Live benchmark data
Not enough verified runs yet for a fair pool verdict — averages appear once each side has at least five.
Verdict — RTX 5080
The reasonable enthusiast pick. 16 GB VRAM is enough for now but will feel tight in a couple of years for 4K modded games. Runs cool and quiet compared to the 5090.
Verdict — RTX 5070
Competent card that would have been great with 16 GB. As-is, expect to lower texture settings within 2–3 years to avoid stutter. Consider the 5070 Ti if budget allows.
