GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 5080 Gaming OC 16G Graphics Card, WINDFORCE Cooling System, 16GB 256-bit GDDR7, GV-N5080GAMING OC-16GD Video Card

Upgraded from a RTX 3080 12GB with AIO cooler. Firstly, this card is HUGE. I had to relocate the front radiator fans in my case to the outside of the case (which worked fine btw). It's a MSI MPG GUNGNIR 110R mid-tower case, which I think is pretty standard as far as design and size. Second point, this GPU stays COOL. I was pretty concerned that I'd have to purchase an AIO, since the 3080 I upgraded from cooled so much better with one. AIO unnecessary here! Stays right around 60°C at full load, ~65°C after 4-5 hour heat soak in an 85°F room. But it stays cool because of the massive heat pipe/radiator fin setup on it, which is why it's such a huge card. Third point, it's very quiet. If I force it to full fan speed, you can hear it, but even then it's nothing crazy loud in my opinion. It also has never needed to go full speed to cool on it's own. Stays quiet and cool for long periods of 100% GPU load. I use it for 4K gaming while 4K streaming/recording, and highly modified games like Cyberpunk. I was skeptical of frame gen, but at 2x-3x it's barely noticeable quality-wise. 4x and it starts to look bad. DLSS works fine without the frame gen too. As far as raw power (No DLSS, No frame gen), it can pull 60FPS at 4K on a maxed out demanding title. Lastly, price. Was it worth the upgrade? These prices are nuts. Plus I had to upgrade the rest of my 4 year old system so this GPU wouldn't be bottlenecked. But it is what it is, prices aren't ever going back down. This was a huge upgrade from a very capable 3080. I could still return and refund all of it, and I have no plans to do so.

I just received this card 24 hours ago, and if anything changes I'll update this review. I upgraded from an eVGA 3090 Ti to this and I'm extremely pleased with the results. It's obviously a solid improvement over what I had, and fit in my case (Hyte Y70) with no issues whatsoever. The card is pretty chonky so make sure you have the room to fit it, installation was a breeze and all I needed to do after the usual installation faffing around was to do a clean install of the drivers to support the 5080, that was all handled well by the Nvidia app and I'm plenty happy with how that all went. Performance is fantastic, and it's incredibly easy to overclock. I overclocked the GPU with the Gigabyte utility in just a few clicks and it runs absolutely beautifully at 3150MHz on the GPU and 3000MHz on the memory (stock). No problems, no crashes it just works. If you're coming from a 3000 series card like I was this is a solid investment and I highly recommend this as an upgrade. Even if you don't overclock this I think you'll be plenty happy with it's performance improvement over your 3000 series card. I can't comment on improvement over an equivalent 4000 series card personally, but I've heard the 5080 doesn't offer much increased performance over the 4080 for the money. But that said, I can only quote what I have heard from several sources. If I had one complaint, the RGB on the card is pretty lack luster. Even at full brightness the fan LED's are pretty unimpressive, and the LED's on the top aren't anything to write home about either. If you're looking for a blinging card with a lot of RGB this card is definitely not that. But if you're more concerned about price to performance this is a good option among the larger more well known brands. I also didn't see anything in a comparison that said the Aorus Master was any better performing, and it's $100 more for some lights and a screen you'll never really need. This seemed like the better option since I already had enough LEDs in my case. At this point I highly recommend this card for anyone upgrading or otherwise seriously considering a solid 5080 solution.

I love this card so much. It runs silently and stays cool no matter what I throw at it. 2k gaming at max settings on every game, whisper quiet and barely breaks a sweat. Very cool tech.

L'articolo è arrivato nella scatola aperta, con i sigilli della protezione antistatica aperti, mancava l'adattatore 12v-2x16 per alimentare la GPU, la protezione del connettore Pci-Express era in fondo alla scatola e mancavano le protezioni per le porte DP e HDMI. Una scheda palesemente usata. Resa subito.

Ein Brett von einer Grafikkarte 👌🏻Alle Erwartungen erfüllt ich bin mehr als zufrieden! Super kühl und leise unter Last. Würde sie wieder kaufen!

tres bonne carte graphique, apres plusieurs mois d'utilisation, vraiment rien a dire elle est top !

Nice design, pretty quiet, run cool. Good model for OC with cap TDP at 125% in afterburner.

Ordered as a new product after 1 week waiting i received a surprise box with a used product in a box almost Destroyed
