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

The RTX 5080 is the second most powerful Blackwell graphics card, just behind the $2,000 RTX 5090. It outperforms the now-discontinued RTX 4080 Super by about 5%-10%. In games supporting the new DLSS 4 with multi-frame generation, exclusive to Blackwell cards, the performance advantage is even more pronounced.

Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 FE Review, by Jacqueline Thomas

"If you already have a high-end graphics card from recent years, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 might not offer significant improvements—it only slightly outpaces the RTX 4080. However, the additional frames provided by DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation enhance the gaming experience in supported titles. For gamers upgrading from older GPUs, the RTX 5080 delivers a substantial performance boost, especially if you're open to using Nvidia's AI technologies."
