The RTX 5080 marks Nvidia’s second highest tier of consumer GPU for the Blackwell architecture, focusing on new neural rendering techniques and enhanced versions of features like DLSS upscaling and the new DLSS 4 Multi Frame Generation. With many of these features available on previous gen RTX cards, and others currently only available in a small number of titles, is there enough reason to buy one?
