The prices of the top-tier GeForce RTX 5090 cards are extremely high, so for most gamers, the GeForce RTX 5080 is likely the fastest graphics card they’re seriously considering. With no real alternatives nearby, the price range for the RTX 5080 varies widely. Premium models are pricey, and if you want more than a budget model, you’ll likely end up with a card like the TUF GeForce RTX 5080. Apparently, it should’ve been cheaper, but it’s still a safe bet.
Clocks, Temperatures & Fan Speeds – F1 24 (Q mode)
The next tests are from the F1 24 benchmark at 3840 × 2160 resolution using Ultra settings. This benchmark runs five laps on the Singapore map in wet conditions. Unlike other benchmarks, the load is continuous, with no relief between loops, so the card remains warm throughout.
The performance dropped by only 0,1 fps.
The average clock speed dropped marginally from 2789 to 2774 MHz – again, a negligible difference.
Power consumption, as per monitoring (light green line), stayed around 350 W – still below the paper-spec 360 W limit. However, the card appears to be throttled exactly by that limit, as reflected in the stable light green curve.
The system’s average power consumption was 482.3 W.
The peak temperature of the heated GPU reached 72 °C, with memory temperatures at 76 °C.
Maximum fan speeds hovered around just 1270 RPM. If that’s still too much for you, there’s room to reduce it further.
Diagnostic data again confirms the clock speeds are constrained by power limits.
