RTX 5080 Performance Leak: 10% Better Than 4090? But What About 5090?

[@michalrv3066]

Price: £1500. VRAM sold separately.

[@Lurch-Bot]

ROTFL. But, yeah, about time they start putting SODIMM slots on GPUs. I think it will be AMD who clues into that one because they are budget oriented. You buy your GPU now with 8GB and then progressively upgrade by adding GDDR on SODIMM boards until you get to 32GB and then when you need more, the core will probably be obsolete by that point. You'll get a new GPU with 32GB and progressively upgrade to 128GB. And by that point, WWIII will have happened and the only gaming you'll be doing is playing Red Menace on your RobCo Pip Boy. Back when I built my first PC in 1995, you could upgrade the RAM on your video card. I'm planning to get into VRAM modding GPUs because there are a lot of great used GPUs out there that just simply don't have enough VRAM. Like the 3070, for example. But the current way of doing it is difficult (impossible for the majority of people) because you have to have SMT rework skills and also coding skills in some cases because a lot of GPUs will need a custom BIOS if you increase VRAM.

There is still competition up to the RTX 5080 or so. I think that if the RTX 5080 is around 10% faster than the 4090 that the RTX 4090 used would be at least some competition at that level. The RTX 5090 will also have competition from the lower priced cards. Although they won't be in the same tier of performance, they are alternatives that are cheaper. Let's be real here, nobody needs RTX 5090 levels of performance for gaming. At least not yet. And also, the 90 class cards usually have no competition in terms of similar performing cards anyway. The RX 6900 XT was close to the 3090, but the 7900 xtx wasn't so close to the 4090.

I am not sure where they are getting that 10% bump of performance between the 5080 and the 4090, on paper the 5080 is a much weaker card. I would say perhaps in DLSS performance but the 5080 has even less Tensor cores and RT cores than the 4090. The fact they are ceasing production of the 4090, it should give you an idea that they don't want the 4090 to cast a shadow on the 5080. I believe the 4090 will live in between the 5090 and the 5080 for quite some time.

Would be kind of odd if a 5080 with just 10,700 cores and lower memory bandwidth beating a RTX 4090 with 16,500 cores and higher memory bandwidth. Especially if the clock speeds aren't dramatically higher. Then again, maybe there is some major architecture change that benefit gaming. That said if it is faster, well technically all other generations have them on par at least. I am happy with my 4090 because all games I have played I have maxed out and played usually way above 80fps. And using DLSS and Frame gen it's most of the time hitting my max 120hz. I am fine with gaming at 60fps VRR for SP games. So I have so many ways to remain maxed out for the next two years until 6000 series. This makes the 4090 ironically a cheaper price than when I upgraded every 2 years. If 5080 beats 4090 with the rumored specs. Then the 5090 will be absolute beast mode again like 4090 was.
