Our latest review of the RTX 5080 GPU reveals that its performance is nearly identical to the RTX 4080 Super. Unfortunately, finding the RTX 5080 in stock is challenging, and prebuilt systems featuring it are priced over $2,500. If you're considering an upgrade, we recommend looking into the RTX 40-series GPUs.

The Intel Core Ultra 5, part of the latest Intel Meteor Lake series, is a 14-core CPU with a max turbo frequency of 5.2GHz. It's highly efficient, AI-optimized thanks to its discrete NPU, and consumes less power than its predecessors. While you can upgrade to a Core Ultra 7 or 9, the performance boost for high-resolution gaming is minimal as it's primarily GPU-bound.
The RTX 4080 Super, Nvidia's second most powerful RTX 40 series card, excels at 4K gaming with high frame rates, even with ray tracing enabled. It offers a 5-10% performance boost over the RTX 4080 due to its higher base clock speed, increased CUDA core count, and greater memory bandwidth. It competes closely with AMD's Radeon RX 7900 XTX but surpasses it in ray tracing and DLSS 3.0 performance. Its performance is nearly identical to the RTX 5080, with the same VRAM capacity.
Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 Super Review by Jacqueline Thomas
"The Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 Super, like its predecessor, the RTX 4080, is a powerhouse for 4K gaming. It delivers exceptional performance at this resolution, particularly when using Nvidia's DLSS. Even in games without DLSS or ray tracing, such as Total War: Warhammer 3, the RTX 4080 Super achieves an impressive 79fps at 4K, compared to 76fps for the RTX 4080 and 86fps for the AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX."
