Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 review: performance worthy of the name?

Digital Foundry tests the GeForce RTX 5080. On this page: we introduce our test system, benchmarking methodology and initial impressions.

Power is supplied by the now standard (for Nvidia) 12VHPWR socket on the top, while video outputs consist of an HDMI 2.1 port along with three DisplayPort 2.1s. Adding on a couple of hundred pounds or dollars brings us back into the dark days of 2022, where the RTX 4080 arrived at an unbelievable $1199/£1189. Thankfully, utilisation does not scale in a linear manner with specs, so the gaming performance gap between them closes up.
