The Nvidia RTX 5080 cannot match up to the raw processing of a RTX 5080, but with multi frame gen it's a card you can't ignore.

Following a two-year wait, NVIDIA’s highly-anticipated GeForce 50 series of GPUs are nearly here. Engadget has published its review of the $2,000 RTX 5090, but if you’re reading this article, chances are you already know if you want to splurge on a 50 series card.

Nvidia followed up the most powerful GPU it’s ever made, the RTX 5090, with this — the RTX 5080. It’s half the price, and it offers around 70% of the performance. That should be a good thing, but the RTX 5080 falls short when compared to Nvidia’s last-gen offerings that still rank among the best graphics cards.
