NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 Founders Edition

[mechtech]

Nothing in stock here, and cheapest one is $1450cad so about $1640cad after tax. Over 300% more than I paid for my RX6800 ($500cad).

I wonder if Nvidia will have a $500cad (~$350usd) card this gen??

this is the _average_ across the whole benchmark, not just the highest single frequency seen

Even if they do deign to offer us a 5060 around that price, going by the 5080's improvement over the 4080, it would be slower than your 6800.

I'll have to take your word for it. Imgur links don't seem to ever work on TPU..

Works for me

I'll take screen shots and post it in the site issues thread.
EDIT: Nevermind, it just showed up.

WOW! You got north of 3300mhz stable? Nice! So the 5080 at stock may have been less than great but they OC well!

Not all supers were good 2080 super and 4080 super was let down, hardly much of an improvement and I think the 5080 super will be the same with maybe 3-5% improvements

5080 is already using the full gb203, which was not true of the 4080 and ad103. If there is going to be anything slotted between the 5080 and 5090, it would have to be more of a 5080 Ti on a cutdown gb202 die. If they do that (and it's a big if imo), then I suspect you'll get something better than 3-5%.

Given no competition at that performance tier though...I'm just not sure they'd do that. Only if their yields on gb202 is so bad for 5090s that they can get enough 12-15k shader dies out of it and maybe cut down to a 384-bit 24GB card and call it a 5080 Ti.

12VHPWR Melty connector lol no thanks. I want 4x 8pin connectors.
Also isn't it time to move towards fully enclosed GPUs with internal USB4 80Gbps USB-C GPUs that can fit into a 5.25 bay or externally? 4 slot PCIe cards no longer make sense because of the weight. PCIe is also vastly more unreliable because of the pin count compared to USB-C. USB4 80Gbps USB-C is far more elegant. Use 4x quality USB-C 240W cables to increase power. Internal USBC 240W cables are a far more elegant modular and standardized connection for internal PSU connections too.
