ASUS GeForce RTX 5080 16GB GDDR7 PRIME-RTX5080-16G

Features

The ASUS PRIME-RTX5080-16G employs the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 GPU on Blackwell architecture, delivering substantial gains in ray tracing and AI workloads. 10,752 CUDA cores operate up to 2640 MHz in OC mode, while 16 GB GDDR7 at roughly 960 GB/s bandwidth handles intensive 4K and 8K tasks.

Triple Axial-tech fans paired with a vapor chamber provide effective thermal management for the GPU and memory. The 2.5-slot footprint aligns with SFF-Ready guidelines, enabling compatibility with smaller cases without major performance trade-offs.

Power connects via a single 16-pin connector, with an 850 W PSU recommended. No NVLink or CrossFire support keeps the focus on single-card setups for gaming and creative applications.

Connectivity includes one HDMI 2.1b and three DisplayPort 2.1b with HDCP 2.3, supporting up to four displays at resolutions to 7680×4320. The bundle offers a 1-to-3 power adapter, Velcro strap, and setup guide.

Dimensions of 304×126×50 mm facilitate integration across various chassis, and GPU Tweak III software allows precise frequency and fan curve adjustments.
