Customer Ratings & Reviews

Been building pc's since the 3dfx Voodoo days and PNY is one if the og's. Card worked out of the box using the latest drivers, no issues as the internet says. Runs cool and quiet, no coil whine. Performance gains were huge coming from a Powercolor 6800XT. No rgb wich is a plus, came with 16v to 3x8 pin adapter so im not worried about fires, and the best part, got it at msrp. Going into a batman build with an AMD 9800X3D.

This is one of the few cards that is at MSRP and although it isn't one of the best looking, the build quality does feel nice and can look good with an all-black build. I was able to overclock the core to stay at ~3150mhz, I probably could have gone higher but wanted stability in actual gaming without tinkering too much. Memory was overclocked to 2000+, which didn't result in performance loss or stability issues despite seeming high and hitting the limit on MSI Afterburner. Supposedly, you can remove the memory limit and go beyond 2000+ but I didn't bother. The overclock resulted in a 10.2% fps difference in 3DMark Steel Nomad between PNY's stock OC and mine; the difference between a stock Nvidia FE 5080 is likely higher. The overclocking headroom of the 5080s makes the value proposition better (still isn't amazing), especially if you get this card at MSRP. Throughout the benchmarks the card stayed below 73C in my compact case and also the fans turn off completely when the card is not underload, which is nice for noise.

I was able to pick up this card at MSRP and upgraded my 7 year old PC from a 1080TI. This card is an absolute monster and could handle anything I threw at it on a 1440p monitor. Temps were cool and power draw was in the low to mid 300's. Definitely recommend this card for anyone who's been waiting for a significant upgrade.`

I was fortunate enough to get this when it was still $999. That was the only way I intended on getting a 5080 as I was coming from a 3090 which still plays everything just fine. Whether or not it's worth it at $500 more is up to you. That being said, this jump is pretty fantastic. Playing Maxed out Doom: The Dark Ages at 4K 150+ fps w/ 2x frame gen is an incredible experience. Everything I try to play I see massive uplift. On top of that, it is remarkably efficient. When playing graphically intensive games, it is typically using under 300 watts while chilling in the 50s-low 60s. Not to mention the overclocking, my god. Insane noticeable uplift while not using much more power. Getting within 5-10% of the 4090 at a lower cost. I am very happy with that. Build quality is solid, and I still like the look of the GPU without the RGB. PNY really did well with this one. I wish they kept that price $999, but that's just how things are going now.

lets go straight to the point! & save you time reading reviews! this 5080 is msrp balance quality & price its OC version quiet and very cool under load aesthetic and good performer well paired with 9800x3d (100%!!!) highly recommend!

I am comparing this to my friend's nvidia 5080 fe card. This has better performance, you can see it in the benchmarks, and it is clocked higher. It does this while being less noisy. Although the noise of both cards are neglibile. Now the FE looks much better, and looks better built, but the pny isnt very bad. It comes with its own gpu mount, is is significantly larger. Takes up the entire width of my case. Only issue I have with it, it is a nitpick, the back of the gpu exposed outside smudges. This is rarely an issue, but when you touch it by mistake while connecting a dp / hdmi cable, it can be annoying. 5080 however, I would suggest you reconsider. I only got it because I wanted a card quickly, and this was available for pickup. The 5070ti does everything the 5080 does with an almost unnoticable difference in performance.

This card is great. Not a hyper inflated price like Asus or MSI. Its not the prettiest card in the 50 series lineup but I can appreciate the function over form. Runs cool and quiet. OCs and underlots very well. Good framerates in 4k at high/ultra settings for around 300 watts. Big step up from my old 3080 and benchmarks are coming in close to or at 4090 numbers. Maybe we see PNY become the next EVGA.

Great card! To be honest, I wasn't sure about buying from PNY at first; my previous GPU's were a Founders Edition then EVGA before that, so I'm used to their level of quality. Well, I can happily report that this card EASILY matches their quality and completely blew away all of my expectations for it, all while staying at MSRP too. Playing Cyberpunk 2077 at 1440p Ultra w/ Path Tracing, this thing pulls 320W and averages 64°C at the minimum fan speed of 30%. It's practically inaudible. As for coil whine, there isn't any to speak of even at full tilt. Super impressive performance with plenty of headroom for OC. If you can get your hands on this at MSRP and don't mind the no-frills appearance, I highly recommend it! I'm really glad I didn't let my lack of experience with PNY scare me away.

This GPU has the best value for the 5080 series. I tested mostly all of them and this one has small flaws. The temps don't get higher than 70 degrees on average, it gets 65 on the AAA game. Overclocking it can boost up 15 frames using MSI Afterburner and doesn't cause any stress. Make sure you have a 1000 watts or higher for OC. The only flaw is that it takes a few minutes to configure the frame generation settings. You might need to restart the game or the software. It does feel cheap and but as long as you take care of it, you shouldn't worry at all.

I just bought this card and it’s fantastic! Super quiet, stays cool even under heavy 4K gaming, and the factory overclock really gives it a nice boost. It’s a big card, but totally worth it for the performance.

Im not sure why this is so cheap...maybe they have some deal with NVIDIA to keep the price low? Performs amazingly, is quiet and cool. Feel like I really lucked out snagging this at MSRP. Also it comes with a anti Dag bracket for the GPU.

The PNY RTX 5080 OC is an absolute sleeper card once you toss out the stock settings and actually tune the silicon with an undervolt and overclock. While it ships as a basic, no-frills model, it clearly has tons of hidden headroom. Dropping the core voltage down 0.975mV while locking the core clock at a flat 3100MHz completely changes the efficiency profile. It bypasses the aggressive voltage-frequency curve that causes these modern cards to pull unnecessary wattage and dump massive heat into the case. Combined with +2000MHz memory clock offset, the expanded bandwidth allows the GPU to sustain those high clocks under heavy 4K loads without hitting power or thermal limits. The fans actually run at a reasonable RPM because the undervolt keeps the hotspot temperatures well within check, usually running around 62c while gaming in a well ventilated case and room temps in the low 70s. Pairing this GPU with the Ryzen 7 9800X3D removes any remaining bottlenecks. The massive 3D V-Cache on the 9800X3D keeps the frame render queue entirely full, resulting in a perfectly flat frametime graph with practically nonexistent micro-stutters. Even in simulation-heavy titles or unoptimized open-world engines that normally choke a CPU, the 1% lows remain incredibly high. Whether you are running native path tracing or pushing a high-refresh-rate panel, this hardware combination handles everything effortlessly. The only negative is the current pricing environment of PC parts, all things considered though, I would buy this GPU again.

Very impressive so far. Super easy to install. Plug in and play basically. Upgraded from a 3080. I'm a sim racer. ACC (unreal engine sim game) is now playable in VR which I could never get to good enough settings with my previous 3080 and that's without upgrading my CPU. I plan to do that later. Once I go to a 14th gen intel processor paired with this 5080 nothing will stop me. It arrived WAY quicker than predicted (like 3 days earlier). I can now play all my sim racing games in VR and in my triple 1440p monitors (with great graphics). FPS hasn't changed much because I'm CPU bottlenecked at the moment.

Runs great, runs cool and quiet, no issues to speak of.

Must’ve gotten lucky my card barely breaks a sweat even overclocked to a 3300mhz and +2000 memory clock. It’s stable as can be and barely breaks 62c after getting a case (h6 flow) with fans on the bottom to help cool it. In my old h5 flow case it would get close to 70c which is still fine. But my card is church mouse quiet. Works. No gimmicks no frills card. 5 star.

The performance is pretty good. I haven’t been able to get over 300 MHz over clock, but that’s fine. Normal operation it’s pretty quiet but if you turn the fans past 50% it gets pretty loud. Even with the overclock it’s only drawing around 380 W max. The only problem is the VRAM has enough performance to run Indiana Jones maxed out quality, but doesn’t have enough VRAM.

Great deal at $999 including tax. This card replaced my 2080 GPU. Fit easily inside my Fractal Design North case. Works great. Only needed to add 3rd PCI-e cable for my existing 850 watt PSU. Quiet. Zero issues. Would buy again.

An extremely powerful card... Runs everything.. Far more powerful and draws less power than my 3080 ti.. The only thing more powerful is the RTX 5090... But that's kind of overkill... You're totally fine with a 5080 trust me.. highly recommended!

I have this 5080 paired with a 9800X3D and 2x32GB DDR5 6000 CL30. My previous GPU was an MSI 3090 Gaming X Trio and I have been very hesitant to upgrade due to the reduction in VRAM between my old card and this card. Since companies have been basically saying that things like GPU memory, RAM, and flash storage production are going to disappear due to the contracts with memory manufacturers lasting through 2027, I figured I basically have to get a new GPU now or literally not be able to soon. This was initially a reluctant purchase and I overpaid for the card. It was $1,289 vs what it should cost, $999, and for most people I would probably suggest going with a 5070Ti if you can find one under $1000. It's not that much worse and has the same amount of VRAM. I was only comfortable overpaying for this card because I can sell my 3090 for what I paid for it right now. That being said, this thing blows the 3090 out of the water in every metric of performance. Raw performance is 40-60% better with my overclock. I play at 4K. The frame gen is excellent to have if needed, and the new DLSS 4.5 models run with basically no performance reduction at all on the 5000 Series graphics cards. If you play on a 4K screen, extremely intensive games with absolute max settings and path tracing, it is possible to run out of VRAM and crash. This can easily be remedied by dropping something like draw distance, shadows, textures, or mesh quality, to get the VRAM utilization down just a tad. Or drop the DLSS down from DLAA/Quality to Performance, very little visual difference at all. Overall most games not utilizing path tracing have come nowhere near using 16GB of VRAM, but that's not to say the problem doesn't exist. This GPU should have absolutely had 20-24GB and not 16GB. In a few years, at 4K max settings, I imagine the VRAM constraint is going to be a more common issue unless we see far more optimizations and new technologies coming out for texture compression, etc. I run this 5080 at 110% power limit, +300 core and +2000 memory, all day, no sweat. It can go higher but I value stability over benchmark scores and I'm not trying to fry it. The most it pulls is just about 380-400W using these settings, and the 12VHPWR cable is rated for 600W maximum. I run a constant fan curve of 38% speed, and the hottest this has ever gotten in my case is about 64 degrees after literal hours of constant benchmarking and stress tests. My PC case is a Corsair 3500X with 4 intake fans and 4 exhaust fans all running at about 60% or 1000RPM. Next to silent. Visually, it's about the most boring graphics card you can purchase. I personally didn't care at all, since I look at my OLED screen and not at my computer. There is a decent, included little GPU stand to prop it up. This card is EXTREMELY long, make sure your case is big enough to fit it! At certain fan percentages there can be a small amount of... rattle? Grinding? Which is apparently a known issue and for some people may constitute an instant return or RMA. Seems to be luck of the draw; mine has a little bit of this noise, which is why I had to click through every single percentage from 30-100% fan speed to figure out what RPMs it would start making the noise at. It's only at a few percentages as you go from about 60% to 100% fan speed, and at it's worst it isn't that loud. I settled at 38% constant fan speed and the card is still extremely cool. Overall, recommend, especially if you are concerned about the upcoming even worse GPU supply issues. Plus a 5090 right now is $3,999...

This is a beast of graphics card. Paird with a 5800x3d at first, very phenomenal. Moving to a 9850x3d has greatly imrpoved the frame timing/ 1%lows/.1% lows. This is one of the greatest aspects of my build. Got it very reasonable and am enjoying every time I boot. The best feeling is 2k+ resolution with every setting maxed, no issue.
