RTX 5070 vs RTX 5080

Performance at 1440p and 4K

RTX 5080 leads in raw FPS and ray tracing headroom — especially at 4K ultra and path tracing titles.

RTX 5070 is the value pick for 1440p high/ultra where DLSS Quality closes most of the gap to 5080.

CPU choice still matters: pair either card with a modern 6–8 core CPU to avoid bottlenecks.

Price and value

5080 costs noticeably more at launch — justify it only if you actually game at 4K or need extra VRAM.

5070 often gives the best frames-per-krona for 1440p monitors, which most Swedish gamers use.

Consider total build cost: PSU, case airflow and monitor — not GPU alone.

Power consumption and PSU

5080 draws more power under load — plan a quality 850 W+ PSU for high-end CPUs.

5070 is kinder to PSU and case thermals; 650–750 W is often enough with efficient CPUs.

We verify PSU, cables and thermals when installing GPUs in our Lerum workshop.

Ekspertips

• Enable DLSS Quality before maxing every setting — often identical look with higher FPS.
• Check case length clearance — 5080 boards are often longer and thicker.
