ASUS PRIME GeForce RTX 5080 16GB GDDR7 PRIME-RTX5080-O16G graphics card

What the card is

The ASUS PRIME GeForce RTX 5080 16GB GDDR7 is a graphics card built on the NVIDIA Blackwell architecture. It carries 10752 CUDA cores and 16GB of GDDR7 memory on a 256-bit bus running at 30 Gbps. The board connects through a PCI Express 5.0 x16 slot and drives up to four displays via one HDMI 2.1b and three DisplayPort 2.1a outputs. Maximum digital resolution reaches 7680 x 4320.

What to verify before ordering

Confirm that your motherboard provides a PCI Express 5.0 x16 slot and that your power supply can meet the card’s requirements with the correct connectors. Ensure the chassis has enough length and height clearance for a dual-slot design. Check that your monitor cables match HDMI 2.1b or DisplayPort 2.1a to use the full feature set. Verify the operating system supports DirectX 12 Ultimate and the latest NVIDIA drivers.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

This model suits 4K gamers and content creators who want 16GB of high-speed GDDR7 memory and DLSS 4.0 support for modern titles and GPU-accelerated workloads. Users building compact small-form-factor systems or running older power supplies with limited wattage should consider a lower-power alternative. Buyers needing more than four simultaneous displays or specialised workstation certifications should evaluate professional-series cards instead.
