The GeForce RTX 5080 GPU will run any game in 4K
The RTX 5080 stands as the second-best Blackwell graphics card, only outpaced by the RTX 5090. It offers a 5%-10% performance increase over the discontinued RTX 4080 Super. In games utilizing the new DLSS 4 with multi-frame generation, exclusive to Blackwell cards, the performance gap becomes even more significant.
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 doesn’t make a lot of sense – it just doesn’t have much of a performance lead over the RTX 4080, though the extra frames from DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation do make things look better in games that support it. However, for gamers with an older graphics card who want a significant performance boost, the RTX 5080 absolutely provides – doubly so if you’re comfortable with Nvidia’s AI goodies."
