AORUS GeForce RTX 5080 MASTER 16G sits at the top of Gigabyte\u2019s air-cooled RTX 5080 lineup. The side LCD on the cooler shroud stands out, and the box even includes a fourth fan. Build quality is robust and premium, and the stock overclock is higher than you usually see on OC variants. Not everything is perfect, though\u2014the out-of-the-box fan tuning could be better, and those extras do push up the price.<\/p>\n

I guess don’t need to introduce the GeForce RTX 5080 anymore. A detailed description of the new technologies brought by Nvidia\u2019s new graphics cards has been compiled by Jan Ol\u0161an in the article Blackwell: GeForce RTX 5000 architecture and innovations<\/a>. It introduces the individual graphics chips Nvidia is using in the new cards, the new GDDR7<\/strong> memory type, and also covers changes in cache memory, GPU compute units, updates to shaders and tensor cores, as well as improved compute units for ray tracing. The new generation of GeForce also brings support for new standards such as DisplayPort 2.1b<\/strong> and PCI Express 5.0<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

With the new generation of cards, DLSS capabilities are evolving as well. It now supports Multi Frame Generation<\/strong>, which allows the generation of up to three intermediate frames, and introduces Nvidia Reflex 2, the second generation of its latency-reduction technology. This includes Frame Warp<\/strong>, which adjusts object and camera motion in rendered frames based on the player’s most recent input device movement data received just before the already rendered frame is displayed. A more detailed explanation can be found in the aforementioned article.<\/p>\n

The GeForce RTX 5080 is not new; we have already tested several models on HWCooling:<\/p>\n
