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

The RTX 5080 stands as the second most powerful Blackwell graphics card, only outdone by the $2,000 RTX 5090. It's approximately 5%-10% more efficient than its predecessor, the RTX 4080 Super, which is no longer in production. The RTX 5080 truly shines in games utilizing the new DLSS 4 with multi-frame generation, a feature exclusive to Blackwell cards, which significantly boosts performance.

Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 FE Review, by Jacqueline Thomas

"If you're already equipped with a high-end graphics card from the last few years, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 might not be the upgrade you need – its performance gain over the RTX 4080 is minimal, though DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation does enhance supported games. However, for gamers with older cards seeking a substantial performance upgrade, the RTX 5080 delivers, especially if you're keen on leveraging Nvidia's AI enhancements."
