The GeForce RTX 5080 GPU Will Run Any Game in 4K

The RTX 5080 stands as the second-best Blackwell graphics card, just behind the RTX 5090, which retails at $2,000. It outperforms the discontinued RTX 4080 Super by about 5%-10%.

Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 FE Review, by Jacqueline Thomas

"If you already have a high-end graphics card from the last couple of years, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 might not be a compelling upgrade – its performance lead over the RTX 4080 is marginal, though DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation does enhance visuals in supported games. However, for gamers with older graphics cards looking for a substantial performance boost, the RTX 5080 is a solid choice, especially if you appreciate Nvidia’s AI enhancements."
