Which did you decide on? Absolutely similar build here and also worried about the VRAM in the 5080 vs the 7900xtx.
ASUS TUF Gaming 5080 OC.
Should be here today
Looking forward to your impressions! Was waiting for a buddy to get his 5090 so I could get his 4090. He raised his price so 5080 it is for me.
Arrived at sordid facility eh? Absolutely loving my 5070Ti. Worth the agonizing wait!
I am assuming that the three 65" monitors are 4K, if they are then I think the 5070ti is not going to do it. I think the 5080 might be ok but that would be a guess, I think you will run into VRAM issues. If you are talking 1440p then the 5080 should be ok but not sure that the 5070ti will be. I can’t confirm this though since I am only pushing two smaller monitors (27" and 34"). As for the VR, I have no experience with VR so I can’t comment.
The rest of the system looks solid. I use the same MOBO and it has been great so far.
Thank you. Time to get into research mode again on the 5070ti vs 5080 specs starting here UserBenchmark: Nvidia RTX 5070-Ti vs 5080
UserBenchmark is completely worthless - it’s nothing but trash.
I strongly suggest looking for far more reputable sources if you need honest, accurate information.
Quick question, does it matter if the 5080 is from PNY, MSI, ASUS, AORUS, Gigabyte, etc brands?
Yep, Gigabyte GPUs are known for not exhibiting coil whine.
And most brands offer OC and non-OC versions. Practically speaking for the time being, the best 50xx is the one in hand. They are that hard to come by.
So if I have a choice, Gygabyte. And which one: OC or non-OC would be better? BTW, what’s OC? Obsessive Compulsive? No seriously, what is it and which is better OC- or non-OC?
OC stands for Over-Clock. Basically, it is a factory OC of the GPU (and perhaps the VRAM) above Founder’s Edition specs. Factory OC cards typically have higher quality chips in them that allow them to run faster than stock.
All that said, I’ve yet to find a “stock” chip of any kind I couldn’t OC.
In the 50xx marketplace, it also gives N’s card partners another reason to over charge over list. At least one gets some overclocking to go with the price!
This one? Says 10% performance increase.
A very solid choice and a sweet upgrade from the 3090. Enjoy!
After much delay, it is finally “out for delivery”
Fresh off the Purolator truck.
Still sitting there, haven’t gotten to opening it yet. We’re still at the admiring stage of the relationship lol
…installed!
Installed ASUS GPU Tweak III and did some benchmarks with it stock, and then applying the OC preset and increasing some thresholds.
Pretty crazy the differences.
Started doing initial testing within MSFS, have a few that I run through but this is the first.
- Empty Community Folder
- No additional addons running (everything disabled in exe.XML)
- Asobo 152
- CYTS

Hi,
Today I replaced my Zotac RTX 3090 Trinity with a Gigabyte RTX 5080 Windforce SFF OC.
Really like the results, especially in VR with my new Pimax Crystal Light.
Overall I would estimate a 30% to 50% improvement in performance.
Getting around 50 fps in MSFS 2020, up from the mid 30s.
Did not bother with MSFS 2024 because of all those issues and the ugly scenery in the Alps.
In DCS I get mostly 90 fps. Sometimes dipping to 72, depending on scenery density.
I can even fly now in VR in XP 11 and XP 12.
So for me it really worked out well.
