Nvidia RTX 5080 review: it’s slower than the 4090
- Nvidia's RTX 5080 graphics card falls well short of the previous RTX 4090 flagship, offering only 70% of its performance for the same $1,000 price tag.
- The RTX 5080 is based on Nvidia's Blackwell architecture and features an increased power draw and 16GB of GDDR7 memory, but lacks the node advantage of previous models.
- The card delivers an 18% generational increase over the RTX 4080 Super when tested across various games at 4K and performs best at 1440p and 1080p resolutions.
- However, its performance in ray tracing and DLSS 4 leaves something to be desired, and the RTX 5080 has lower margins in games like Returnal and Call of Duty than previous RTX offerings.
- DLSS 4, which allows for multi-frame generation, does offer some performance improvement but is not enough to justify the card's price tag.
- If you're coming from old hardware, the RTX 5080 is a decent choice, but enthusiasts with recent hardware looking for a true upgrade may be disappointed by what's on offer.
- Nvidia's decision to use the same node with similar specs as the previous generation raises concerns about what the RTX 5080's successors will look like in the future.
