Customer Ratings & Reviews

5/5, do recommend. Context: Bought this for my first gaming PC and it was definitely worth it. I don't have room for a desk so I have to play on my living room TV and my TV will only swap between 4K and 1080p. Which meant I have to be able to play at 4K. I'm also a firm believer that if I'm paying $1,600 for a GPU and just over $3,000 for the whole computer then I better be able to play at well over 60 FPS. Anything less than that and I'd feel like I wasted money. I built my computer around the GPU to ensure I would not be bottlenecked at any point and it worked. I've been able to play games at 4K well above 60 FPS and am absolutely thrilled.

The ASUS TUF 5080 is a great overall partner card for the 5080 series. With my unit, I was fortunate enough to not experience any coil wine, which is a known problem for the TUF series. But, even with these benefits that asking price of being 50 over MSRP of what the 5080 is advertised to retail for makes it hard to recommend to most. The build quality is excellent. The front and backplate of the card are made of aluminum, while the edges use "TUF" plastic. See what I did there? Sorry, lol. But I expected to see a lot more RGB for this price. The only thing that is illuminated is the TUF logo on top of the card. The card is pretty big, it mounts in 2 slots, but the width easily extends over 3. I don't personally have a problem with it as I use a big case, but make sure you double check the dimensions of any SFF cases along side the dimensions of this card. The card's temperatures are great. It efficiently cools the 5080 silicon. The highest I've seen it go is 65 °C under maximum stress conditions, such as using MSI Kombustor or Time Spy benchmarking. This is with a percentage per Celsius fan curve, so I have never seen it go over 65 percent fan speed as well. It doesn't usually get near this in normal game settings. Keep in mind, this is with overclocking the core clock boost up to 400 MHz and 2000+ for the memory. Which I also have to admit is great headroom. I saw increases in FPS of about 10 percent on average, with 15 percent being the highest from stock. This gets it near or even the same performance of a 4090. Just with much less VRAM. Everything about the card is great. The build quality, the performance, the cooling, the overclocking headroom, but... this can also be obtained with many cheaper partner cards, or even the base FE that goes for $500 cheaper. If this card were priced more reasonable over the MSRP, let's say maybe 25 to 30 percent, which is still high in my opinion, I think overall this card would be a good recommendation. But I just can't justify it to be $500 over the base price of a FE. I understand these cards are extremely high in-demand as of writing this, but the performance difference and overclocking headroom should be identical between these cards. You would be losing $500 for no good reason besides aesthetics. The original MSRP for this card was $1350, the max price I would consider reasonable, but uplifting another 10 percent to become $1485 is unacceptable. I understand a lot of this is caused by the recent imposed tariffs in the US, but ASUS is still making a decent profit as this card still costs the company a lot less than they are selling it for. The company could afford to keep the price stable while still maintaining a profit even after having to deal with the added import cost. But, instead they increased 10 percent to maintain profit margins. On a card that was already overpriced for what it was. While taking advantage of the artificial demand created by Nvidia for this series of cards. I come from a GTX 1080, the performance increase is huge, around 3 to 4 times more. But even with this, it's still hard to justify this pricing. You could buy a PS5, or an Xbox Series X, or a couple of Series S's, or even almost buy an RTX 5070 if you go with the FE instead of this card. You would lose out on all of this, for what, the SAME performance? Very unethical and predatory from not only Nvidia, but from ASUS. Just like any other 5080, it also includes Nvidia's new AI tech like DLSS 4 and MFG. It's great software, but I believe MFG should not have to carry what this series of cards lacks in raster increase from the previous generation. My bottom line, if you can find a cheaper partner card, or even the FE of the 5080, I would recommend getting that over this card. The 50 percent increase of MSRP is not justified whatsoever, and it's a shame because this is genuinely a good product, but not to the point where it can charge like this. I will be returning this if I can find a FE or cheaper variant of the 5080 series, even for a good of a card as it is.

I upgraded from an EVGA RTX 3080 to the new RTX 5080, and I can’t even begin to explain how incredible the difference is. This card is an absolute monster! I’m getting 400+ FPS on max graphics settings across the board, and everything runs buttery smooth. Whether it’s AAA titles or demanding creative workloads, the RTX 5080 handles it all effortlessly. What makes this even more special is how hard it was to find. I’d been trying to get my hands on one since launch day with no luck, until I finally scored one through the Best Buy app. Huge shoutout to Best Buy for making it happen! I’m now officially proud to be a Best Buy Member. If you’re thinking about upgrading, don’t hesitate. The RTX 5080 is 100% worth it. Powerful, efficient, and future-proof ,this is next-gen gaming and performance done right.

Great card, but initially crashed a lot. It would crash while just browsing web. I updated drivers to all of my hardware and bios and still had issues. I re-seated card and used cable that came with power supply, instead of 3 to 1 adaptor that came with card (which is not recommended per manufacturer) and haven't had an issue for at least a month. So it was either seated wrong or the cable that came with card is junk.

I use this card on an Odyssey G9 57 inch with 7680x2160 resolution on Linux. It works well most of the time, but the drivers cause the PC to freeze at times on the desktop. Aside from that, gaming is mostly solid, but the 16GB of VRAM isn't enough to smoothly run that many pixels, it's 2 4k monitors smashed together into one. This causes the games to stutter at times when the VRAM is at 100% capacity. Running The Last of Us Part 1 at max settings, including max Ray tracing settings, but having DLSS set to performance, I averaged about 65 FPS. Overall solid card, I just wish it had more VRAM.

I managed to get an MSI Inspire card in early February (Full ROPs) and was fortunate enough to snag the ASUS TUF this week. I play Monster Hunter Wilds at 4k ultra settinng. My old MSI SFF card frequently caused game crashes. However, after switching to the ASUS card, I haven’t encountered any issues. The FPS is not only slightly better than the Inspire but also more stable. The TUF 5080 feels like a tank—heavy, solid build, great performance, and it never exceeds 60 degrees (around 57 'C on my build). The price might be little high but still within my budget so I'd give this card 5 star. If anyone could get it at MSRP before tariff then this card is no-brainer. For 5090 I'd also choose tuf (or astral)

A literal beast of a card. I had a $1900 Zotec 3080ti that I got over 4 years ago during the bad times. I know I overpaid back then, but it was all you could do to get a good graphics card. Fast forward to 2025 and the cards are hard to get again. I got this for the asking price and I was willing to pay for the significant performance boost the GPU offers. I run 1440p on a 165hz monitor. I used to get 120-150 frames, now I am easily pegging to 165 or higher.

absolute monster of a car in performance and size, stays super cool during gaming. Is a big upgrade for me (coming from a 2080Ti) Handles 4k just find and is super quite. Also quite a bit of head room for overclocking about a 8-10% increase in performance with a quick and dirty overclock this card has a lot left in it and will last for a very long time!! Not to much rgb just the way I like it has a great look to it

Such a beasty card! Works wonders and bo complaints whatsoever.

This is a beast of a Graphics Card. Very beefy so make sure it will fit in your case.

Runs like a champ. I wanted the 5090 TUF but settled for this since they were too hard to get. This thing still rips. Was worth saving the grand and might upgrade next year

Absolutely great product, but boy is it expensive for how I’m gaming now I guess it was worth it the games look phenomenal I upgraded from a 470 super a world of a difference

Great performance. Haven’t broken 50% usage while running games at 1440p. Love the look and rgb too.

Top notch card, stays cool, can handle anything you throw at it!

Amazing GPU performance is great and thermals are fantastic I haven’t seen it go over 50 degrees while playing monster hunter wilds.

Got this one for a good price. Thanks to bestbuy for actually lulling this off and not cancelling the order. Fantastic

Great gpu that can run anything with no issue. No complaints! Big upgrade from the 3080.

Good price, performs better than a 4080, I think this is where you'll find it cheaper

I came from a 1660 ti and the difference was insane. It is a little over priced though

Excellent card. Extreme fast and stays super cold. On the bigger side so be careful if you have a smaller case.
