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

The RTX 5080 is the second most powerful Blackwell graphics card, only surpassed by the $2,000 RTX 5090. It's approximately 5%-10% faster than its predecessor, the RTX 4080 Super, which is now discontinued. The RTX 5080 excels in games that support 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."
