Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 FE Review, by Jacqueline Thomas
"For those with a high-end graphics card from recent years, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 may not feel like a huge leap, offering only a modest performance edge over the RTX 4080. However, DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation enhances visuals in supported games. For gamers upgrading from older GPUs, the RTX 5080 delivers a significant performance boost, especially for those leveraging NVIDIA’s AI-driven features."
