   Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 review: More like a 4080 Super Super
   A good 4K card, a decent value on paper, but not the upgrade it could be.

     @arstechnica so is it worth upgrading from a 4090 to this ?

     @arstechnica Also, getting into super audiophile levels of specialization and pointless enhancement.

     I play my games happily on a mini-PC running Kubuntu. It makes zero sense to spend 5x the cost of my whole computer on a graphics card that won't make my games more fun.

     @arstechnica "on paper" indeed. In reality they're listed for sale at $200-450 more than the already lacklustre MSRP.

     What an wet fart of an architecture Ada is turning out to be.
