4 Oct
Summary
- Gigabyte's RTX 5080 Infinity 16G achieves record-breaking speeds.
- The card is priced significantly above the original MSRP.
- It offers superior performance in gaming and AI tasks.
The Gigabyte Aorus GeForce RTX 5080 Infinity 16G has set a new benchmark as the fastest RTX 5080 graphics card tested to date.
This enthusiast-grade card features a factory-overclocked boost clock of 2,805MHz, offering a notable performance edge in gaming and AI workloads. Its unique thermal solution ensures efficient cooling, even with its high power draw.
However, this enhanced performance comes at a steep cost. Priced at $1,899, it significantly exceeds the original $999 MSRP for the RTX 5080. This positions it as a premium, albeit expensive, choice for users demanding the absolute best.
The RTX 5080 GPU itself is a powerhouse, equipped with 10,752 CUDA cores and 16GB of GDDR7 RAM, capable of rendering games at high resolutions like 4K.
Gigabyte's unique design also pays homage to the company's 40th anniversary in 2026. The card offers a distinct aesthetic compared to the Nvidia Founders Edition.
