- The new NVIDIA RTX 5080 GPU operates better than Radeon RX 7900 XTX from AMD to RAW RASTERIZATION AND RAY TRACING
- DLSS 4 performances further, while the RX 7900 XTX has only FSR 3 for the moment
- Scalping could let many people buy AMD GPUs instead
The best GPU in the NVIDIA RTX 5000 series is finally there, with the RTX 5090 ($ 1,999 / £ 1,939 / $ 4,039 at) and the RTX 5080 ($ 999 / £ 939 / $ 2 019 . With comparisons now in the wild, it is clear to see that the RTX 5080 is beating the RX RX 7900 XTX of AMD while sitting at the same price listed – although the chances of finding one at this price are slim.
Both Raw Rasterization and (not surprisingly) Ray Tracing performance, the RTX 5080 of Team Green is in the lead against the flagship GPU of the RX 7000 series of its rivals in several games, as evidenced by the comparison of Gamer Meld on YouTube (available below). Although it is not by a huge margin (at least in rating rater), it ends the work that the RTX 4080 of the previous generation has put to do.
Examples of this are notable in Black myth: WukongAs the RTX 5080 noted an average image frequency of 42FPS compared to the 32FPS RX 7900 XTX to 4K Max Graphics Safe parameters or rays tracing, a performance difference of 27%. With RT Overdrive activated in Cyberpunk 2077 In the 4K Max graphics settings and the rise in power (performance mode for both), the RTX 5080 had an average of 59.84 IPS compared to the 30.02 IPS of the 7900 XTX.
It should be noted that it is then that the Powerhouse GPU of Team Green used DLSS 4 and that the RX 7900 XTX used FSR 3 – you could call this an unfair comparison, but the FSR 4 of Team Red will only be available for GPU RDNA 4 (at least for now), and the GPU in question is one of them. We will have to wait a little longer for more information on what the new RX 9070 series offers (especially when using FSR 4), and if this could accumulate with Nvidia’s offers.
To watch
Unless you have the chance to take an RTX 5080 FE before the Scalpers, you will probably not get it at its cost listed
Now this can be a circumstance where I would recommend staying with RX 7900 XTX of AMD if you already have the GPU – the RTX 5080 Fe would probably be the best option in the future (especially if DLSS 4 is better than FSR 4) , but scalpers will probably be the main obstacle to prevent you from buying it at reasonable prices.
We have seen this happen many times with the GPUs of Nvidia and other PC materials, so expect it to be the same case here. It will probably be much worse for those who continue the RTX 5090 with its price of $ 1,999 / £ 1,939 / $ 4,039 in (which I do not think I do not worth it if you already have a RTX 4090).
While Nvidia’s RTX 5080 is the strongest GPU, the RX 7900 XTX does not deviate too far in rating rater – the tracing of the rays and the rise in power are great, do not get me wrong, but I I have already said that this should not be a decisive factor for a GPU purchase.
The two GPUs are at the same price listed, with third -party options from the RX 7900 XTX at lower prices (because it has been released for 2 years), so it would be the easy and affordable option in this case – but once In addition, users catch users. Performance wind comparisons, you will probably see that the RX 7900 XTX also disappears from online retailers with a low stock. A potential purchase of the RTX 5080 is fully due whether you already have AMD GPU or a lower GPU on the red team or the Green team.
