Almost impossible to find these cards at msrp, but if you're lucky, this card is absolute beast! Next level in 4k gaming. The new DLSS 4 frame generation is fantastic and it'll get even better with driver updates. I know they had a rough start with some reported ROPs missing in small percentage of the cards, but I believe that NVIDIA fixed the issue, my card wasn't affected by that issue. The design is beautiful and well made.

Great upgrade from my old 3080. My last two cards were EVGA Hydro Copper, so I was worried about the noise going back to a fan cooler. But this card is practically silent on load. Some black screen driver issues at the beginning, but it has settled down with the last updates.
BestBuy was awesome on launch day as always. They had the card at the MSRP and great free delivery.

Best buy pre-orders were good to me! Aside from that, at MSRP, the RTX 5080 is still a solid value to me as I was upgrading from an 3080. Regardless of the snafu, its a solid card, that performs. Value does tank over MSRP however so be warned.

It's a pretty fantastic GPU all things considered. It's perfect for 1440p gaming with plenty of power to spare to play any current game on my computer. I also really like how it can easily be undervolted while still having the same amount of performance at stock voltage. Really helps keeps things temps low.
However, I can't in good conscious give this a 4 or 5-star because of how poorly NVIDIA handled things with the 50-series in general.
1. The small amount of GPUs in stock, which many scalpers and bots can easily take advantage of. So it's already extremely difficult to get a 50-series GPU properly, especially a Founders Edition model.
2. Still using the terrible 12VHPWR connector designs that still have problems right now.
3. The very high price for so little gen on gen improvements and gains. (The 5080 is barely any faster than a 4080/S outside of multi-frame generation). It also doesn't help that it's extremely difficult to get a 50-series GPU at MSRP price at this time.
4. Their latest driver updates (as of the time of this review being posted) have been very rough with issues and bugs that are affecting lots of users.
5. Quietly removing legacy 32-bit PhysX support without any backup (like a translation layer to use 64-bit). So some games, like Borderlands 2 or Mirror's Edge, don't run very well at all with PhysX 32-bit enabled.
When a few of these issues have been addressed (like the drivers and 32-bit PhysX being properly worked with), I may bump it up to 4-stars. But for now, that's my rating for this GPU (and the RTX 50-series as a whole).
