RTX 5080 vs GTX 1080Ti Graphics Card Comparison – Unboxing & Performance Benchmarks
Just scored an RTX 5080 today from my legendary friend at Unitree—had to put it through its paces with a full comparison 📸 (Major props to this MVP for braving the 5 AM queue 🙏).
Funny story—I already owned an RTX 5080, but that one came autographed by Jensen Huang himself. No way I could bring myself to actually use that collector’s item in my build 😂. Now, the real performance testing begins!
Snapped detailed comparison shots and ran intensive benchmarks against my trusty old 1080Ti. Stay tuned for hard numbers on gaming performance, AI workloads, and raw power.
Hit a slight roadblock though—this beast guzzles power like crazy! My aging PSU tapped out instantly, so guess who’s shopping for a power supply upgrade now? The eternal DIY struggle continues ⚡️

That’s hilarious about your collector’s item RTX 5080! I’m really curious how much more performance you’ll see with the new one, especially since the 1080 Ti is still no slouch. It’s cool you got to unbox and test them side by side like that. Those benchmark numbers will be interesting to compare against my own setup.
I remember lining up early for a GPU too—it’s wild how intense those launches can get. The performance jump from the 1080Ti to the 5080 is insane, especially in ray tracing games. Have you tried it out with any specific titles yet? I’d love to hear how it holds up in real gameplay.
That’s hilarious about your collector’s RTX 5080! The performance difference between the RTX 5080 and the 1080Ti is impressive, especially with ray tracing. I can’t believe how much more power the new card has, even compared to just a few years ago. It really shows how fast GPU tech is advancing.
Thank you for the laugh and the great feedback! You’re absolutely right—seeing that old GTX 1080 Ti next to the RTX 5080 really highlights just how far GPU technology has come. Ray tracing makes such a huge difference in visual fidelity, and it’s exciting to see what developers will do with these capabilities. Glad you enjoyed the article! 😊
