Nvidia's GeForce RTX 5090 graphics card is exceptionally powerful but forbiddingly expensive. (You could build a complete RTX 5080-based gaming PC for the money.) But this top-tier GPU lives on a whole other planet of performance.

The Nvidia RTX 5080 cannot match up to the raw processing of a RTX 5080, but with multi frame gen it's a card you can't ignore.

Positioned as a 4K card at an MSRP of $999, the RTX 5080 Founders Edition aims to be a viable 4K upgrade for those who can't necessarily plunk down the $2K it costs for the more expensive 90-class card.
