Notes on 7 values — test conditions and caveats
  1. 1NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8GB, Launch price: NVIDIA sells no Founders Edition of this card; $379 is the starting MSRP for partner cards.
  2. 2NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080, Recommended PSU: NVIDIA's minimum for a PC with a Ryzen 9 9950X; it recommends a PCIe CEM 5.1 compliant PSU.
  3. 3NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8GB, Power connectors: No Founders Edition exists; most partner cards use one 8-pin socket, a few use a 16-pin 12V-2x6 instead.
  4. 4NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8GB, PCIe lanes: Only 8 lanes: on a PCIe 4.0 or 3.0 board it gets half or a quarter of the PCIe 5.0 bandwidth.
  5. 5NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8GB, DisplayPort version: DisplayPort 2.1b at the full UHBR20 rate.
  6. 6NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080, DisplayPort version: DisplayPort 2.1b at UHBR20 on all three DP outputs.
  7. 7NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080, Slot width: The card is 2-slot (40 mm thick), but NVIDIA's install guide asks for 3-slot (61 mm) case clearance.

Performance and Power

The RTX 5080 delivers massive compute advantages with 10,752 shader cores and 56.3 TFLOPS of FP32 compute, compared to 4,608 cores on the RTX 5060 Ti 8GB. This heavy workload capability demands a much larger power envelope, requiring an 850 W recommended PSU and 360 W of board power.

In contrast, the RTX 5060 Ti 8GB operates at a much leaner 180 W and requires only a 600 W PSU. It uses an 8-pin connector on most partner cards, while the RTX 5080 relies on a 12V-2x6 connection.

Memory and Interface

With 16 GB of video memory and a 256-bit memory bus, the RTX 5080 provides a massive 960 GB/s of memory bandwidth. The RTX 5060 Ti 8GB is limited to 8 GB of VRAM across a 128-bit bus, offering 448 GB/s of bandwidth.

While both graphics cards support PCIe 5.0, the RTX 5060 Ti 8GB is restricted to 8 lanes. Buyers using older PCIe 3.0 or 4.0 motherboards will face reduced bandwidth, which impacts performance when VRAM overflows.

Size and Video Encoding

The RTX 5080 features two hardware video encoders compared to a single encoder on the 5060 Ti 8GB, improving simultaneous export and streaming tasks. The RTX 5080 measures 304 mm long, 137 mm high, and takes up 2 slots, though NVIDIA recommends a 3-slot clearance in the case. Physical dimensions for the 5060 Ti 8GB are not published because NVIDIA offers no Founders Edition.
