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

The RTX 5080 stands as the second-best Blackwell graphics card, only outclassed by the RTX 5090, which retails at $2,000. It outperforms the now-discontinued RTX 4080 Super by about 5%-10%. In games utilizing the new DLSS 4 with multi-frame generation, exclusive to Blackwell cards, the performance difference is even more pronounced.

Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 FE Review, by Jacqueline Thomas

"If you already own a high-end graphics card from recent years, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 might not offer a significant enough upgrade – its performance lead over the RTX 4080 is marginal, though the enhanced frames from DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation do enhance the visual experience in supported games. However, for gamers upgrading from older graphics cards seeking a substantial performance boost, the RTX 5080 is a compelling choice, especially if you're keen on Nvidia's AI enhancements."
