The RTX 5080 Founders Edition uses the same lovely shroud as the top RTX Blackwell card, and brings the same DLSS/MFG feature set to the table. But that's all that is really setting the second-tier card apart from the RTX 4080 Super as the gen-on-gen performance difference is marginal at best.
Review: Nvidia’s $999 GeForce RTX 5080 falls disappointingly short of the 4090
The best argument for grabbing a 5080 right now, if you can find one at $999 in the first place, is that the only cards that come close to its performance are either way more expensive than they're supposed to be (the 4080 Super) or not cheap enough to justify the Nvidia-specific features you give up (AMD's Radeon 7900 XTX).
Don't overreact just yet, but an early review hints at the RTX 5080 potentially making only slight performance jumps over the ...
the RTX 4090 Founder’s Edition, as well as the RTX 4080 Super Founders Edition. For AMD cards, we included the two top-line RDNA 3 cards, the RX 7900 XTX and RX 7900 XT for comparison.
