Frequently Asked Questions

The RTX 5080 pairs best with mid to high-end CPUs like the Intel Core i7-14700K or AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D. These processors provide optimal performance without bottlenecking the GPU. Mid-range CPUs like the i5-14600K or Ryzen 5 7600X also work well with minimal bottlenecking.

There will be minimal bottlenecking with the i5-14600K, typically around 3-7% depending on the game and resolution. This is still very playable and you'll get excellent performance. For optimal performance, consider upgrading to an i7 or i9 series.

We recommend at least a 750W 80+ Gold power supply for the RTX 5080. The GPU has a 350W TDP, and you need additional power for your CPU, motherboard, and other components. A high-quality PSU ensures stable power delivery and prevents system instability.

Absolutely! The RTX 5080 is excellent for 4K gaming with ray tracing enabled. It can achieve 60+ FPS in most games at 4K with ultra settings and ray tracing. With DLSS 4, you can even push higher frame rates while maintaining excellent image quality.

The RTX 5080 offers approximately 10-15% better performance than the RTX 4090, with improved ray tracing capabilities, more efficient power consumption, and better AI performance. It's built on the new Blackwell architecture with enhanced efficiency and features.

The RTX 5080 is expected to launch in January 2025 with a starting MSRP of $999. Availability may vary by region and retailer. We recommend pre-ordering or setting up notifications with retailers to secure your unit when it becomes available.

You need a motherboard with a PCIe 5.0 x16 slot for optimal performance, though PCIe 4.0 x16 will work with minimal performance loss. Most modern motherboards (Z790, X670E, B650E) support PCIe 5.0. Check your motherboard specifications to confirm compatibility.
