The Nvidia RTX 5080 is here. And then it wasn’t. This review is the result of nearly 100 hours of testing, and before I could even finish the edit, I’m hearing it will be at least 6 more weeks of winter and 8 more weeks before retailers are able to restock. And that’s too bad, because despite only a modest bump in performance over the RTX 4080 and RTX 4080 Super, this new card IS a solid performer. Better performance at the same price is almost always a win for consumers… assuming you’re able to buy one in the first place that is.

But first… What am I drinking???
