Dell has recently introduced another RTX 5080 configuration featuring an Intel Core Ultra 9 285 processor with a max turbo frequency of 5.6GHz and 24 cores. While this setup provides similar gaming performance to the Ultra 7 model, it excels in rendering and productivity applications that benefit from additional cores.

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

The RTX 5080 stands as the second-best Blackwell graphics card, only outclassed by the $2,000 RTX 5090. It outperforms the now-discontinued RTX 4080 Super by 5%-10%. In games utilizing the new DLSS 4 with multi-frame generation, a feature exclusive to Blackwell cards, the performance difference is even more pronounced.

Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 FE Review, by Jacqueline Thomas

"If you already own a high-end graphics card from recent years, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 might not offer a significant upgrade – its performance edge over the RTX 4080 is minimal, though the enhanced visuals from DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation are noticeable in supported games. However, if you're upgrading from an older graphics card and seeking a substantial performance boost, the RTX 5080 is a fantastic choice, especially if you're keen on leveraging Nvidia's AI enhancements."
