NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080

Released in 2025, the GeForce RTX 5080 is a GPU from NVIDIA. According to our GPU Benchmark, this GPU is an incredible card for gaming with a score of 24070 points.

The GeForce RTX 5080 has 16 GiB of GDDR7 memory, with a total memory bandwidth of 937 GB/s. The memory bus has a width of 256 bits. More memory is beneficial when gaming at high resolutions as the memory needs to store the frame buffer and all the game textures. If you run out of memory, you will experience poor performance as the GPU needs to swap data in and out of the memory as it is used.

In terms of clock speed, the GeForce RTX 5080 GPU core runs at a frequency of 2295 MHz and if power and temperature permits, it can boost up to 2617 MHz. The core clock is directly related to the performance of a GPU, the higher the clock, the more processing can be done per second. A higher clock does not guarantee better performance by itself, this also depends on the number of shading units and other elements of the pipeline.

As for rendering API support, the GeForce RTX 5080 supports up to DirectX 12.00. In addition, in cross-platform titles, OpenGL 4.60 features are supported. If your GPU is too old and doesn't support a newer API certain titles may not be playable.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 has a TDP of 360W, this is the amount of heat energy produced by the chip as a byproduct. The higher the TDP, the more heat is produced.
