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.

On GeForce cards, you can also enable the generally superior DLSS, which reconstructs images using AI from lower-sample frames through super resolution. For RT Ultra, we use DLAA and the Balanced mode; for RT Overdrive with path tracing, both DLAA and DLSS in Performance mode are used. GeForce RTX 40 cards support generation of an intermediate frame, and the RTX 50 series is also tested in Multi Frame Generation x4 mode, which inserts three generated frames between two rendered ones, increasing frame rates several-fold.
