    As soon as I get a few more parts, I will build my new PC. I will be upgrading from a GEFORCE 1070, so i should see some speed improvement. I am not a gamer; I work with DAZ 3D, UHD graphics, other 3D software and I stream a lot of content. Price was a little high (a few hundred over MSRP), but it might be a while before we see the GPU's being offered at that price level.

    GIGABYTE RTX 5080 Delivers Stellar Performance!

    I snagged the GIGABYTE NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 from Best Buy, and it’s been a game-changer for my setup! Coming from an RTX 3070, the performance leap is insane. I’m running Baldur’s Gate 3 and Black Myth: Wukong at 4K with ultra settings, ray tracing on, and DLSS 4 enabled—getting 90-110 FPS consistently. The GIGABYTE cooling system keeps temps around 60-65°C under load, and the fans are whisper-quiet compared to my old card. The card’s design is sleek, with RGB accents that look great in my glass case. It’s a bit beefy, so make sure your case has room (I have a mid-tower). Installation was a breeze, and GIGABYTE’s software made overclocking simple for a small performance boost. My 850W PSU handles it fine, though I’d recommend 900W for peace of mind. At $1399, it’s pricey, and Best Buy stock vanishes fast, so you gotta be quick. For 4K gaming and future-proofing with GDDR7, it’s worth every penny. I also edit videos in Premiere Pro, and render times are lightning-fast. Highly recommend this beast!

    I love the gpu its awsome, as far as the discord nitro plus for 1 month free you offer for buying a $1300 gpu im extremely displeased, its a scummy tactic of making somone put in there credit card info so they can hopefully have people forget about it and have it auto renew. Its a shame best buy would tant there brand with tactics like this. If its free make it free no strings attached, if someone likes it then they can pay after there 1 month.

    The Love/Hate Relationship with Nvidia Continues

    Yea it's expensive. It's very expensive. Everywhere. But I'd be lying if I said it wasn't worth it going from sub 60fps 4k in Monster Hunter Wilds to easily 144+fps after upgrading. Powerful enough to run Cyberpunk 2077 with all settings maxed at native 4k (plus ray tracing on psycho) and still achieve 80-100 fps BEFORE frame gen, Add frame gen at even x1 (can go to x4) and you'll easily hit the refresh rate of most monitors with no tearing/ghosting/artifacts. The card runs cool, runs quiet, and is likely to maintain this price for a while, so if you can swing it, it's a worthwhile upgrade. ---- Before buying, do yourself a favor and measure the inside of your case for clearance. The card is MASSIVE. Ensure you have the power overhead required AND that your PSU can support the 12VHPWR cable or an adapter for one.

    This thing out of the box feels like a bit of a rip off given the fact that it was launched for $200 less and then there’s a over $400 markup from MSRP. However, if you do get your hands on one of these like I did. And you’re lucky enough to be able to overclock these things go up to 125% power limit. My benchmarks have beaten or about equaled my 4090. As of yet there’s zero issues with instability or bad thermals. They are just amazing. If it was $200 cheaper as it originally was, this thing would be in my opinion the best thing for GPU right now.

    Great Card But Expensive

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    It is expensive no doubt however its one of the best AIB 5080 cards available in terms of overclocking potential with it getting near the 4090 in raw raster performance with a +%25 power overclock to go from 360W to 450W TDP. Gigabyte has also opted to use thermal gel/putty for thermal transmission instead of thermal pads or thermal paste like a lot of other brand AIB's which is a bonus for long term use. If you want a powerful 5080 card with great cooling that doesnt look gawdy, this is a good one to grab. Gigabyte also has a great 4 year warranty.

    I’d give it 4.5 stars if it were an option. It is a very nice, well-built card that at least feels like it justifies a premium over MSRP. It also overclocks like a beast, putting it pretty much on par with 4090 performance. The cooling is more than adequate even when overclocked with low fan noise. Gaming temps are around 67C even when this thing is clocking at 3.3 GHz! That is really quite impressive, which makes it all the more baffling as to why NVidia handicapped this card so much out of the box. 4090-like performance for $1000 is a compelling story - a 4080 super super is not.

    if you have the money this card is fantastic about 10-15% slower than a 4090 if you throw a decent overclock and undervolt it a bit its literally performing just under a 4090 within 5% from my testing keep in mind you need a cpu capable of keeping up with a 5080 to get said performance in the first place more important at 1080p, at higher resolutions you can get away with a 7000 series amd or a 12th gen intel i5 or i7 but lower resolution like 1080p yohr gonna need a 9000 series vcache cpu preferably a 9800x3d to let the 5080 pump out insane fps

    Amazing GPU. Good colors and design. I had no ROPs problems, nor melting. Also, I managed to keep my older 850W PSU. Pros: - Fast and beautiful - Overclocked and cool temperatures Cons: - 40% MSRP Overpriced - Big and heavy - Costs almost as much as a 4090 (I should have bought a 4090 one year ago...)
