RTX 5080 Only 10% more powerful than RTX 4080 Super

[HexTheVoid]

Pros:

• DLSS 4 Frame Generation and Transformer Upscaling
• $200 cheaper than RTX 4080 non-Super MSRP
• No price increase over RTX 4080 Super MSRP
• Compact dual-slot design
• Extremely energy-efficient
• Idle fan-stop
• Support for HDMI 2.1 & DisplayPort 2.1
• PCI-Express 5.0
• Good video encode/decode hardware acceleration support

Cons:

• Only small performance improvements gen-over-gen (except for multi-frame generation)
• Very high idle/multi-monitor/video playback power consumption
• Fans could be a bit quieter
• Memory overclocking artificially limited by the driver

Pair that with the lack of availability that's expected, this generation may bomb

It sounds like the RTX 5080 Ti and RTX 5090 will be the right Nvidia GPU's to get.
