For the new RTX 5080s sake, you almostwantit to be boring.
Particularly, if youve got the 4K monitor to take full advantage of it.
Its certainly a more sensible buy than the RTX 5090 for high-rez gamesplaying.

Its GPU temperature high of 64c was a good nine degrees cooler the 5090 as well.
That would improve visual smoothness even more while touching up responsivity.
That said, its worth waiting for the RTX 5070 and RTX 5070 Ti at this stage.

Then again, there is a case for 2x frame gen in some games.
OrAMDs Radeon RX 9070, maybe.
For 4K, anyway, the RTX 5080 is the one to beat.
Is it as lovable as that poor, reseller-abused RTX 3080?
Not so much a bigger jump up from the RTX 4080 Super would have been appreciated.
Tech that can help it leave the RTX 4090 behind, let alone those 4080s.

This review is based on a retail unit provided by the manufacturer.
