ZOTAC GeForce RTX 5080 SOLID CORE 16GB GDDR7
The 10752 CUDA cores and 2617 MHz boost clock on the Blackwell architecture drive strong 4K gaming performance, complemented by 16GB of GDDR7 memory on a 256-bit bus. Its triple-fan cooler manages the 360W TDP within a compact 2.5-slot, 304mm design, making it a practical fit for many cases. This card is best for 4K gamers who prioritize high frame rates and ray tracing but don't require top-tier AI compute performance.
