NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 GPU Family Specifications

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 Founders Edition is NVIDIA's new generation Blackwell architecture at the $999 price point. The GeForce RTX 5080 Founders Edition has an appealing cooling design, that is beautifully designed, and efficient in cooling and size. The GeForce RTX 5080 FE underwhelms in performance and seems a minor uplift over the previous generation at this price point in terms of the gameplay experience delivered. Its redeeming value is providing slightly better performance, at the same price point as the previous generation, and would provide a solid upgrade from generations prior to the GeForce RTX 40 series.
