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 — RX 7800 XT
Best price-per-frame at 1440p for its generation. FSR is workable, RT is passable but not why you'd buy it. Very popular pick with informed budget builders.
