This price point makes it an attractive option for gamers looking for a high-performance system capable of handling 4K gaming at high frame rates.

The GeForce RTX 5080 GPU will run any game in 4K

The RTX 5080 is the second most powerful GPU in the Blackwell series, only outdone by the $2,000 RTX 5090. It offers a performance boost of about 5%-10% over the now-discontinued RTX 4080 Super. The advantage becomes even more pronounced in games supporting the new DLSS 4 with multi-frame generation, a feature exclusive to Blackwell cards.

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 doesn’t make a lot of sense – it just doesn’t have much of a performance lead over the RTX 4080, though the extra frames from DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation do make things look better in games that support it. However, for gamers with an older graphics card who want a significant performance boost, the RTX 5080 absolutely provides – doubly so if you’re comfortable with Nvidia’s AI goodies."
