The GeForce RTX 5080 GPU Handles Any Game in 4K

In terms of performance, the RTX 5080 is exceptional. It ranks among the fastest graphics cards available, surpassed only by the $2,000 RTX 5090 and the now-discontinued $1,600 RTX 4090. This GPU is perfect for playing the latest, most graphically intense games at 4K resolution with high settings and ray tracing enabled. The RTX 5080 supports DLSS 4 with multi-frame generation, allowing you to achieve even higher frame rates in supported games with minimal impact on visual quality. Recent titles supporting this technology include Doom: The Dark Ages, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Borderlands 4, Stellar Blade, and Battlefield 6.
