Upgraded from an RTX 3080 FE to the 5080, and the difference is massive. Frame rates are significantly higher, ray tracing performance is way better, and DLSS 4.0 makes everything smoother without sacrificing quality. Temps are solid, and power efficiency seems improved too. If you’re coming from a 30-series card, this is a serious upgrade—definitely worth it!

Great card.
This card is amazing and especially for the size. I have it in a sff build, but it remains dead silent. Temps never rise above 62 c. My only complaint is it is expensive. This should be priced around 999-1150 max.

Beast of a card
This is a great card and offers a lot of power. Major uograde from the 3060 12 gb I had. Obviously wish it were cheaper but I am blown away by the performance this card offers. Was able to max out all the setting in star citizen at 1440p and got a stable 70 fps on Orison.
