Customer Ratings & Reviews

The NVIDIA 5080 is basically the GPU equivalent of a bodybuilder who bench presses cars and sprints at the speed of light… but refuses to eat more than 16GB of RAM. Why? Who knows. Maybe it’s on a strict VRAM diet. Maybe it’s just modest. Either way, this thing demolishes games, crushes renders, and makes your PC look like it joined the Avengers. But yeah—16GB of VRAM in 2025? That’s like showing up to a buffet with a teaspoon. Still, for everything else it does, you’ll forgive it… until you boot up a 12K texture mod and hear your GPU whisper, “I wasn’t built for this.” Verdict: Absolute monster—just wish it had a bigger appetite. I really wanted the 5090 founders edition but could not get my hands on one.....

So it’s a graphics and if you’re reading this you already know all the details and capabilities of this card. You may not be aware of how easy it is to install and how helpful BesrBuy is at taking care of that for you. Their total tech membership (sold separately) took care of the labor of installing it, updating drivers, making sure everything works as it should. You already know what the 5080 is capable of - it’s a bit expensive but if it’s something your passionate about, it’s 100% worth it.

stock performance of the 5080 is only about 10-15% better when compared to the 4080 super. however, where the 5080, or at least my specific unit, suprisingly shines is in its overclock/undervolt potential. with the use of msi afterburner, i was able to tweak the 5080 to perform about 15% better without much more wattage. i was never able to do this with my 4080 super. the overclock/undervolt brought my total 5080’s performance to be about 25-30% better than my 4080 super and essentially on-par with my friend’s 4090 while consuming 80-100 watts less. i initially decided to replace my 4080 super with the 5080 just because of the founders edition look and to try out multi-frame generation since i got the 5080 fe for msrp anyway but i ended up really enjoying the meaningful performance and efficiency gains. i’d recommend the 5080 if available at msrp.

Card is much smaller than my old 6950xt. Really like the look of the card, very sleek and modern without crazy rgb. Runs great so far, easy install with no driver issues switching from AMD. Running Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 and Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth at 4k maxxed settings. DLAA looks sooo much better than TAA. Im glad youtubers "hate" this card so much and I was able to get it without issue!

If Nvidia waited for manufacturing to be able to mass produce chips with sub-4nm nodes. They’d still be selling 40 series cards for the next 2-4 years. Given that, we cant expect 30-40% increases. But a 20% over the 4080 Super when OCing, at the same cost as a 4080 super is a deal. My card arrived Wednesday, but im out of town. Heading home tomorrow to slap it in my PC and run benchmarks!

I got lucky and was able to order the RTX 5080 on the day of its release at MSRP. For that price, I think it's pretty good for me as I had had my eye on the RTX 4080 Super for awhile and never pulled the trigger. The design and build of the Founder's Edition card is great. It's great to see a 2-slot design where most of the other brands are pushing monstrosities that take 3 or even 4 slots. The card feels solid and well-constructed and that part at least makes it feel worthy of its price tag. The power connector is recessed in the card at an angle, which helps with narrower cases, though reaching and getting the connector securely in there is a little difficult. The performance isn't the most exciting, especially compared to the previous generation, but with a small and easily achievable overclock the gap does widen a bit. I can max out almost all but the most demanding path-tracing games at 4K using DLSS Quality and be well into the 100's in FPS, though I was disappointed to see I had to lower my settings in Indiana Jones, even at DLSS Performance, due to VRAM limitations. It's concerning to see games hitting that limit right at the beginning of this generation and I wish Nvidia had bumped the VRAM to 24GB instead. Overall I'm personally happy with the RTX 5080, though part of me wishes I had just upgraded a year earlier instead. I would not pay more than $1000 for any 5080 card - I think the value at that price is probably questionable for some anyway and more than that you're better off trying to find an MSRP (or close to MSRP) 5070 Ti for higher-end performance.

Excellent card, runs cool and came well packed. I was surprised at how small it was. The power connector was a little rough to put in - had to be a little forceful - but no issues seen so far.

This card is sleek and a powerhouse. While some will say that it needed more VRAM, it does a hell of a job where its at.

Runs cold, it can be overclocked a lot. U can get substantial perfomance out of this one.

Let me preface this by saying my use case is mostly gaming at 4k. Haven’t had any issues with this card since getting it, I would recommend doing a clean install of the nvidia drivers if you are upgrading. Other than that it’s been rock solid with good temps. Now if you aren’t playing the newest games using dlss and frame gen there are definitely better options but with the way things are going these days getting a card that can make the most of those settings might be the only way to get smooth frame rates.

I’m so glad I didn’t try reselling this thing. As soon as I got it, I was like I’m keeping it and I’m glad I did. My games look amazing now. I don’t think it’s worth getting partner cards. This card runs super cool performers, gray, and over clocks like a beast no need to spend more on the partner cards.

This remains the best value, and also, the best looking card this update cycle. Reference cards can be a question mark each year but NVIDIA applied some design improvements this time around with a "Double Flow Through" design. Card runs quiet and cool. There's lighting on the X on top of the card and the GeFORCE RTX lettering at the front. Driver performance has been pretty good post launch. The latest gimmick is Multi Frame Generation; say what you will about it, but it is fun to experiment with. The card fits inside my H6 Flow beautifully. The card does come with a 12VHPWR adapter. I recommend buying PSUs with ATX 3.1 standard for the longer pins.

Runs super fast and looks great. Only downside is availability. Nvidia has the capacity to meet consumer demand, but chose the greedy route of controlled scarcity.

Good quality and clean design. Fit mid size pc case nicely.

Super confused by the reviews about all that aside. This thing pumps everything I throw at it, never owned one. This good before just the box itself with the video card is heavier than any gaming laptop. I've ever owned, and this thing is a beast

RTX 5080 is a really powerful and fast graphics card. It makes games look amazing, definitely a great buy.

I was looking everywhere to get the 5090 for MSRP. It felt impossible. However, when I was able to get my hands on the 5080FE I wasred no time. And it hasn’t disappointed me in the slightest. I’ve had the card for a month or so now and the performance is incredible. I’ve been able to run games at their best settings, something that my 3070Ti was always failing to do. I couldn’t be happier with the 5080FE. Although, I still feel like the prices for these graphics cards are very saturated

Can't beat MSRP. The FE model stays cool and overclocks well.

I was lucky enough to snag this on launch day for msrp. I know there is alot of contriversy with this card not being a big leap over its last series. But my question i had was is it worth it coming from and EVGA FTW3 3080 10GB to this. Let me tell you it absolutly is. I was getting low frame rates and random crashing in even Diablo 4. Now that ive upgraded to this i get 70-120 frames in 4k max settings and ray tracing with no frame gen. There is also apparently a pretty large headroom for overclocking this card to be on par with the RTX 4090. I didnt go that crazy with it but i did use the Nvidia app to scan and do an auto OC. Its given me several more frames on average. Overall absolutly happy with this purchase.

This is the absolute best 5080 to get variation wise. Paired with a 7800x3d, this gpu running all my games at 4k at high/ultra settings. Of course its not gonna give the performance of the 5090, but half its price, it does an amazing job. 16gb of vram is good enough for most games at 4k currently, unsure about longevity wise.
