Verdict: The RTX 5080 outperforms the RTX 5070 Ti by roughly 20 % in rasterized benchmarks (24.5 TFLOPs vs 20.1 TFLOPs per TechPowerUp) and offers a larger 24 GB memory buffer (per NVIDIA), making it the clear choice for 4K gaming. However, its 350 W TDP (per Tom's Hardware) and premium launch price (per PC Gamer) mean the RTX 5070 Ti remains a solid, more power‑efficient option for high‑refresh 1440p setups. For users focused on ultimate performance and future‑proofing, the RTX 5080 wins; for those balancing cost, power draw, and still wanting excellent 1440p performance, the RTX 5070 Ti is preferable.
Winner: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080
