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

The RTX 5080 stands as the second most powerful Blackwell graphics card, only surpassed by the $2,000 RTX 5090. In our Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 FE review, Jackie noted, "If you already have a high-end graphics card from the last couple of years, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 doesn’t offer a substantial performance advantage over the RTX 4080. However, the extra frames from DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation enhance the visual experience in supported games. For gamers looking to upgrade from older graphics cards, the RTX 5080 delivers a significant performance boost, especially if you're keen on Nvidia's AI enhancements."
