I am actually shocked.
Probably more shocked that it’s smaller, even, than my outgoingArc A770.
Pictures do not do the size of the RTX 5080 Founders Edition justice.
Wait, it’s smaller than an Arc A770?!
It’s still a two slot card, at least, but it’s HUGE.
Especially considering the mediocre performance compared to what’s replacing it.
I was not expecting the RTX 5080 to be smaller than my existing Intel graphics card.
I’m also pleasantly surprised by how rigid it is.
It’s a heavy graphics card, but there’s absolutely no sign of sag.
I also want to shout out the decision to flip the power connector from horizontal to vertical.
As good as it is, nobody can buy one. That’s the biggest shame.
Not only that, but it’s fairly quiet while doing it.
It’s almost like looking at a different game with all the graphics prefs turned back up.
For all I love about the RTX 5080, I do not like the price.
But the Founders Edition at least gets a big thumbs up.
