Compact Powerhouse with Excellent Cooling
The ASUS PRIME RTX 5080 is an absolute beast in a surprisingly compact form. Installation was straightforward thanks to its SFF-friendly 2.5-slot design, and it fit perfectly in my Micro-ATX case without airflow issues. The fans are impressively quiet, even when the card is under heavy load, and temperatures stay well under control. I was very impressed with the performance to thermal deltas. Performance is phenomenal, handling demanding games at high resolutions with ease. The dual BIOS and 0dB fan mode are nice touches for customizing noise and performance balance. Honestly, I don't even need to use the silent mode, as it's quiet enough for me already. While there’s a fair bit of plastic in the build, it still feels solid and well-engineered. Overall, this card offers top-tier power, quiet operation, and excellent efficiency in a small GPU.

Upgrade if you get a chance
Fantastic card at msrp. Upgraded from 3080 ftw3. This card runs cooler and is smaller. Performance gain is great. Love it

Another 5080
Was able to purchase the day before Christmas at MSRP $999. Although it’s not my preferred look for a build, I was not going to pay over MSRP for a card that barely improves over 4080 Super. My old Build included an EVGA 3080 and 8700K but started to show its age in modern titles such as BF6 if I wanted all the setting maxed without DLSS. Is it overpriced, yes, but it’s also the best consumer grade card unless you want to spend $2,000 or more. New build paired with 9800X3D Runs BF6 Overkill settings, no DLSS or FG at 3440 x 1440 at 130 fps. Opted not to wait for super due to rumors of cancellation. If you can afford it then why not, but if you can’t, opt for 5070ti or 9700xt @ MSRP only.
