DLSS Frame Generation could be coming to all GeForce RTX gamers in the future, thanks to DLSS 4's optimizations and AI improvements.

At a glance Expert's Rating Pros ・DLSS Multi Frame Generation is a game-changer in compatible titles, driving snappy new levels of smoothness by increasing frame rates fourfold, tightly paced. ・Great 4K and 1440p performance ・Tightly engineered Founders Edition model somehow squeezes into a fairly quiet two-slot design Cons ・Very small performance

The RTX 5080 Founders Edition at $999 makes far more sense for enthusiasts targeting max-setting gaming and ultra-HD resolutions if you can find it at MSRP.

Nvidia's GeForce RTX 5090 graphics card is exceptionally powerful but forbiddingly expensive. (You could build a complete RTX 5080-based gaming PC for the money.) But this top-tier GPU lives on a whole other planet of performance.

That's not the case with the new $999 RTX 5080, which beats the previous-generation RTX 4080 Super by a little bit and the older RTX 4080 by a slightly larger bit but doesn't come close to beating or even replicating the performance of the outgoing 4090.
