Choose the RTX 5080 if you want the ray tracing NVIDIA lists and the DLSS 4 features NVIDIA lists, including Multi Frame Generation and Ray Reconstruction.

AMD lists GDDR6 and 64 MB of Infinity Cache on the RX 9070 XT. NVIDIA lists GDDR7 on the RTX 5080. The amount matches. The memory type does not."},{"question":"Which uses more power, the RX 9070 XT or the RTX 5080?","answer":"AMD rates the RX 9070 XT at 304 W typical board power and recommends a 750 W minimum power supply, with a 2x 8-pin connector. NVIDIA rates the RTX 5080 at 360 W total graphics power and lists 850 W required system power. NVIDIA says that 850 W minimum is based on a PC configured with a Ryzen 9 9950X processor, and that power requirements can differ by system. NVIDIA also says graphics card specifications may vary by add-in-card manufacturer."}],"attribution":{"source":"A Versus B","url":"https://www.aversusb.net/compare/rx-9070-xt-vs-rtx-5080","license":"CC BY 4.0","citationFormat":"According to A Versus B (https://www.aversusb.net/compare/rx-9070-xt-vs-rtx-5080), For 1440p value, choose the Radeon RX 9070 XT: AMD launched it at a $599 suggested price with 16 GB of GDDR6, while NVIDIA lists the GeForce RTX 5080 from $999 with 16 GB of GDDR7, so both have 16 GB ","dateModified":"2026-10-06T00:00:00.000Z"},"relatedQuestionsUrl":"https://www.aversusb.net/api/faq/rx-9070-xt-vs-rtx-5080","relatedComparisonsUrl":"https://www.aversusb.net/api/v1/related/rx-9070-xt-vs-rtx-5080","knowledgeGraphUrl":"https://www.aversusb.net/api/knowledge-graph/rx-9070-xt-vs-rtx-5080"}
