The RTX 5080 is a powerhouse, ranking as the second-best Blackwell graphics card, only behind the RTX 5090. It outperforms the discontinued RTX 4080 Super by 5%-10%.

Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 FE Review, by Jacqueline Thomas
"If you already have a high-end graphics card from the last couple of years, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 might not be a significant upgrade – it offers only a marginal performance lead over the RTX 4080. However, the extra frames from DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation enhance visual quality in supported games. For gamers with older cards seeking a substantial performance boost, the RTX 5080 is an excellent choice, especially if you're keen on Nvidia’s AI features."
