What does this comparison mean?
The 5080 beats the 9070 XT in the supplied benchmark, while both have 16GB. The price and features of the exact card can decide a closer real purchase.
Both variants have 16GB of graphics memory. Memory capacity, board dimensions, power connectors and the price of a particular used card are separate from this benchmark. Compare the exact item before deciding whether to upgrade.
The two GPUs in context
RX 9070 XT 16GB
The 16GB RX 9070 XT gave RDNA 4 a credible upper-tier launch and a clear improvement in Radeon ray tracing. Its long-term influence remains unproven, so this assessment centres on its documented first-year performance and position.
RTX 5080 16GB
The RTX 5080 is a capable 4K Blackwell card, yet its native-rendering advance over the 4080 Super was modest for a new generation. It remains a high-end option, with a legacy still too young to judge firmly.

How the figures are compared
Both FPS figures come from the owner-supplied GPUsed benchmark dataset. GPUsed reports a continuous FurMark run at 1080p for its physical-card checks. The percentage above compares the higher model average with the lower one; the score scales every model against the fastest GPU in the current dataset, which scores 100. A benchmark result does not predict gaming FPS, and the percentage may change with the benchmark dataset.
