Nvidia’s RTX 5080 might be only slightly faster than the RTX 4080 Super without DLSS, if this leaked review is genuine

An early review of the highly anticipated Nvidia RTX 5080 suggests that the performance boost over the RTX 4080 Super may not be as significant as expected. The review from Igor’sLAB indicates only an 8.3% average performance increase without ray tracing or DLSS at 1440p resolution, based on tests in games like Cyberpunk 2077. While these results are not conclusive, they raise questions about the value of upgrading to the RTX 5080 from the RTX 4080 Super, especially considering the similar price point. With the impending lift of the review embargo, gamers are advised to wait for more real-world performance tests before making a decision. Additionally, the impact of DLSS 4 on both GPUs and its potential to enhance frame rates significantly is yet to be fully understood. For those considering an upgrade, a cautious approach is recommended to assess the true benefits, particularly for users of ultrawide resolutions who may expect more substantial improvements.
