Overview
The GeForce RTX 5080 is NVIDIA's high-end Blackwell graphics card, positioned just below the flagship RTX 5090 and succeeding the RTX 4080 series.
It combines 16GB of fast GDDR7 memory with 4th-generation ray-tracing cores, 5th-generation Tensor cores, and the full DLSS 4 suite — including Multi Frame Generation for dramatically higher frame rates in supported games. AV1 encoding rounds out its creator and streaming credentials.
Built for high-refresh 4K gaming with ray tracing enabled, the RTX 5080 also has the compute power for demanding creative and AI workloads. It targets enthusiasts and professionals who want near-top-tier performance and NVIDIA's latest feature set.
