The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 is an efficient, sleek member of the latest graphics card line, and the Multi-Frame Generation tech is eye-catching.

Graphics cards based on new Nvidia RTX 5090 and 5090D gaming GPUs reportedly show no display, as Chinese users report multiple failures.

It’s disappointing to see Nvidia has stuck with 16GB of VRAM on the RTX 5080. AMD’s RX 7900 XTX offers 24GB, and while the RTX 5080 delivers better performance for now, it may well hit video memory limits in 4K gaming in the future.

The most powerful of Nvidia's newest Blackwell graphics cards is a " beast ." Review after review has brought up benchmarks showcasing that when it comes to gaming, the RTX 5090 blows its predecessors and other graphics cards away. However, it appears that for many consumers, the RTX 5090 is overkill.

The best argument for grabbing a 5080 right now, if you can find one at $999 in the first place, is that the only cards that come close to its performance are either way more expensive than they're supposed to be (the 4080 Super) or not cheap enough to justify the Nvidia-specific features you give up (AMD's Radeon 7900 XTX).

Nvidia has been the champion of a new 12-pin power connector, but it might fall back to a standard PCIe adapter with the RTX 5060. The Latest Tech News, Delivered to Your Inbox
