The Nvidia RTX 5080 cannot match up to the raw processing of a RTX 5080, but with multi frame gen it's a card you can't ignore.

I spent a week extensively testing the RTX 5080, and overall it's the best premium graphics card for most people you can get right now.

The RTX 5080 Founders Edition uses the same lovely shroud as the top RTX Blackwell card, and brings the same DLSS/MFG feature set to the table. But that's all that is really setting the second-tier card apart from the RTX 4080 Super as the gen-on-gen performance difference is marginal at best.

The NVIDIA RTX 5090 is the most powerful consumer GPU ever made, but its $2,000 price tag makes it a luxury for only the most demanding users.

Nvidia has provided some new benchmarks for RTX 5000 graphics cards Two of them don’t involve DLSS 4 and Multi Frame Generation However, the gen-on-gen uplifts shown here are modest – but we still shouldn’t get carried away Nvidia has released some more game benchmarks for its next-gen Blackwell GPUs,

Nvidia’s RTX 50-series GPUs are just around the corner, with the first releases — the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 — dropping on January 30th. The RTX 5070 Ti and RTX 5070 will follow that with their own releases in February, but some are already getting a sneak peek at the software benefits of the GPUs through DLSS 4.

GPU maker NVIDIA has warned consumers that the stock of its forthcoming RTX 5090 and 5080 cards will be limited. Some gamers are even camping out to get one.

Some gamers are already camping out during one of the coldest times in the year to get their hands on a $2,000 graphics card.

Nvidia followed up the most powerful GPU it’s ever made, the RTX 5090, with this — the RTX 5080. It’s half the price, and it offers around 70% of the performance. That should be a good thing, but the RTX 5080 falls short when compared to Nvidia’s last-gen offerings that still rank among the best graphics cards.
