For comparison, Nvidia's own GeForce RTX 5080 Founder's Edition carries a standard retail price of $999 (though actual market prices have been significantly higher). The Epic-X ARGB OC represents PNY's top-tier RTX 5080 model, equipped with a robust triple-fan cooling system, a slight factory overclock, and vibrant RGB lighting.

The RTX 5080 ranks among the fastest graphics cards available, surpassed only by the $2,000 RTX 5090 and the now-discontinued $1,600 RTX 4090. It delivers phenomenal performance for playing the latest, most demanding titles in 4K resolution with high settings and ray tracing enabled. With support for DLSS 4 and its multi-frame generation technology, you can extract even higher frame rates in supported games with minimal impact on visual fidelity. Recent titles featuring DLSS 4 support include Doom: The Dark Ages, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Borderlands 4, and Battlefield 6.
Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 FE Review by Jacqueline Thomas
"If you already own a high-end GPU from the last two generations, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 might not be a compelling upgrade—its performance lead over the RTX 4080 is modest, though DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation does enhance visuals in compatible games. However, for gamers upgrading from an older graphics card who want a substantial performance leap, the RTX 5080 absolutely delivers, especially if you appreciate Nvidia's suite of AI-powered features."
