GIGABYTE AORUS GeForce RTX 5080 MASTER 16G Video Card

This review is evaluating the GIGABYTE AORUS GeForce RTX 5080 MASTER 16G Video Card video card. This card represents the flagship card in the GIGABYTE lineup for the RTX 5080 category. The build quality and attention to detail is obvious. The cooling functions superbly. There is just enough RGB and an added LCD screen makles a nice touch. The overclocking ability of this card is very good. Overall game performance is lackluster and does take away from an otherwise excellent video card. Pricing is a bit lofty for the performance and is a consideration as well.
