Starting this week, Dell offers another RTX 5080 configuration with an Intel Core Ultra 9 285 processor. This CPU boasts a max turbo frequency of 5.6GHz and 24 cores, which, while similar to the Ultra 7 for gaming, excels in rendering and productivity tasks due to its additional cores.

The GeForce RTX 5080 GPU Will Run Any Game in 4K

The RTX 5080 is Nvidia's second-best Blackwell graphics card, only surpassed by the RTX 5090. It's approximately 5%-10% faster than the discontinued RTX 4080 Super. In games that support the new DLSS 4 with multi-frame generation, exclusive to Blackwell cards, the performance difference is even more noticeable.

Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 FE Review, by Jacqueline Thomas

"If you already have a high-end graphics card from the last couple of years, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 doesn’t make a lot of sense – it just doesn’t have much of a performance lead over the RTX 4080, though the extra frames from DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation do make things look better in games that support it. However, for gamers with an older graphics card who want a significant performance boost, the RTX 5080 absolutely provides – doubly so if you’re comfortable with Nvidia’s AI goodies."
