Starting this week, Dell is rolling out a new RTX 5080 configuration featuring the Intel Core Ultra 9 285 processor, which boasts a max turbo frequency of 5.6GHz and 24 cores.

The GeForce RTX 5080 GPU will run any game in 4K

The RTX 5080 stands as the second most powerful Blackwell graphics card, only outshined by the $2,000 RTX 5090. It's about 5%-10% faster than the now-discontinued RTX 4080 Super. In games that support the new DLSS 4 with multi-frame generation, exclusive to Blackwell cards, the performance difference becomes even more pronounced.

Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 FE Review, by Jacqueline Thomas

"If you already own a high-end graphics card from recent years, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 might not offer a significant leap forward – its performance edge over the RTX 4080 is modest, although the additional frames from DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation enhance the visual experience in compatible games. However, for gamers upgrading from older graphics cards seeking a substantial performance boost, the RTX 5080 is a compelling choice, especially if you're keen on utilizing Nvidia's AI enhancements."
