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.

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!

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.

This 5080 GPU from ASUS is working great! Meets all the published performance specs. And it tends to run cooler than other RTX models. Also, the form factor is 2-slot which better in my cases. Definitely would go with ASUS Prime 5080 again.

The GPU has excellent cooling, overclocking potential, SFF compatibility, and looks great. The 5080 is still too expensive, but there isn't much more you could ask from thge product itself.

I will say right off the bat, graphics cards...like most computer parts now are very overpriced. So we just have to choose what we can with our budgets. I got this when there was not many choices, everything kept going out of stock. I DID NOT, want an Asus card because of prior issues I had with their service. Yet this card is what ended up going through.
With that, I will say the card has been very solid. I hear very little coil whine with the side panel off, and virtually none while on. The fans are quiet, and it keeps the card nice and cool. Coming from an EVGA Rtx 3080 Ti prior, this was a nice change. I really don't bother overclocking cards too much anymore, so I can't say much there. However, it is a great card for 1440p and 4k gaming. It handles many titles very well even at max settings. Sure games like Cyberpunk will still make it struggle but that isn't changing anytime soon. You want 70+ fps at 4k at max settings on older game? No issue. Newer ones, you need the 5090.
I have also used it for video and photo editing. Can't complain here either. Fast, quiet and stays even cooler. For basic tasks, the fans won't kick on. Even in my compact Jonsplus i100 Pro.
In the end it is a quiet well performing card. I still don't trust Asus, or really like them too much. However, I will say this card has been serving me well and hope it will continue to do so. I would recommend.

As one of the ONLY retail priced RTX 5080 cards on the market andbeing from a reputable brand like Asus I can't recommend this card more. This is a no frills reference spec card that works as intended. It's very easily modded to add noctua or arctic fans with a little 3D printing or searching on something like etsy. SFF compatibilty is also there as it's a 2.5 slot card max (closer to 2.0 slots) Love the card, gaming at 4K with RT and MFG is quite nice !

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.
