Upgraded from a 4080 to the ASUS TUF RTX 5080 and holy… the jump is insane. 4K 240 Hz with full path tracing + DLSS 4 in Black Myth Wukong and Cyberpunk looks unreal and stays above 120 fps. Temps never go above 68 °C even after hours of gaming thanks to that massive triple-fan cooler. Super quiet too – I barely hear it over my case fans.
Power draw is high but totally manageable with my 1000 W PSU. Frame Gen 4 + the new AI upscaling makes everything buttery smooth. Ray reconstruction is flawless now. Build quality is tank-level, love the reinforced backplate and the subtle RGB. If you want a card that will crush 2025-2028 games at max settings, this is it. ASUS killed it with the TUF version – worth every penny.

Grabbed the ASUS TUF RTX 5080 from Best Buy, and it’s been a total powerhouse in my rig. Running 4K ultra settings on Cyberpunk 2077 and Expedition 33 without a hiccup—frames are smooth, temps stay chill, and I haven’t heard the fans spin up once in a distracting way.
The thing is built like a tank. Install was clean, performance has been flawless, and even under pressure, it doesn’t blink. Yes, it’s expensive. But once you see what it can do, you stop thinking about the price and just enjoy the ride. It’s overkill in the best way.
If you’re on the edge and wondering if it’s worth it—yeah, it is. This card absolutely slaps.

Just upgraded to this card from a 3080 ti. Huge difference in 2025 title games. The biggest difference is the how much cooler this card runs. 30 to 50 F cooler than the 3080 ti I had. It is a much bigger card the the 3080 ti, so you may need to upgrade the case. Battlefield 6: 75 FPS utra setting and no dlss. AI: Phi 4 Q6_K 0.21 Seconds to 1st token and 15.65 tokens/sec. Overall very impressed with the build quality of the card and the new Blackwell architecture, a massive leap from Ampere architecture.

Why did I buy this? Was it FOMO? Was it the need to be on the latest and greatest?
No clue. Here we are. This particular model from ASUS is built like a tank, and it's massive. It's quiet, fast, and stays cool. I haven't attempted an overclock yet, but I have no doubt it'll handle it.
Paired with a 7950X3D, my temperatures haven't exceeded 60-65°C under load. For those wondering, yes, this card does fit in the Corsair 4000D.
Now, let's talk about the elephant in the room: the pricing. It's atrocious. Both these companies are milking us dry, and I'm the sucker who fell for it. With geopolitical tensions on the rise, I don't see prices getting any better anytime soon. In fact, they'll probably just get worse. So, get scammed while you can!

It's near silent even under max CyberPunk ray racing load. I can't hear it over my case fans and those are all noctua. Coming from an rtx 3080, this thing is a phantom. Performance- a wildly high upgrade. This specific tuf 5080 is as good as or better than anything I could have hoped for. I can only cry about the price. All 5080s are bonkers expensive, this is not an exception. It's wildly expensive, but also on tier to be best of it's class. Got the cash to spare? This thing is a win. If you care about cost to benefit... well that will depend where you're coming from and if you have this much cash to spend on toys.

The ASUS ROG 5080 RTX OC was not the card I wanted,but it was the card in stock and everyone has a limit. So, i relent and order the card only to be informed its no longer in stock and i must drive 60 miles to a different store. They did hold the card and it was new, not returned/refurbished. Installation was smooth since i have a 3080 on my 9950X3D did a DDU and installed latest drivers. Stock the card is very potent and will easily boost to 2900 range while remaining cool and quiet. Compared to rhe 3080 the performance is stellar, but really the cooling system (and VRMs) they slapped on this card is the star of rhe show, allowing for lots of headroom if manually OC (im not, too lazy). I only wish they released with 20GB VRAM but im sure that will be the 5080Ti. Just like the 30-series i missed out on xx90 model but am happy nonetheless altough the price really is a but cheeky.

This card kicks butt in every game I play. I had to remove a hard drive cage in my tower to get this card in place because it is MASSIVE. But it was completely worth the hassle. I play all or at least most AAA titles at ultra settings at 1440p, and my CPU is a little dated which is an I7-11700K. Great card and excellent performance definitely worth the price.

Overpriced and poor value to performance, which unfortunately is the largest issue with this GPU. However, that's the only real issue I have. This unit is built very well, and is absolutely solid in both form and function. It's a large card, so you have to be certain it will fit in your case. The "Gunmetal Grey" color scheme matches perfectly with the other components in my build. My unit OC's really well, which is never guaranteed, and does indeed provide the experience it promises. Overall, once I got over the price I paid, it's been nothing but an enjoyable experience. If not for the price, I'd recommend this GPU any day. However, for the price I paid, I'd think twice before doing it again.

I couldn’t be happier with my ASUS TUF RTX 5080! This card is an absolute beast—it runs amazingly well, handling everything I throw at it with ease. Super quiet, even under load, which is impressive given the power it delivers. I haven’t had a single issue since installing it, and the build quality feels incredibly durable, just as you’d expect from ASUS TUF.
If you’re looking for a powerful, reliable, and quiet GPU, this is hands-down one of the best choices out there. Absolutely worth every penny!

The GPU itself is excellent. It's probably the coolest running video card I've used since the mid 2000s. The cooling solution does a good job of moving the 360W+ at full load and still stays quiet.
However, I've had a few issues. The inductor squeal is very noticeable at all framerates under full load. Everything from 80FPS in 3DMark Steel Nomad to a feature test running at 1000FPS causes squealing. At a $400 premium I would have expected a higher end selection and refinement of components on the PCB.
Nvidia does their usually kneecapping of overclock potential by limiting voltage severly, but at least Asus has provided a voltage curve tool borrowed from MSI afterburner. With that said, the card does clock very high without exceeding its software power limit. At a $400 premium, the OC constraints seem unreasonable, but I put the blame on Nvidia for that.
The last technical issue I had was with my monitor. I noticed on games using Vulkan API (No Man's Sky and Talos Principal) the monitor would flicker while it was in "160Hz Overclock Mode". The card will not drive the monitor at 160Hz either, I get a black screen at that refresh rate, so I dropped back to stock mode 144Hz and the issue seems to be resolved. This wasn't an issue with my previous AMD 6900XT, so I doubt it's the fault of the monitor or the cable. It's possible there's a particular output mode AMD supported on RDNA2 that Nvidia doesn't, but I haven't found much information on the issue yet.
Overall I wouldn't recommend this particular card with other options on the market at $200+ less with the same features. However, given the supply constraints right now, it made sense in my situation.

I grabbed this card with a great promotion from Best Buy and overall it was an excellent decision, especially with Nvidia cutting production next year. The card runs everything on ultra, including unoptimized messes like Ark Survival and BF6. This card especially is well designed, quiet and totally not a leaf blower.

I absolutely love this GPU. So far, every game I’ve thrown at it runs smoothly at max settings without any issues. Performance is outstanding, temperatures stay under control, and it feels like a solid upgrade overall. If you’re looking for top-tier gaming performance, this card definitely delivers.

So far so good! Great subtle looking card. Runs cool and has an easy OC option right in the software. Got lucky to purchase it before prices got jacked up.

This ASUS TUF RTX 5080 is a beast of a graphics card, delivering excellent performance in the latest games at high settings. The TUF design feels solid and the cooling seems effective under load. As the title indicates, it's a good product, but it is definitely a little pricy. You're certainly paying a premium for this level of performance, but the gaming power is undeniable if it fits your budget.

I got this open box deal and it was at MSRP and I couldn't be happier with the product. If you pay 1400-1600 dollars I think you could make a case that the clear value buy is the 5070TI with 16gb, but the availability of that is questionable. So, hold out for one of these if you can find a deal. This is definitely the one to go with as far as partner cards; and avoid the ASTRAL unless you're going full 5090

Absolutely blown away by the performance of my NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 Founders Edition. This card delivers incredibly smooth gameplay at high resolutions, handles 4K like a champ, and makes everything feel fast and responsive. DLSS and frame generation really take things to another level, giving me high frame rates without sacrificing visual quality.
What impressed me most is how well it balances power and efficiency while staying relatively quiet under load. Whether gaming or pushing demanding workloads, it just performs without breaking a sweat. Overall, it feels like a premium, future-ready GPU that makes every upgrade feel worth it.
