Graphics Card Gainward GeForce RTX 5080 Phoenix 16GB - NE75080019T2-GB2031X

Gainward GeForce RTX 5080 Phoenix 16GB is a high-end GPU from the new generation Blackwell, aimed at serious gaming and heavy visual tasks. The combination of RTX 5080 graphics processor and 16 GB GDDR7 memory makes it ready for high resolutions and detailed settings. The 256-bit bus and memory speed of 28 Gbps provide very high data transfer to the GPU. The card comes with active cooling and occupies 3 slots, so it's good to plan the case and airflow.

What you get

With 10752 CUDA cores and Blackwell architecture, you get serious parallel resources for modern games, 3D rendering, and GPU-accelerated applications. 16 GB GDDR7 memory on a 256-bit bus and 28 Gbps memory speed mean a wide and fast channel that helps avoid bottlenecks at high resolutions and heavy texture packs. The PCI Express 5.0 interface provides enough bandwidth for the next generations of CPU platforms, without worrying about whether the slot is a bottleneck. With up to 4 simultaneously connected displays via 3 DisplayPort and 1 HDMI, you can combine a main high refresh monitor with additional ones for streaming, chat, and monitoring. The requirement for 1 x 16-pin additional power indicates that the PSU needs to be quality and ready for serious load.

• Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 graphics processor on Blackwell architecture for next-generation ray tracing and GPU acceleration.
• 16 GB GDDR7 memory with 256-bit bus provides high capacity and wide memory bandwidth for heavy games and creativity.
• Memory speed of 28 Gbps helps for fast transfer of textures and buffers, which is critical at high resolution.
• 10752 CUDA cores provide a very good foundation for gaming, rendering, video processing, and all kinds of CUDA-based applications.
• PCI Express 5.0 interface for maximum compatibility and bandwidth with modern motherboards and CPU platforms.
• Support for up to 4 displays (3 x DisplayPort, 1 x HDMI) with a maximum resolution of 7680x4320 for multi-monitor and 8K configurations.
• Occupies 3 slots and uses active cooling, which requires good airflow in the case and planning of the other components.
• 1 x 16-pin additional power, which concentrates power in one connector and requires a modern PSU.

Who it is suitable for

This GPU is suitable if you aim for high-end gaming, working at high resolutions, and using software that truly utilizes CUDA cores. It fits well in a system with a powerful CPU and a modern monitor, where it can unleash its potential. If your build is more budget-oriented or you only play at 1080p with light esports titles, it is probably above your needs.

The combination of Blackwell architecture, 16 GB GDDR7, and PCIe 5.0 makes Gainward GeForce RTX 5080 Phoenix 16GB a long-term foundation for serious gaming and work, as long as the rest of the hardware is up to par.
