We later learned it uses DLSS 4’s AI-powered multi frame generation to achieve that in supported titles, but that’s a welcome compromise for those who can’t find room in their budget for the beefier 4K-ready GPUs — including the $999.

Nvidia followed up the most powerful GPU it’s ever made, the RTX 5090, with this — the RTX 5080. It’s half the price, and it offers around 70% of the performance. That should be a good thing, but the RTX 5080 falls short when compared to Nvidia’s last-gen offerings that still rank among the best graphics cards.

Don't overreact just yet, but an early review hints at the RTX 5080 potentially making only slight performance jumps over the RTX 4080 Super.

We reveal the RTX 5080 benchmarks, as we test the new gaming GPU in the latest games, including DLSS 4 and Multi Frame Gen results.

Nvidia’s new RTX 5080 graphics card isn’t as exciting as I was hoping it would be. While the sleek new Founders Edition redesign dramatically shrinks the size of the card compared to the RTX 4080 and RTX 4080 Super,

At a glance Expert's Rating Pros ・DLSS Multi Frame Generation is a game-changer in compatible titles, driving snappy new levels of smoothness by increasing frame rates fourfold, tightly paced. ・Great 4K and 1440p performance ・Tightly engineered Founders Edition model somehow squeezes into a fairly quiet two-slot design Cons ・Very small performance
