GIGABYTE – NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 WINDFORCE OC SFF 16G GDDR7 PCI Express 5.0 Graphics Card – Black

Best 2nd Choice if can't afford the 5090 - While considerably slower than the 5090, it was still much faster and a good upgrade compared to my 2070S. Was pricey but only 1/4 of the 5090 price. Easy to install.

GIGABYTE NVIDIAGeForce RTX5080 WINDFORCE OCSFF 16G - Owesome GPU. GIGABYTE - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 WINDFORCE OC SFF 16G GDDR7 PCI Express 5.0 Graphics Card - Black

Great value - Card runs super quiet while staying cool. GPU support bracket worked amazing and is minimalistic. Great upgrade from 30 series cards.

Came back to the green team - I had purchased an AMD RX 9070 XT when it was released because of the cheaper price. It was a great card but software was an issue more often than not it seemed like. A lot of the times the AMD software wouldn’t even run, I had to restart my pc for it to actually work but I’ve noticed that with NVIDIA I don’t have that issue. I had always had NVIDIA cards since the GTX 970 up until the 3080. I had always been happy with the software but the prices pushed me off. Now that I’m back to this 5080 I couldn’t be happier. Games run great, it stays at around 73° while playing Battlefield 6 and getting around 150 fps native resolution with no frame gen mostly max settings at 3440x1440p. Very happy with the purchase and I’m sure it’ll be future proof with the 16gb of VRAM.

Good 5080 Model - Really good performance, no issues and its really quiet

Runing all my AAA games at max settings - This dipped below $900 in the sales, so I jumped on it, so glad I did, it makes my 3090 12GB look old and slow. it runs cool, not to loud, in normal use, when gaming I run the fans up manually when game for hours, then its gets loud, but no too bad. no issues with cable melting, not yet, but I did use the cables from my gigabyte 1000watt gold power supply, not the GPU, so I am using three outputs from the PSU to the GPU.

Overclock legend - Easily throw a 10% oc on this thing it absolutely flies. I stream to remote clients and game off it all day and use a ultrawide monitor. Kills the 4k and 3440p scenarios with the settings cranked. Best you can get for the $$ unless you wanna spend 2x

Very nice, good quality, would recommend for most.

Works - Well it works exactly the way I need with low temps. Not sure what else I could ask for. Plus getting it for $900 helped

Fast and cool - Runs cool and overclocks really well. Only downside is it had zero lighting effects. Not even the gigabyte label is lit up.

RTX 5080 is good, but - Only worth it if you’re getting it at MSRP or upgrading it from a very old card. It’s not too loud and it can get a little warm. However, it handles all the workload and gaming just fine. PS. Probably should just went with AMD because Nvidia is just greedy.

Terrible Price - [Employee of bestbuy] Gigabyte has decided that a 57Mhz "overclock" should warrant a 27% upcharge in price. For reference this card is capable of running a close to 500Mhz overclock however gigabyte has intentionally only applied a tiny 57Mhz overclock to it so that they can sell "better" models that come stock with a higher overclock at even higher prices. I have already overclocked my card and it runs fine but for $270 over MSRP this should be done for me. For reference a 500Mhz overclock nets me around 10 extra fps in games so their 53Mhz overclock will probably get you around 1 extra fps. This card is charging you $270 for 1 extra fps.... TLDR: 27% upcharge for a 2% increase in performance. What a joke.

Gigabyte 5080 sff oc - Great performance. Quiet small factor card. Does what you need it to do at 4k.

Great card, Overpriced. Worthwhile upgrade from my 3080

RTX 5080 - Picked it up on the exact estimated date and it works like a beauty. Upgraded from GTX1660 so you know how i feel its just perfect for 1440p and 4k gaming.

PNY 5080 - Amazing to be able to get this card! Glad best buy had a bunch in stock

It's a 5080! (with coil whine) - This "small form factor" card is still comically large - but this does mean that it doesn't perform any worse than other 5080s at least. Knocking off one star because there is noticeable coil whine.

Just the basics plus some OC. What's not to love? - Simply an awesome card. Somehow beat the bot scalpers and scored this during the second(?) 50 series drop on 2/12. Installed it two days later and it's performing like a beast. Hasn't gone over 61C yet playing at 1440p high settings 240hz. Might have to look at getting a 4k monitor for this pup, sheesh. Best Buy did me right for the 30 series and now the 50 series. Will always spend my hard earned, Nvidia-focused dollars here, even if I have to fight some scalpers. A couple things I've noticed, good and bad: -minimal, if any, coil whine -uses much less power than my 30 series with much, much higher performance. I was at 144hz but now at 240hz and the difference between this and my 3080 is stark. -not noticeably "loud" to me until 80%+ fan speeds and even then it's not as bad as I've experienced in the past with other cards. 3080 FE is a jet engine lol. -my card did NOT come with a cover for the little capacitor rectangle on the top of the card. In the listing's picture, it's shown as having some sort of a black cover. This did not exist on the card I received and I could not find anything in the box that would lead me to believe I had to install it myself. Odd. -probably isn't worth $1,270 but thanks, tariffs. This, I believe, was originally an msrp card (999.99). That would've been right on. Shame. -not even a plain white light up logo on the front like the founder's edition cards. Sad that a card this pricey doesn't have even that. Not even RGB, just a little plain white LED. Oh well. I don't really care about RBG, but it definitely tends to give products a bit more of a premium feel, especially that founder's-style white LED. Sexy. Overall, I've enjoyed the first 10 hours with it and I'm sure you will too. Good card and would recommend! Hope you guys reading this and waiting on discord servers for stock alert pings can get one! <3
