The RTX 5080 is, on paper, a weaker card than the RTX 4090, with around 50% fewer CUDA cores, fewer RT and Tensor cores (albeit from a later generation), 50% less memory, and a narrower memory bus.

We may see RTX 5080 Super and RTX 5070 Super GPUs coming as soon as this year, with 24GB and 18GB of GDDR7 VRAM, respectively. Plus, these new variants could deliver somewhere between 7% to 15% ...

To give a simple answer: No, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 can't muscle past the RTX 4090 in terms of gaming performance. But for those who want to nerd out over the numbers, we'll dig into them below.

Nvidia’s RTX 5080 is in extremely short supply, and so is its direct competitor, AMD’s 9070 XT. Despite that, the RTX 5080 is a great card, if you can buy it.

It's also obviously not the only component that goes into an RTX 5080 – there's also the memory, PCB, cooler, silicon packaging, physical packaging, research and development costs, and so on.

Nvidia’s RTX 5070 Ti might truly have what it takes to displace the RTX 5080 and take its place in the market, but there are a lot of things that would need to go well for the GPU to be a success.

According to a Reddit post, RTX 5080 is missing 8 ROPs—104 instead of 112. The GPU-Z screen capture below, shared by Reddit user gingeraffe90, clearly specifies the lower-than-intended ROP count.

We have identified a rare issue affecting less than 0.5% (half a percent) of GeForce RTX 5090 / 5090D, RTX 5080, and 5070 Ti GPUs which have one fewer ROP than specified.
