ASUS GeForce RTX 5080 ProArt 16GB GDDR7

78 out of 100 low confidence 9 reviews

The ASUS TUF Gaming RTX 5080 is widely praised for its raw performance, especially in 4K gaming, with many users noting it handles demanding titles effortlessly. Overclocking potential is impressive, with one user achieving a 3.3 GHz boost while staying cool at 67-68°C. However, the high price is a recurring concern, and one unit arrived dead on arrival, requiring a replacement. Overall, it's recommended for those with the budget, particularly for upgrades from older generations like the RTX 3090 or earlier.

Pros
  • Excellent 4K gaming performance
  • Impressive overclocking potential
  • Runs cool under load (67-68°C)
  • Great value compared to higher-end models

Cons
  • High price point
