Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 FE Review, by Jacqueline Thomas

"If you already have a high-end graphics card from the last couple of years, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 might not be a significant upgrade – the performance lead over the RTX 4080 is modest, though DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation does enhance visuals in compatible games. However, for gamers upgrading from older GPUs, the RTX 5080 offers a substantial performance boost, especially if you're keen on leveraging Nvidia's AI enhancements."
