Embrace the dragon's wrath
I built a new 9800x3d rig to replace my 11900k/3080 setup. I was able to get my hands on a 4080 Super for a month while I waited to snag a 5080 drop here on Best Buy. The 5080 is an incredible upgrade, even over the 4080 Super. I am able to get 23.6% more frames compared to the 4080 Super on stock settings out of the box. Compared to the 3080 at stock without frame gen, it has a 57% performance increase. When it comes to comparing performance with DLSS Frame-gen turned on at max settings for the 4080 Super and 5080, the 5080 has a 105% performance boost. Absolutely incredible. This card is also about 30% smaller by volume and is about 40% Lighter than the 4080 Super. It may even be lighter than the evga 3080 I had in my old machine. It was definitely a worthwhile upgrade for me from the 3080 and I still believe that it is a worthwhile upgrade over the 4080 Super. The 4080 Super still didn't have the power for me to make gameplay smooth at 4k. The 5080 gets a solid 80-100 fps on most of my intensive 4k games, which is plenty for a smooth gaming experience. Some light coil whine, but every graphics card has it, and it doesn't really bother me at this point. There's always cranking up the case fans and wearing headphones. Price could be a couple hundred cheaper but we're living in 2025 and it is what it is at this point.

Absolute Beast of a GPU – Smooth, Cool, and Powerf
The MSI RTX 5080 Gaming Trio OC is hands down the best graphics card I’ve ever owned. It runs every game flawlessly at max settings, delivering insane performance with smooth frame rates. Even under heavy load, the temperatures stay impressively cool, and I’ve had zero issues with overheating or stability. Whether for gaming or creative work, this GPU is an absolute powerhouse. Best purchase I’ve made—highly recommend!

Great card from MSI!
I never used anything from MSI until now with this 5080. 5090s are impossible to get so settle on buying this for now. So far I’m impressed with the card from the aesthetics to performance. I’m happy with my purchase and my micro m-atx build paired with 9800x3d. On COD playing ultra, DLSS to balanced and RT on I get 300 FPS. I use the Asus Rog Strix 32 QD - OLED monitor and it looks beautiful. So far so good!
