- card was in good condition with covers on all ports/connectors, well packaged and has performed flawlessly so far.

Love the looks and stays cool even with an overclock. Was able to get a +2000mhz on the mory and +375mhz on the core with no issues.

- SFF (It's mall compared to most cards these days.) - Quiet - Fast (unless you have a 5080+, of course) - No Excessive RGB (just the ZotacGaming and Logo) - Actually available at roughly MSRP

-Very easy to install and download drivers -Games look insane on it. I am getting 400+ fps on Predecessor

Very quiet, insanely powerful, runs incredibly quiet.

I bought this card to pair with my old i3-12100 DIY PC. The old video card was an RX 6600 which was barely adequate with FSR to play STALKER 2 Medium with FSR Q at 1080p. The RTX 5050 comfortably pushed framerates to above 60 fps at 1080p with a mix of Epic, High, and Medium (aka optimized) settings. With frame gen, the average fps: +90 to 130, 1% lows: +50's usually 60's and 70's, .1% lows: +30 to 60's. I also enabled Nvidia's anti-lag. Gameplay is smooth for my tastes. All my other games (eg Cyberpunk 2077 and GTA V) are less resource extensive. Looking at benchmark videos in YT, the RTX 5050 trades blows with an RTX 4060 in raw frame rates. I was originally going to buy an RTX 5060. But, it cost $100 brand new than the RTX 5050 which I got for $200 after $20 rebate. I see now it's out of stock and the price jumped up to $240. HAHAHAHA This market is crazy. Glad I got mine early enough.

This card is fast and an amazing improvement over my old MSI RTX 2080. It has the PNY logo and a chevron design that lights up. It does have a vapor chamber cooler which helps significantly with temperature. Purchase price was $1,199 which is decent for an RTX 5080. It reaches clock speeds of 2,850 Mhz during game play which is higher than I expected. That is without any overclocking on my part.

Got 99 FPS on Speedway, 25,253 Port Royal, passed Steel Nomad Stress Test. With customized fan curve, can hold temp <= 60 @ 99% utilization, though fan sound is higher. Not hearing any coil whine, all ROPs are there per GPU-Z. I much prefer GPU Tweak III over MSI Afterburner... much easier for me to use and more complete for OC tuning. I think this is one of the best made cards while still being moderate price (relative to what is available). I appreciate Newegg for stock availability, I like the "Shuffle" program and return policy.


Overclocking works. I find this chipset harder to get stable than RDNA3. Solid build quality and feel. For the price - It's a compelling product. I don't use FSR so I can't comment on that.

- Quiet - Good for the price



Unboxing the ASUS ROG Astral RTX 5080 was like unlocking a portal to the future of gaming! The sheer power of this card is unreal. Cyberpunk 2077 at max settings? Child's play. It's an investment, yes, but one that'll keep you ahead of the curve for years. Prepare to be blown away.

I've purchased it at the right time so it's affordable and it meets all expectations. This is for my son and he said 98% of his games run faster or smoother. - powerful - affordable

Super quiet fan curve, decent overclocking, all the special nvidea features, no bigger than the 1080ti I replaced and pulls less power than it too.

Weve been consistently pushing this thing for ours. Its more than enough to do the job!

-Quiet fans -RGB strip even on a budget card -Good performance for the price

This is great for any SFF build. Very satisfied.

Easy setup, Whisper quiet compared to some other iGPUS
