Gainward GeForce RTX 5080 Phoenix GS (NE75080S19T2-GB2031X)

Gainward GeForce RTX 5080 Phoenix GS embodies a classic approach to implementing a high-performance next-generation graphics card, combining cutting-edge technology with time-tested engineering solutions. It is part of the 2025 Gainward Phoenix lineup, known for its serious approach to power, cooling, and overclocking. It is targeted at affluent gamers, enthusiasts, and professionals in AI development, 3D modeling, and rendering.

In terms of performance, it surpasses flagship solutions of the previous generation and is only outperformed by the flagship RTX 5090 model with 32 GB of video memory. The Gainward GeForce RTX 5080 Phoenix GS is based on the GB-203 graphics processor (Blackwell architecture), which is factory-overclocked to 2700 MHz. The manufacturer has equipped the graphics card with 16 GB of high-speed GDDR7 memory, interacting with the GPU through a 256-bit bus, providing the necessary bandwidth for modern gaming projects.

The technological potential of Phoenix GS is unveiled through an updated system of transformer neural networks, elevating image upscaling capabilities to a new level thanks to DLSS 4. The use of new multi-frame generation technology allows for a significant boost in gaming performance while minimizing image quality loss. According to NVIDIA, performance gains can reach 200-400%. The cooling is managed by a cooling system with three Cyclone fans, a massive heatsink, and a vapor chamber. The card’s design is maintained in the traditional strict and minimalist style typical of the Phoenix series.
