Dell has recently introduced another RTX 5080 configuration featuring an Intel Core Ultra 9 285 processor. This model, with a max turbo frequency of 5.6GHz and 24 cores, offers similar gaming performance to the Ultra 7 but excels in rendering and productivity applications thanks to the additional cores.

The GeForce RTX 5080 GPU will run any game in 4K

The RTX 5080 stands as the second most powerful graphics card from the Blackwell series, just behind the RTX 5090 priced at $2,000. It offers a 5%-10% performance increase over the now-discontinued RTX 4080 Super. With the introduction of DLSS 4 and multi-frame generation, exclusive to Blackwell cards, the performance gap becomes even more pronounced in supported games.

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 doesn’t make a lot of sense – it just doesn’t have much of a performance lead over the RTX 4080, though the extra frames from DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation do make things look better in games that support it. However, for gamers with an older graphics card who want a significant performance boost, the RTX 5080 absolutely provides – doubly so if you’re comfortable with Nvidia’s AI goodies."
