PNY - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 Overclocked 16GB GDDR7 PCI Express 5.0 Graphics Card with Triple Fan - Black

My prior GPU was an RTX 3090. Although it had 24 GB VRAM compared to the 16 GB VRAM of the 5080, the 5080 is still a massive step up. The new GDDR7 compared to the GDDR6X is much more efficient with higher bandwidth, allowing for a more seamless experience when playing. This card also uses less power than my 3090 did, making my whole system less at risk of using too much power. When it comes to gaming, this is where I was blown away. I recently upgraded to a Ryzen 7 9800x3D CPU, and combined with the 5080, this machine is now an absolute beast. The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered released in April of 2025, and is notoriously difficult to run. Not for this card. Running through my TV (120Hz) at 4K (3840x2160) on Ultra settings with maxed ray tracing still gives me a full maxed 120 FPS. I enabled frame generation, expecting to see some blur or artifacts, but shockingly the card produces an extremely smooth framerate with no noticeable "fakeness" to it. The temperatures also stay incredibly cool. Running Oblivion Remastered at 4K/120FPS was still keeping my GPU around 60-70C. My 3090 would be hitting 80C or higher at 1440p. The one potential issue you may have is making sure your power supply can handle this. My PSU was purchased in 2021, but was new enough to purchase the proper 12V connector from Corsair to properly power this graphic's card. The 5080 DOES come with a proper adapter (3x8 pin PCI), but I found it much neater to and more efficient to buy the official Corsair adapter for my PSU (2x8 pin PCI to 12V in one cable). The card is also MUCH longer than my 3090 was. My 3090 left space on the right side of my case, but you can see in the attached image that my GPU stretches the entire length of my case. Make sure you have the space needed, because it's a big card. Thankfully, I was able to handle the card and power needed to run this. It's a high end card for high end machines, and I'm incredibly satisfied with it. Compared to my 3090, this card runs dramatically better, cooler, and with less power usage. If you can handle it, I highly recommend this card.

No RGB but it was not required for my setup. Great performance with very little noise. Card is much bigger then old 3080FE

I am so impressed by this GPU because it stays cool and performs exceptional. Paired it from my 7800x3d with 34” 1440p OLED monitor. No regrets. PNY never disappoints. It is so silent too. No RGB is +++++. Just keep in mind that this Monster is 3 slot thick. And the pricing is very great.

I upgraded to the PNY RTX 5080 for my heavy sim racing setup, and it has completely blown my expectations away. Running a triple monitor configuration requires massive graphical power, and this card handles it like a breeze. I get rock-solid, ultra-smooth frame rates in iRacing even with maxed-out settings and a full grid of cars on track. The triple fan cooling system keeps the card incredibly quiet and at excellent temperatures during long, multi-hour endurance races. PNY did a fantastic job with the build quality—it feels premium, looks sleek in black, and the GDDR7 memory architecture provides incredible bandwidth. If you are looking for a top-tier GPU for professional gaming or demanding VR/sim setups, this is the one to get. Worth every penny!

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.
