Bottom line: how fast is the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080?

At 1440p (Ultra, Native), the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 averages 280 fps in Counter-Strike 2 with a 240 fps 1% low, per Puget Systems. For local LLM inference it generates 182.0 tokens/sec running llama2:7b at q4_0 under llama.cpp, per llama.cpp GitHub. In 3DMark Fire Strike it scores 79,045 points, per LanOC Reviews. Its 16 GB of VRAM is the binding constraint for local inference: that capacity fits 13-17B-parameter models at Q4 with room for long context.

Every figure above is a row in the tables below, and each row links out to the review or public benchmark database the number was taken from. SpecPicks aggregates published measurements; it does not report first-party benchmark runs.
