Posted on 2025-01-31 19:24:32 by Thomas De Maesschalck"With every graphics card launch the flagship card steals most of the coverage and praise. This time around with NVIDIA's Blackwell graphics architecture that is of course the GeForce RTX 5090. Reviews of that card launched last week and you can draw your own conclusions. One of the biggest criticisms of the RTX 5090 is of course the price. Well the RTX 5080 is next on the launch list for NVIDIA's RTX 50 series and it essentially cuts that price in half, making it a more feasible card for gamers. The GeForce RTX 5080 is based on NVIDIA's GB203 silicon and brings with it 10752 CUDA cores, 84 RT cores, 336 Tensor cores, 336 TMUs, and 84 ROPs. When it comes to memory you are going to get 16GB of GDDR7 that runs across a 256-bit bus. The card will have a base clock of 2295 MHz and will boost up to 2617 MHz. For our first RTX 5080 card will be checking out the MSI GeForce RTX 5080 Vanguard SOC Launch Edition. Vanguard is actually a new line from MSI this generation is really made for people who want a high performance card this is quite flashy and will stand out. This card does comes with a factory overclock, boosting up to 2730 MHz by default. Let's take a look and see if this is the RTX 5080 you need to get!"
