$ 1,000 for the RTX 5080 Founders Edition will be the model that more people seriously consider, even if it's still a splurge.

It's a better choice from a performance perspective, meeting people where they already are in terms of monitor resolution, game choice, and existing power supplies.

While it isn’t perfect, I’m impressed that the card is able to maintain a relatively smooth 60 frames per second .

The RTX 5080 is the card in the 50 Series that I think will appeal to most people, balancing performance, power requirements, and price.

The Founders Edition is a premium example too, with a compact form factor and understated styling.

For a lot of people, having an RTX 5090 would be like buying a Lamborghini when the speed limit is 15 MPH .
