Considering all that, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 Founders Edition is the graphics card we recommend if you're looking to play high-resolution, high-refresh-rate games, and plan to spend anything in the region of $1,000. For that, it merits our Editors' Choice award.

The RTX 5080 is the best $999 GPU on the market, offering high-end performance at a fraction of the cost of the 5090.

It's not going to be easy to buy a new RTX 50 Series GPU at launch, but I'm watching the best retailers with listed stock updates.
