Asus RTX 5080 now $999.99, ends overpricing

Asus Prime GeForce RTX 5080 16GB Graphics Card - Now Available at Launch Price

$999.99 at Amazon (Prime Members Only)

The era of inflated GPU prices is finally over. Amazon currently stocks the Asus Prime GeForce RTX 5080 16GB at its original $999.99 MSRP with free shipping for Prime members - the first time we've seen this card readily available at launch price.

Performance improvements over the discontinued RTX 4080 Super are moderate (5-10% gains), but considering matching launch prices, the RTX 5080 offers comparable value. Early criticism stemmed mainly from scarcity and scalpers driving prices above $1,500 - an issue now resolved.

Uncompromised 4K Gaming Performance

The RTX 5080 stands as one of today's fastest GPUs, surpassed only by premium offerings like the $2,000 RTX 5090. It delivers exceptional 4K gaming with ray tracing enabled, featuring:

• DLSS 4 with multi-frame generation technology
• Excellent compatibility with demanding titles like Doom: The Dark Ages and Stellar Blade
• Future-proof support for upcoming AAA releases

Asus's engineering delivers improved compatibility through:

• Triple-fan cooling solution
• Streamlined 2.5-slot design
• SFF case compatibility (for longer chassis configurations)

Expert Review: "While existing high-end GPU owners might skip this generation, the RTX 5080 delivers substantial gains for upgraders - especially those leveraging DLSS 4's frame-generation benefits." - Jacqueline Thomas
