The best argument for grabbing a 5080 right now, if you can find one at $999 in the first place, is that the only cards that come close to its performance are either way more expensive than they're supposed to be (the 4080 Super) or not cheap enough to justify the Nvidia-specific features you give up (AMD's Radeon 7900 XTX).

Here are the RTX 5090 benchmarks, as we test DLSS 4 and Multi Frame Gen on the new graphics card in Cyberpunk 2077, Black Ops 6, and more.
