    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!

    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!

    This card fits my NZXT H510 elite perfectly, no gap at all, 1mm ahead is my AIO pump. Great look, although I hope I could got a white one. Great performance, didn’t missing ROPS lol. Only drawback is some diffuser fins are bent once I received it, however it seems doesn’t affect daily usage.

    Card works great, was a nice buy to not get scalped for nearly 2K. But tbh with it being like 40% over MSRP and the low MSRP of the 9070xt. Its not really worth buying this card. Its a good choice if you *really* need RT performance, *really* want DLSS, or you *really* need a bunch of extra juice to push you barely over the line to your fps target in a game you’d like to play.

    Upgraded from a 3080 Ti. What difference 48% increase in performance in most games I play without FG. With FG almost unleavable incredible!! With 5080 straight out of the box. Truly satisfied with this card.

    I upgraded my current system to a 9800x3d and 5080. This thing runs like a beast. I switched the gaming mode on, and it chews through everything I throw at it. Currently playing The Last of Us Part 1 and its running ultra 1440p native at 120-150 fps. Astounding! This is quite an upgrade from my 3070.

    I really have no regrets on this purcahse right here. No coil whine, powerful performace, easy overclocking (i got it to 3200 mHZ easily). Much smaller than my old 4070 TI gaming trio.

    Upgraded from a 3080 10gb card. Needed the extra vram at 5120x1440. Overall, pretty good upgrade. Would recommend other than the $$$

    What a BEAST

    Hard to get and despite the high price and low generational upflift, this thing is a beast! Upgraded from a 3080 10gig and finally 4k maxed is a fluid experience on my OLED. Overclocks beyond 400mhz core (in which it draws over 400 watts at times) and gets it within breathing distance of a 4090 (albeit for barely less money and substantially less Vram). But for the next few years this will keep me happy before 6000 series releases with hopefully a smaller process node and thus much better performance, efficiency and thermals.

    I normally love MSI products, and this one didnt disappoint. Extremly quiet and powerful card that can utililze Nvidia’s new DLSS 4. Highly recommend if you can find one.

    Overpay for a great experience

    Coming from a 4070ti super that i barely had for a year you can say this was a wild card buy.. according to tests and reviews this card seemed to only give about 15%-30% gains compared to my previous card. For someone who can only use 4k/60fps that meh % gains can actually make the games I play run at stable 60fps so I say it was definitely worth it.. the price is very hard to chew and it almost didnt fit in my case but made it work! Now time to play realistic looking minecraft with mods and shaders at 4k/60fps.

    Super Silent and an overclocking beast, put the card in Gaming Mode and used MSI Afterburner to push the GPU 400MHz and the Memory by 2000Mhz. Passed all stress tests and the card gets to a max of 65 degrees celcius. On the bad side (and this is really NVIDIA not MSI) its over priced, mainly because NVIDIA truly is a Monopoly right now.

    Coming from a 2060S this card has been a massive upgrade. Awesome performance and plays anything max settings in 1440p. Even does 4k quite well to. The price is a bit high, however you can decide if its truly worth it for you. I will be using card for the next 8years so it was worth it to me.

    This is hands down the best model out of all 5080s. Its smaller(dimentions)/lighter(sag purposes) compared to other models so it fits nicely in cases. Its also cools pretty nicely even though its not chunky like the other models (suprim and vanguard) and super quiet. I love it so far

    This graphics card is an absolute beast! It crushes anything I throw at it while running cool and quiet. I love the design and branding; MSI is hands down my favorite gaming hardware brand. Despite the price hike, I’m still happy I got to upgrade from my RTX 3080.
