The redesigned airflow system now prioritizes intake over exhaust, ensuring a cleaner interior. Internally, the system has been updated with a new motherboard, faster RAM, and a more robust power supply to support the latest CPUs and GPUs.
Performance of the GeForce RTX 5080 GPU
The RTX 5080 is the second most powerful Blackwell graphics card, only outdone by the RTX 5090 priced at $2,000. It's approximately 5%-10% faster than the now-discontinued RTX 4080 Super. The performance gap increases with games that leverage the new DLSS 4 technology, exclusive to Blackwell cards, offering multi-frame generation.
Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 FE Review, by Jacqueline Thomas
"If you already have a high-end graphics card from the last couple of years, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 might not offer a significant enough upgrade – its performance lead over the RTX 4080 is minimal, though the added frames from DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation do enhance gameplay in supported titles. However, for gamers looking to upgrade from older cards, the RTX 5080 delivers a substantial performance boost, especially if you're keen on Nvidia's AI enhancements."
