The RTX 5080: Ready for 4K Gaming

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 is the second-fastest GPU in the Blackwell lineup, just behind the $2,000 RTX 5090. It offers a 5%-10% performance boost over the discontinued RTX 4080 Super. In games supporting DLSS 4 with Multi-Frame Generation—a feature exclusive to Blackwell GPUs—the performance gap widens significantly, delivering smoother frame rates and enhanced visual fidelity.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 FE Review, by Jacqueline Thomas
"If you already own a high-end GPU from the past few years, upgrading to the RTX 5080 may not be worth it—its raw performance gain over the RTX 4080 is modest. However, the added fluidity from DLSS 4’s Multi-Frame Generation improves gameplay in supported titles. For gamers still using older hardware, the RTX 5080 delivers a massive leap in performance, especially if you're invested in NVIDIA’s AI-driven features."
