Building for the first time this is a great card, people just expected better improvement over the 4000 series
You will be very happy with a 5080 build

And even then that's ignoring the fact that the 4090 can also be overclocked.

This reminds me of 2080 vs 1080 where the raster wasn't much better, but it had raytracing.
Or maybe it was 2080 ti vs 1080 ti. Can't remember lol

2080 to 3080 was a nice jump at 700$. And that's how much I''ve paid for it. Adjusted for inflation, it's still cheaper than 5080.
1080 to 2080 was maybe not that much faster but good enough and introduced RT and dlss. I remember I've bought 2070 ESPECIALLY FOR METRO EXODUS.
A buddy got 2070 and I had 1060 at the time, He brought that shit over, I tried metro exodus "yep" and ordered one for myself

Yeah I feel this is a small bump in performance but they added fake frames as the selling point lol.

yeah.. 1060 to 2070 was amazing jump.
Then jump to 3080 was incredible. Like I was so impressed. that 3080 was a fucking beast on release week. I remember watching exciting OC videos, running benchmarks (I love benchmarks) and it genuinely excited me.
But covid destroyed pc parts market and we still feel it today

I can see a 5080s even if everyone thought the gb203 die is maxed out in 5080.
Just cheap tweaks to clocks and use 3gb nand for 24gb vram.
Reminds me of 4870 to 4890
ATI Radeon HD 4890: Playing To Win Or Played Again?
ATI's "sweet spot strategy" served it well throughout 2008, allowing it to re-purpose the RV770 architecture from the mainstream to high-end markets. Now ATI is looking to refresh that game plan with RV790, a new GPU based on an already-popular design.
Jensen wins again.

The 5070ti offers the best value, but I just can't imagine people saving up to buy an RTX 5090. I think the RTX 5090 is only for people who are loaded with money and who dont consider $2000-3000 price point expensive
.Personally If I were thinking of buying a GPU right now, I would choose the 5080 over the 5070ti even though it's value isnt very good. The RTX 5080 has big overclocking potential, and it's often as fast as the RTX 4090 when overclocked and that's very nice. The price difference between the RTX 5070 Ti and the RTX 5080 is maybe big for young people who need savings to buy a GPU, but for my wallet it's still within a acceptable margin. I would however never consider getting the RTX5090. $2000-3000 is just too much for a gaming GPU ni matter how you look at it and it's not like 5090 will drastically change gaming experience compared to 5080 (with just DLSSQ the 5080 gets similar performance as 5090 at native). However, the 5090 makes sense for professional use, so I can understand why people might want the best.

As Daniel have said even at MSRP 5080 is 33% more expensive for 15% more performance but with current prices it's 50% more expensive (in US, in Poland it's over 30%). Of course you can overclock 5080 but at the same time shit isn't guaranteed and cooler may be not able to handle more power without getting very loud.
Right now the best "higher end" options are: used 4080/4080S, new 5070ti or new 9070XT. 4090 and 5090 are in entirely different segment.
And if someone have good enough GPU right now (for example 3080ti/3090, 7900XT/XTX) - they can just wait for RDNA5 (that is gonna be quite good I think) or 6xxx series from Nv, it can't possible worse than Blackwell?

I saw "framechasers" YT review and FE model (5080) was OC'ing like a beast even though FE has limited power budget. I also saw other reviews and you dont even need good AIB model to keep this chip cool and OC it to 4090 levels (stock level, because of course the 4090 can be also OC'ed).
In my opinion, paying 33% more for an additional 20% performance is worth it, but of course it all depends on perspective (and wallet size
). YouTuber Framechaser overclocked the 4080S, 5070ti and 5080 to the maximum. Even then, the 5080 was still 20% faster than both 4080S and 5070ti and could often match the RTX 4090, which currently costs twice as much.

The FE was supposedly available on Nvidia website earlier.
If it had 24GB VRAM for that price, I would bite, but 16GB is nothing.

yeah, its been available all week. very tempting but im going to hold and wait for a price drop.
should be $800 max.

at least in the u.s, the 5080's $999 model has been available on bestbuy for over a week now. its only a matter of time other GPU manufacturers start reducing prices. Yes, at $1,400 its retarded but at $999, its the best value.

You really think it will drop that far?
SlimySnake

there was an article recently that alluded to it.
they took down the article but i think it will drop. i go to microcenter every other week and all these GPUs have been in stock for months. They are all overpriced and the shelves are always full. no one is buying this overpriced shit. people have wised up.
remember 4080 also got a $200 price cut by nvidia. down from $1,200 to $1,000. i see the same happening for the 5080. especially seeing how the $999 model hasnt sold out in a week.

$999 for 16GB, passssss. Might wait for the 24GB.

The gap between 5080 and 5090 is so fucking huge.
As someone who likes to use texture mods 16 gigabyte VRAM is too little at 4k.
But it is what is Nvidia has no competitors.

Personally I think Nvidia will stop manufacturing to sell down the inventory and pivot to the Super.
And go for the $1200 MSRP with 24GB VRAM as justification.

Was planning to skip the whole 5xxx series of course this went easily with the help of the insane prices most of the year...
But now I'm grabbing one after all now that all the RAM madness started and questions whether Super will drop at all... as in better safe than sorry. Don't want to gamble once again waiting what's gonna happen next year with the whole PC market.
After looking around this week, seeing some decent deals for legit retail price I found the MSI Gaming Trio one replacing 4070Ti. Extra performance is great but mainly I just really need that more VRAM for the 4K OLED along with and with my old 1080p one often used as 2nd monitor.

I'm certainly glad I bought mine earlier this year. Things are not looking great for GPUs in 2026 and beyond.

I have a 4070 and i'm still happy with this card but i hope when i have to upgrade in 2027-2028 the prices will stabilize itself somehow.
But you don't need a new Graphics card for a good amount of time with your 5080.

That's the plan anyway. We will see in a couple of years how it all shakes out. It has been a wild ride the last few years from Covid to crypto to tariffs to AI.

Yeah I pulled the trigger a few weeks ago and ordered a 5080 to pair with a 9800x3D. I was gonna wait for the rumored 5080 Super, but things are looking weird out there.
I mean I wish I had more vram, but there's honestly nothing wrong with 16gb these days. Even my 3080 10gb is able to play most new games at 1440p on High at decent frame rates. Though admittedly Black Myth Wukong was the first game to finally sink me to sub 60fps in some areas.

Yeah still a bit more that I was planning to spend originally.. but I guess could go with 5070 Ti with the VRAM but fuck it.
Problem is this thing kinda already happened with 3xxx series during covid times. I got an 1440p monitor and was really waiting for the new 3080 then all went shit so I got an overpriced 3070Ti. Then soon felt 8Gb was not ideal so went for the 4070ti with free Diablo 4 at the time before release because agian 4080 cards were kinda expensive.
Now last year I had to jump on one of them 4k 240 OLED monitors, still with 4070Ti it was mostly fine on DLSSS performance but recently I often do 1440p still just for the high framerates mainly in UE5 games. With mentioned 2nd monitor the 12Gb VRAM is already crippled sometimes. Anyway kinda fuck Nvidia for always skimping on VRAM, we already know some of their cards would last way much better if they had decent amounts. Anyway this is what it is, not playing the waiting game and yes I also think 16Gb should be fine for a while now, especially is all goes shit then no next gen consoles anytime soon either to worry about.

I mean you may as well. The online market is extremely volatile at the moment and it is known that the inventory is taking a huge dump especially in the first quarter of the year. Cheapest one I can find nearby myself is $2800 but that is(if you can find them at this price) water cooled territory. If I get to guess, baseline will probably be sitting over $3k in a few weeks for a 5090

I'm considering it, but everything I play doesn't even come close to needing that kind of performance with DLSS Performance and/or frame generation. Still, in a few years, who knows? Don't wanna see a 6090 for $4000 either.

The necrobump on this thread the past couple of days got me to pull the trigger on a 5070ti, when previously I had no intention of upgrading.
I have a 3080 (10gb version), and while I could game at 4k 60fps for most games, I started hitting the VRAM limit on certain games like Stalker 2, MGS Delta, and Indiana Jones.
The 5070ti has 16gb of VRAM, and about a 30% pure raster increase over the 3080 before adding in DLSS 4 and Frame Gen capability where the 3000 series does not. This, combined with the rumors about VRAM shortages, the 5000 Super series being delayed or canceled, the 6000 series being delayed, plus a small financial windfall, and I can finally justify it to myself.

Keep that 4090. Take that $1,000 and buy stock, take the wife in a trip, new monitor, etc
Highly doubt you'll feel the 30% increase.

I have a 5090 and the best way to describe the difference is this.... The 4090 can allow max settings in cyberpunk with path tracing enabled at 1080p native and 60fps. The 5090 can enable the same experience at 1440p at 60fps. Since you'll have to use DLSS either way to get to 4k, it's not really worth it.

That's pretty much what I'm doing. I want a 5090 because of VRAM price increase fear, but I'm settling with my 4090 and will ride it out. My parents have the kids this holiday weekend and we're doing winery + disney. Feels like a better use of my money.

I was tempted to get the 5090, but all those reports of melting cables got me paranoid.
Good move. One of the rare times I can say patience is not a virture on this one. I won't get my 5080 build til Mid-January but I can't wait to play RE9 Requiem and Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis at 4k.

I'm kinda surprised so many people bought the 5080. It was either 5090 or 5070ti for me. The 5080 was like 10% faster but didn't offer more vram. However, in my neck of the woods it was almost 50% more expensive when comparing the cheapest models. Also the 5080 didn't really do much that the 5070ti couldn't do.
In the end, i just decided if I was going to pay the price difference, I should get an experience that I can't get on the 5070ti. The performance gap between the 5080 and 5090 is like 50+%. It gets even wider the more raytracing you do. Will the 6080 be faster than the 5090? I'm not so sure so, the 5090 could hold it's value well.

6000 series is expected to be on a node shrink, so the leap is possible.
