It\u2019s a strange time to be reviewing an Nvidia graphics card. The company sent me a GeForce RTX 5080 a month and a half ago, and in that time, I\u2019ve played a lot of games and watched a lot of GPU benchmark comparison videos. But also in that time, Nvidia\u2019s longtime competitor AMD (which has historically been the underdog of the two) released its new line of cards<\/a>, including the Radeon RX 9070 XT, which is shockingly comparable to the RTX 5080<\/a> while being significantly cheaper (the 9070 XT retails for $599, while the RTX 5080 costs $999). I figured, maybe by the time I post something, you\u2019d be able to buy either GPU.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the thing, though \u2014 you can\u2019t. Almost as soon as Nvidia\u2019s new cards hit the market in February, they sold out in less than an hour<\/a>. The AMD cards are also in extraordinarily short supply<\/a>. More troubling, both the Nvidia and AMD GPUs have ended up selling for significantly more than their retail price, either because of enterprising resellers, or because retailers can and do take advantage of the fact that people are always willing to pay quite a bit more for these cards than the list prices. But even if you were willing to pay several thousand dollars for one of these cards, you still might not be able to get one for months \u2014 or longer, it\u2019s hard to say right now. Not that many of these cards exist in the world at this time, seemingly. [Ed note:<\/strong> This is not a new problem<\/a>.]<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t have a 9070 XT to which I can compare the RTX 5080, and if you\u2019re reading this and you care about that comparison<\/a>, you\u2019ve probably already decided which one you prefer and what you hope to get. You might be the kind of person who has also been watching comparative benchmark videos and is willing to wait however long it takes to purchase the best-performing card on the market.<\/p>\n

Or you might be somebody more like me, who purchases what\u2019s available and affordable when I\u2019m in a position to upgrade. I actually bought an RTX 4070 Ti Super last fall with my own money. At that time, rumors suggested that Nvidia would release new cards in early 2025, but I was worried about President Trump\u2019s impending tariffs<\/a>, and I guessed that the 50-series cards wouldn\u2019t actually be available to purchase for a long time after their debut anyway. It\u2019s why I actually bought all<\/em> of the parts for a brand-new PC build alongside my new GPU. (Also, at that time I didn\u2019t know Nvidia was going to send me an RTX 5080 to review. One cannot and should not count on such things, even in our line of work.) This PC, for readers\u2019 reference, contains an AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D 4.7 GHz 8-core processor, a Gigabyte X670 AORUS Elite AX motherboard, 64 GB of RAM, and a 1600 W power supply. I have two 1440p monitors and, unfortunately for testing purposes, no 4K displays.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\" \"\" \"\"
I am now capable of playing STALKER 2<\/em> on my PC. And it even looks good!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In addition to feeling desperate to upgrade my PC before Trump took office, lest I make an already expensive upgrade even pricier, I just wanted to play STALKER 2<\/em><\/a>, which didn\u2019t run at all on my previous PC (the one that contained the RTX 3070 I reviewed<\/a> in 2020, a card that\u2019s slightly below the recommended STALKER 2<\/em> system requirements). I\u2019m not saying that STALKER 2<\/em> ran poorly on my previous machine. It did not run at all<\/em>. It wouldn\u2019t even load. Now, the PC version of STALKER 2<\/em> wasn\u2019t exactly optimized for success<\/a> at launch, but I kept on trying after multiple updates, and it didn\u2019t go well. It seemed like an ill portent. Plus, the RTX 3070 was by far the newest component in my PC at that time.<\/p>\n

I was planning to circle back to the RTX 3070 as my comparison point for this RTX 5080 review because I figured the differences between it and my RTX 4070 Ti Super would be somewhat negligible, or at least, not very exciting to write about. Instead, I\u2019ve ended up realizing that my RTX 4070 Ti Super \u2014 by far the most expensive item in my new <\/em>PC build \u2014 was not actually that great.<\/p>\n

I hate to even admit this because I\u2019m still kind of pissed off about it, but here we go. I had actually realized this problem long before the RTX 5080 arrived on my doorstep. Most games looked good on my new PC build, but Indiana Jones and the Great Circle<\/em><\/a> \u2014 and let me use a technical term here \u2014 looked like dogshit. I could have, and would have, spent more time trying to figure out where the bottlenecking was happening, or why the frame rate in the game would plummet any time I tried to actually turn up the graphics settings at all to take some nice screenshots of what should have been a very pretty video game. Even on normal settings, it still tended to look shimmery and grainy and just plain wrong<\/em>.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m now gratified to learn that I\u2019m not alone in this experience. Googling \u201cRTX 4070 Ti Super Indiana Jones and the Great Circle looks bad\u201d will yield tons of different forum threads on Steam, Reddit, and elsewhere from people having the same problems that I ran into. After a lot of tweaking with settings, I managed to find a sweet spot where the game looked pretty good and the frame rate wasn\u2019t suffering, but I felt confused and disappointed that it didn\u2019t look way better \u2014 and that this much effort was required to feel content with the results. After all, I had just upgraded my entire PC, and Great Circle<\/em> was the first major AAA, graphically intensive game that was released after my big upgrade. It felt bad.<\/p>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

I now feel extremely spoiled by how good my games have looked and performed in 1440p with the RTX 5080. As soon as I plugged it in and installed the new Nvidia drivers, Great Circle<\/em> looked incredible, no tweaks required. With every setting maxed out, I was still able to average 120-125 frames per second in the game, even in wide-open areas with lots of moving assets on screen (with Nvidia\u2019s DLSS Frame Generation technology on the 4x setting). STALKER 2<\/em> fared even better, averaging 160 fps on all \u201cEpic\u201d settings and only dropping to 120 fps when I ran into those massive anomaly areas with tons of stuff floating around in the air.<\/p>\n

Perhaps the most satisfying point of comparison for me was Cyberpunk 2077<\/em>. This is a game with a lot of shiny, reflective surfaces, and I had a blast taking pictures of them all. I compared them to some of my old screenshots when I first played the game, on my previous PC with the RTX 3070 (which was a brand-new card for me when that game was first released), and it\u2019s fun to see the improvements. Cyberpunk 2077<\/em> has gotten a big makeover (including DLSS 4 support<\/a> and path tracing) since it was first released, and now, my PC has, too, and I get to reap the benefits.<\/p>\n

All of this said, would I have attempted to purchase an RTX 5080 on my own, had I not been sent one by Nvidia last month? I actually think I might have, but not for a long time \u2014 probably a year from now, or longer, once the card actually becomes widely available and affordable. By that point, my personal frustrations with the RTX 4070 Ti Super \u2014 itself not a particularly big jump in power compared to the RTX 4070 Ti and the RTX 4070 Super (yes, those are actually two other cards with extremely similar names) \u2014 might have motivated me to resell and trade up my GPU. Or perhaps in the intervening time, I would have troubleshooted whatever weird, unlikely bottleneck was happening with my GPU on Great Circle<\/em>. I have the personal privilege, currently, of not having to figure that out anymore, because I have an RTX 5080 that makes everything look fantastic right out of the box with no work on my part at all. Even if I decide to upgrade to 4K monitors down the line, I\u2019m not too concerned about whether the RTX 5080 can keep up.<\/p>\n

For a regular person who\u2019s looking to purchase a GPU right this second, I don\u2019t know that I can recommend the RTX 5080 because you literally can\u2019t<\/em> buy it right now. I mean, you can certainly try, and if you\u2019re as anxious about impending tariffs as I am, then maybe you should, despite the resale markup you\u2019ll probably face. Even Nvidia\u2019s 40-series cards are currently selling for hefty price tags, and it might be a while before even those cards get cheaper. They probably won\u2019t until the 50-series cards are more widely available, assuming that ever happens.<\/p>\n

This is part of why the entire competition between the Nvidia RTX 5080 and AMD RX 9070 XT is a theoretical one, at least for the moment. Unless you\u2019re willing to pay top dollar for a wallet-gouging resale on the exact new card you want, you\u2019re probably going to do what I did last fall, which was to purchase a decently new card that happened to be available at a bearable price during the time period that I was making said purchase. If that somehow ends up being an RTX 5080, I can promise you it\u2019ll make AAA games look fantastic for the next couple of years. Also, I hope you\u2019re surviving whatever is happening to you in the far future where that RTX 5080 was available to buy at a bearable price.<\/p>\n
