The RTX 5080 is one of the new Blackwell graphics cards that are highly sought after and difficult to find. In our Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 FE review, Jackie notes, "If you already have a high-end graphics card from the last couple of years, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 might not be the upgrade you're looking for – it doesn't significantly outperform the RTX 4080, though the enhanced visuals from DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation are noticeable in supported games. However, if you're upgrading from an older GPU, the RTX 5080 offers a substantial performance boost, especially if you're keen on leveraging Nvidia’s AI enhancements."

RTX 5080 and 5090 GPUs Are Sold Out Everywhere
