The GeForce RTX 5080 GPU will run any game in 4K

The RTX 5080 stands as the second best in Nvidia's Blackwell series, only outshone by the pricier RTX 5090. It's approximately 5%-10% more powerful than the now-discontinued RTX 4080 Super. With support for the new DLSS 4 featuring multi-frame generation, exclusive to Blackwell cards, the RTX 5080 provides a significant performance boost in compatible games.

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."
