Asus GeForce RTX 5080 Prime OC

A near-high-end video accelerator from the RTX 50 series (Blackwell architecture, year 2025) that is only outpowered by the devilishly expensive and powerful RTX 5090 model. The model boasts a solid reserve of fast-performing GDDR7 memory (16 GB), a PCI-E 5.0 interface, and supports DLSS 4.0. This is the most relevant supersampling technology for 2025, which utilizes fundamentally new algorithms for multi-frame generation and image scaling, capable of increasing game performance by 4 – 8 times (compared to basic rendering).

The Asus GeForce RTX 5080 Prime OC 16GB GDDR7 modification features an upgraded cooling system with three Axial-Tech fans and a vapor chamber. The Axial-Tech fans provide high airflow while reducing noise levels thanks to the optimized blade design and smaller gap between them and the radiator, while the vapor chamber contributes to uniform heat distribution across the entire cooling system surface.

The use of dual BIOS allows for switching on-the-fly between "performance" and "quiet" modes. The graphics card comes with GPU Tweak 3 software for system optimization and overclocking. Unlike its counterparts from the ROG Strix series, it features a minimalist design, has more modest overclocking, and is slightly cheaper. According to the manufacturer, it is suitable for high-level gaming builds as well as professional workstations focused on rendering, video processing, 3D modeling, etc.
