

1.   GeForce RTX 4090

Out of the 10 top GPU scores available on the Heaven Benchmark, 6 positions have been taken by RTX 4090 and we can guess why that is. It is the most advanced and powerful GPU available from the house green, Nvidia.

Here are the top users with an RTX 4090 GPU and their respective details.

GeForce RTX 4090 on Rauf’s Unigine Heaven [Score: 16175.56]

Obviously enough, RTX 4090 tops the GPU benchmark in Unigine’s Heaven as it is a behemoth of a GPU. However, to make it the world’s 1 ranking, the build had some great specifications! 

As RTX 4090 is put together with the monstrous intel i9 13th gen, this build was bound to top the list with a score of a whopping 16175.56!

The PC Build

• CPU: Intel Core i9 13900K 'Raptor Lake-S' (7,800MHz)
• GPU: GeForce RTX 4090 (AD102) NVIDIA
• Motherboard: ROG Maximus Z790 Apex
• PSU: 1,200 Watt ROG THOR

GeForce RTX 4090 on Dragon Soop`s Unigine Heaven [Score: 14427.52]

With the last anomaly out of the way, RTX 4090 again makes a well-deserved comeback! This build also includes the overly powerful Intel Core i9 13th Gen with an insane 2000-watt PSU!

The PC Build

• CPU: Intel Core i9 13900K 'Raptor Lake-S' (7,000MHz)
• GPU: GeForce RTX 4090 (AD102) NVIDIA
• Motherboard: MEG Z690 Unify-X (MS-7D28)
• PSU: 2,000 Watt Super Flower

GeForce RTX 4090 on Aurosonic`s Unigine Heaven [Score: 13219.2]

We all know how powerful RTX 4090 is already, right? Combine it with ROG Maximus Apex motherboard and Intel 13900KS and the score goes beyond the 13200 mark!

We surely believe that using an RTX 4090 is just an overkill that’s hard to beat by any GPU at this point.

The PC Build

• CPU: Intel Core i9 13900KS 'Raptor Lake-S' (6,252MHz)
• GPU: GeForce RTX 4090 (AD102) NVIDIA
• Motherboard: ROG Maximus Z790 Apex
• PSU: 1,500 Watt CORSAIR AX series

GeForce RTX 4090 on Greebo-T-C`s Unigine Heaven [Score: 13151.92]

While the previous build and this bad boy from Greebo are mostly the same, the scores are different. The only possible explanation can lie inside the presets, controlled conditions, and other external factors.

Or it can be caused by hardware differences. However, it’s safe to say that both builds are quite insane to begin with!

The PC Build

• CPU: Intel Core i9 13900KS 'Raptor Lake-S' (6,300MHz)
• GPU: GeForce RTX 4090 (AD102) NVIDIA
• Motherboard: ROG Maximus Z790 Apex

2.   GeForce RTX 4080

GeForce RTX 4080 on Traktor’s Unigine Heaven [Score: 13089.98]

RTX 4080 has definitely gathered some love from the Nvidia community because of its performance and reasonable price. However, the score largely depends on the overall build and that’s where this card falls a bit flat on Traktor’s Unigine Heaven.

The PC Build

• CPU: Intel Core i9 13900 KF 'Raptor Lake-S' (6,200MHz)
• GPU: GeForce RTX 4080 (AD103) NVIDIA

While the other information about this particular build was unavailable, we can guess that it definitely had a beefy motherboard and at least 32GB RAM. Otherwise, it’s really tough to get this spot with just an RTX 4080 GPU.

GeForce RTX 4080 on Kindachi’s Unigine Heaven [Score: 11993.13]

Another banger of Heaven Benchmark score achieved by one of the strongest GPUs available right now on the market! RTX 4080 is surely a powerhouse of a card that is able to deliver great performance at a lower price than RTX 4090.

The PC Build

• CPU: Intel Core i9 13900KS 'Raptor Lake-S' (4,600MHz)
• GPU: GeForce RTX 4090 (AD102) NVIDIA
• Motherboard: ROG Maximus Z790 Apex
• Memory: Trident Z5 RGB 48 GB DDR5 SDRAM

3.   GeForce RTX 3090 Ti

GeForce RTX 3090 Ti on spit051261`s Unigine Heaven [Score: 14946.71]

A surprising entry with the last-gen model! RTX 3090Ti is surely a force to be reckoned with. Gathering a total score of 14946.71, the RTX 3090Ti shows how old generation GPUs are still great value for money.

If you consider current market pricing, then this offers a great price-to-performance ratio!

The PC Build

• CPU: Intel Core i9 13900KS 'Raptor Lake-S' (7,300MHz)
• GPU: GeForce RTX 3090 Ti (GA102) NVIDIA

GeForce RTX 3090 on Barnassters’s Unigine Heaven [Score: 11828.95]

Compared to the RTX 3090Ti, the base RTX 3090 is definitely a step down but not that it performs poorly. It can still provide a solid performance if you pair it up with a great CPU such as Intel Core i9 13th Gen! However, having a lower clock speed on the CPU can take a hit on the overall score marked on Heaven.

The PC Build

• CPU: Intel Core i9 13900S 'Raptor Lake-S' (3,000MHz)
• GPU: GeForce RTX 3090 (GA102) NVIDIA
• Memory: G.SKILL DDR5 SDRAM

4.   NVIDIA RTX A6000

NVIDIA RTX A6000 on TriOx.SGI`s Unigine Heaven [Score: 13108.33]

We all know about the RTX 40, and 30 series but some prefer to use the A6000 too! With RTX A6000, this build has made a shocking entry in the top 10 Heaven benchmark list. 

RTX A6000 is made for visual computing so it’s no wonder it can achieve more than 13000 scores on Heaven Benchmark, pushing past RTX 4080 or AMD RX 7900 XTX!

The PC Build

• CPU: Intel Core i9 13900 KS 'Raptor Lake-S' (6,400MHz)
• GPU: RTX A6000 (GA102) NVIDIA
• Motherboard: GIGABYTE Z690 Aorus Tachyon

5.   NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti on AKM`s Unigine Heaven [Score: 14075.07]

Another surprise entry that made the top five list is the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti. Launched five years ago, some RTX 2080 Ti, accompanied with insane CPU performance has broken past the current 40 series!

However, this system runs on two 2080Ti cards that’s why the insane score was possible.

The PC Build

• CPU: Intel Core i9 12900K 'Alder Lake-S' (7,000MHz)
• GPU: 2xGeForce RTX 2080 Ti (TU102) NVIDIA
• Motherboard: Z690 Aqua OC

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti on Berhof007’s Unigine Heaven [Score: 11583.55]

You must be thinking, why is this PC build scored almost 2500 less than our earlier pick? Well, we think you can already guess the reason as this build only hosts a single RTX 2080Ti and for a single GPU PC, it sure delivers a surprising power!

The PC Build

• CPU: Intel Core i9 14900KF 'Raptor Lake-R' (6,100MHz)
• GPU: GeForce RTX 2080 Ti (TU102) NVIDIA

6.   AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX

AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX on True Monkey`s Unigine Heaven [Score: 12964.59]

From the famous house of AMD, Radeon finally makes its appearance on our top 10 list of GPUs. While we know how powerful RX 7900 XTX can be, it fell short of all the great Nvidia GPUs for sub-optimal water cooling. 

Still, it had a great run for one of the top spots in the Heaven Benchmark scoreboard.

The PC Build

• CPU: Intel Core i9 14900K 'Raptor Lake-R' (6,600MHz)
• GPU: Radeon RX 7900 XTX (Navi 31) AMD

AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX on Falken's Unigine Heaven [Score: 11665.89]

Getting a close score like our last RX 7900 XTX card, Falken’s PC has some flaws that make it score a bit less. Having the last generation’s CPU is a contributing factor. Furthermore, the clock speed is not boosted, thus, getting an overall low score on Heaven while stress testing.

The PC Build

• CPU: Intel Core i9 13900KF 'Raptor Lake-S' (3,000MHz)
• GPU: Radeon RX 7900 XTX (Navi 31) AMD

7.   NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti on Dreadzone’s Unigine Heaven [Score: 12742.69]

Again, with a shocking entry of last generation’s card in our top 10 list, the Nvidia RTX 3080Ti makes its name heard. 

We already know it’s a flagship-grade GPU from last year but what made this particular build stand out even more is the incredible hardware that supported the GPU.

The PC Build

• CPU: Intel Core i9 13900KS 'Raptor Lake-S' (6,400MHz)
• GPU: GeForce RTX 3080 Ti (320 bit) (GA102) NVIDIA
• Motherboard: ROG Maximus Z790 Apex
• Memory: G.SKILL Trident Z5 Neo 32GB

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti on Aristidis’s Unigine Heaven [Score: 12596.33]

The PC Build

• CPU: Intel Core i9 14900KF 'Raptor Lake-R' (6,000MHz)
• GPU: GeForce RTX 3080 Ti (384 bit) (GA102) NVIDIA
• Motherboard: ROG Maximus Z790 Apex Encore

8.   NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti on Bl4ckdot`s Unigine Heaven [Score: 11683.44]

One of the most underwhelming releases from the current generation’s RTX 40 series was definitely the RTX 4070 GPU. However, the RTX 4070 Ti still managed to get a spot because of its re-release with an overclocked version disguised as the Ti model.

The PC Build

• CPU: Intel Core i9 14900K 'Raptor Lake-R' (6,000MHz)
• GPU: GeForce RTX 4070 Ti (AD104) NVIDIA

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti on Dejo’s Unigine Heaven [Score: 10921.66]

A more disappointing entry compared to our last pick. Scoring only 10921, RTX 4070 hardly fails to disappoint us! Well, we can consider the lower score as it is not the Ti model of the RTX 4070.

The PC Build

• CPU: Intel Core i7 13700K 'Raptor Lake-S' (5,800MHz)
• GPU: GeForce RTX 4070 (AD104) NVIDIA

9.   AMD Radeon R9 Fury X
