GeForce RTX 5080 Performance
The RTX 5080 stands as the second-best Blackwell graphics card, just behind the $2,000 RTX 5090. It offers a performance boost of about 5%-10% over the RTX 4080 Super, which is no longer available. With the new DLSS 4 featuring multi-frame generation, exclusive to Blackwell cards, the performance gap becomes even more significant.
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 offer a significant enough performance lead over the RTX 4080. However, the added frames from DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation enhance the gaming experience in supported titles. For gamers with older graphics cards, the RTX 5080 delivers a substantial performance boost, especially if you're keen on Nvidia’s AI enhancements."
