It seems the RTX 5080 exposes Nvidias real problem - they have a hard time making gpus faster without needing DLSS4 tricks - the 5080 is only about 10% faster than the 4080:

Power consumption is fine though - but it's only 50% faster than my RTX 3090, and 50% isn't cutting my cake:
I might need to wait for the 6080 - to get hopefully at least 24GB vram and maybe close to 100% better speed than 3090 - at 300 watts.
The 5090 feels forced - too heavy (3+ kg), too thick (4 slots or close), and too much power consumption.
The 5090 is 50% faster than 5080, but 5090 uses 80% more watts - clearly Nvidia is burning the 5090 midnight oil to get that performance.
The distance in performance between 5080 and 5090 is also too big with 50% - should not be more than about 15-30 % - I guess there's plenty of room for a 5080 Ti/Super 😎
