In the latest tech news, purported Nvidia RTX 5080 Geekbench results have surfaced, indicating a potential 20% performance increase compared to the RTX 4080. However, the RTX 5080 falls short when pitted against the older RTX 4090 in certain aspects. The RTX 5090 has already been reviewed and proven to be a powerful GPU, although it may be considered overkill for some users.

The attention now shifts to the eagerly awaited RTX 5080, with imminent reviews on the horizon. Benchleaks has revealed alleged Geekbench scores for the RTX 5080, showing impressive performance in Vulkan but lagging behind in OpenCL tests. While these synthetic benchmarks offer some insights, real-world gaming tests remain crucial to determine the GPU’s actual gaming capabilities.

Rumors suggest that the RTX 5080 could deliver a significant performance boost, especially in games supporting DLSS 4 and Nvidia’s new frame generation technology. Despite the expected performance gains, Nvidia has reportedly lowered the MSRP for the RTX 5080 to $999, making it relatively more affordable than its predecessor, the RTX 4080.

The RTX 5080 is scheduled for release on January 30, alongside the RTX 5090, with other models to follow in February. However, due to potential supply constraints, securing the new GPU might prove challenging. Stay tuned for updates on stock availability and pricing for the latest Nvidia RTX graphics cards.
