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

The RTX 5080 stands as the second-best Blackwell graphics card, only outclassed by the $2,000 RTX 5090. It's approximately 5%-10% faster than the now-discontinued RTX 4080 Super. In games compatible with the new DLSS 4 technology, featuring multi-frame generation exclusive to Blackwell cards, the performance difference becomes even more pronounced.

Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 FE Review, by Jacqueline Thomas

"If you already own a high-end graphics card from recent years, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 may not offer a significant enough performance increase to justify an upgrade – particularly since it only slightly outperforms the RTX 4080, though DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation does enhance visual quality in supported games. However, for gamers with older GPUs looking for a substantial boost, the RTX 5080 is a solid choice, especially if you're keen on Nvidia's AI enhancements."
