| RTX 5080 | 16GB | 4K high · high-refresh 1440p | High end |
| RTX 5090 | 32GB | 4K ultra | Flagship |
Sorted roughly from slowest to fastest in normal (non ray-traced) gaming. Cards in the same class trade wins depending on the game.
How to read this
8GB vs 16GB VRAM: 8GB cards are fine for 1080p, but some newer games already need lower texture settings to run smoothly on 8GB. If you plan to keep the card for years or move to 1440p, the 16GB version is worth the extra.
NVIDIA vs AMD: NVIDIA is usually ahead in ray tracing and has DLSS. AMD often gives more raw performance and VRAM per dirham and has FSR. Both are great — pick on price and the games you play.
