Although there are not many RTX 5080 models available on the market at this stage, most of them are bundled with other hardware, so the price is not very cheap. At this time, which RTX 5080 you choose is very important. Recently, a channel on China Bilibili shared a horizontal evaluation of 31 commercially available RTX 5080 models. Under the same environment, they ranked them based on various measured data. They also compiled a number of RTX 5080 models that are not worth buying. If you are considering it, it is worth your reference.
Horizontal evaluation report of 31 commercially available RTX 5080 graphics cards
A few days ago, China Bilibili channel 51972 shared a video of actual testing of 31 commercially available RTX 5080 graphics cards. In the video, they mentioned that they tried their best to obtain all commercially available models before testing, but some of them were not even available within the brand, so they were unable to be presented in this video. If other new models are launched in the future, they will add more.

The first is the 20 rounds of 3DMARK SpeedWay testing. Gigabyte RTX 5080 MASTER and XTREME WATERFORCE won 1st and 3rd place respectively. The RTX 5080 MASTER’s score of 9400 is higher than the current most expensive ASUS ROG ASTRAL RTX5080:
The more eye-catching one is Renaissance, with 3 of the 4 tested models entering the top 10. In addition, the difference between the top 10 is not more than 3%.
Each test 51972 can share the ranking of 31 models. Due to the length, only the top 10 are listed here. For a more complete video, you can watch the video at the end of the article.
In the temperature section, the top three are all Colorful, with Colorful RTX 5080 Neptune OC taking first place. After 20 laps of testing, the display memory temperature did not exceed 70 degrees. Gigabyte RTX 5080 XTREME WATERFORCE, which also uses water cooling, is only ranked 4th:
Although the ASUS ROG ASTRAL RTX5080 loses to the Gigabyte RTX 5080 MASTER in terms of running scores, it wins in terms of temperature performance, ranking 8th.
The top 3 fans with the best sound performance are Renaissance RTX 5080 Starship OC, MSI RTX 5080 GAMING TRIO OC, and NVIDIA RTX 5080 public version. The more noteworthy one is MSI RTX 5080 VANGUARD SOC. If the graphics card bracket is not used, it will make a sound similar to the fan blades fins when running, and it will disappear if you hold it with your hands:
In the overclocking part, Gigabyte graphics cards performed best, with a total of 4 models ranked in the top 10. Among them, Gigabyte RTX 5080 XTREME WATERFORCE won the first place, and the clock speed can easily reach 3.3GHz:
At this stage, the price of graphics cards is very chaotic, so 51972 explained that there is no way to create a recommended ranking list, but they recommend avoiding the following ones.
- MSI RTX 5080 VENTUS 3X OC PLUS VENTUS:Poor performance of materials and bulk materials
- MSI RTX 5080 INSPIRE 3X OC Hardcore:Poor performance of materials and bulk materials
- Renaissance RTX 5080 Snow Fox OC:Average cooling performance
- Gengsheng RTX 5080 Chasing the Wind OC:Poor performance in noise control and bulk materials
- ASUS PRIME RTX5080 O16G Master:Higher price, poor heat dissipation performance
- AX Esports Rebel RTX 5080 X3W OC:Memory heat dissipation temperature is high
- Inzo RTX 5080 Yaoye X3 OC:Materials used and dispersion performance are poor
- Renaissance RTX 5080 Nebula:Average cooling performance
