Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 Founders Edition Review
Cyberpunk 2077

Cyberpunk 2077 is an open-world action role-playing game set in the dystopian metropolis of Night City. Developed by CD Projekt Red, it offers a vast and immersive world filled with diverse characters, complex storylines, and a wide range of customization options. Players can create their own unique cyberpunk character and explore the city’s underbelly, completing missions, engaging in cybernetic enhancements, and making choices that shape their destiny.

Moving over to Cyberpunk at 1440p, the uplifts are some of the strongest we’ve seen with 23% more performance over the 4080, and 21% more over the 4080 SUPER. Due to the uplift we seen, we now bridge the gap to the 4090, which only comes in with 7% more performance, and this also means that we get 10% more frames over the 7900 XTX. In terms of the lows, these are also very impressive with 27% more than the 4080, 23% more than the 4080 SUPER and 1% more than the 4090, though AMD come in the stronger on this one, putting the 5080 6% behind.

As we move up to 4K, we continue to get strong performance from the 5080 that pushes past the 4080 by 23% in the averages, and 24% in the lows, with similarly strong performance over the 4080 SUPER of 20% and 24% respectively. This does also mean that we pack 7% more frames than AMD, though they still push ahead in the lows, putting the 5080 2% behind, but performance is strong enough to now only be sitting 8% behind the 4090, which is a card that retails for, in some cases, three times the MSRP cost of the 5080.
