The GeForce RTX 5080 Handles Any Game in 4K

As the second-highest tier Blackwell GPU, the RTX 5080 trails only the premium $2,000 RTX 5090. It outperforms the previous-gen RTX 4080 Super by approximately 5–10%, which has now been discontinued. In titles that support DLSS 4 with multi-frame generation—exclusive to Blackwell GPUs—the performance advantage becomes even more pronounced.

Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 FE Review, by Jacqueline Thomas: “If you already own a high-end graphics card from the past couple of years, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 may not offer enough of a leap to justify an upgrade—it doesn’t significantly outperform the RTX 4080, although DLSS 4’s multi-frame generation does enhance visual quality in supported games. However, for gamers using older hardware looking for a substantial performance boost, especially if they’re open to leveraging Nvidia’s AI-powered features, the RTX 5080 is definitely worth considering.”
