The GeForce RTX 5080 GPU will run any game in 4K
The RTX 5080 stands as the second most powerful Blackwell graphics card, just behind the RTX 5090, which retails at $2,000. It offers a performance increase of 5%-10% over the now-discontinued RTX 4080 Super. The true advantage of the RTX 5080 shines in games that utilize 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."
