There are too many variables. I barely paid over $1500 for my R10, while some people pay thousands, because there are too many processor-GPU combinations.

Your best bet is to look at UserBenchmark for numbers/comparisons:

Indeed, I agree 100 percent.

 

But, just for fun and to give some basic frame of comparison (there has to be a zero base line to go up from), here is my R9's Time Spy results to respond to the opening poster's quire...

Oopsie...that was before the RAM upgrade from 32 GB @ 2933 of oem Dell Kingston to 64 GB of Crucial Ballistix @ 3200 with better timings.

Lets see the variance in benchmark in the same machine after that upgrade...

Yes to the first question and I suppose because it reports what is present not necessarily what is being used for the second question.

I'm scoring about 16800 Graphics score with a Dell 3080, and 9300 CPU with a 3700X on a corsair H60, with a single 16gb stick of 3466 RAM.

Very good score and seems to fall nearly in the ranges of ones I can find online. 

 

I was worried dell may have handicapped their 3080 with their cooling solution but it don't seem so.

Yeah, it runs strong.  

If you haven't purchased yet, ensure you get a water-cooled CPU setup.  The 3700X air-cooled was absolutely garbage, ran 95C when running any programs beyond the desktop, scored 8100 on Timespy, and had SCREAMING fans, even at idle when they would buzz up and down.  Adding the H60 has increased the TimeSpy score to 9300, dropped temps by 25-30 degrees, and lowered the fan volume by a huge amount (also, addition of ML-120 Pro fans instead of the junk Dell ships).
