Nvidia RTX 5080 Review: Worth the Upgrade from 4080 Super?

Nvidia RTX 5090 GPU

Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 5080 has arrived, replacing the RTX 4080 Super at the same $999 price.

While it may look similar at first glance, Blackwell architecture, improved ray tracing, faster memory, and AI-focused enhancements make it a more forward-thinking GPU. But is it worth upgrading?

Performance Breakdown

On paper, the RTX 5080 offers modest gains over its predecessor:

  • Rasterization: 10-15% improvement
  • Ray tracing: 20% boost
  • AI performance (FP4 format): Over twice the speed
  • Memory bandwidth: 30% increase with GDDR7

In real-world gaming, most titles see an 8-18% performance increase at 4K, except for Cyberpunk 2077, where Nvidia’s Multi Frame Generation (MFG) technology doubles frame rates.

However, MFG relies on AI-generated frames, meaning perceived smoothness doesn’t fully match native FPS.

Should You Upgrade?

New PC build? Yes, the RTX 5080 is the better buy.

Already own an RTX 4080 Super? Not necessarily—the generational leap is smaller than expected unless you’re focused on AI workloads or ray-traced gaming.

Nvidia’s Blackwell advancements are future-focused, but for today’s games, the RTX 5080 is more of an evolution than a revolution.
