Overview
GeForce RTX™ 5080 16G VANGUARD SOC LAUNCH EDITION
The GeForce RTX™ 5080 16G VANGUARD SOC LAUNCH EDITION represents the pinnacle of gaming and content creation. As a limited-edition “Launch Edition” variant, this GPU combines factory-tuned Super Overclock (SOC) performance with exclusive styling, premium cooling, and next-generation architecture. Perfect for enthusiasts who demand both performance and prestige.
Next-Gen Performance with Authority
Powered by NVIDIA’s most advanced architecture in the 50-series, the RTX™ 5080 VANGUARD SOC Launch Edition delivers extreme frame rates, instantaneous responsiveness, and seamless rendering across AAA games, virtual production, and professional workloads. With factory SOC clocking, it delivers higher boost speeds out of the box for headroom in overclocking.
16GB GDDR7 High-Bandwidth Memory
Equipped with 16GB of GDDR7 memory, this card offers ultra-wide memory bandwidth, enabling ultra-detailed textures, large datasets, high-resolution rendering, and effortless multitasking. Whether gaming, streaming, or working on 3D production, it handles it all without bottlenecks.
Launch Edition Styling & Build Quality
This Launch Edition variant features exclusive cosmetics: a heritage “Launch Edition” badge, special color accents, and refined shroud elements that distinguish it from standard variants. The reinforced full-metal backplate, sturdy frame, and structural support ensure rigidity and help cool passive heat loads.
SOC Cooling & Thermal Engineering
To match its overclocked performance, the VANGUARD SOC includes an advanced cooling solution: high-static-pressure dual or triple fans (variant dependent), precision heat pipes, and an expansive heatsink array. Dynamic fan curves maintain silence during light loads while ensuring robust cooling during heavy use.
Real-Time Ray Tracing & DLSS 4
Harness the power of real-time ray tracing to produce lifelike lighting, reflections, and shadows. With DLSS 4, AI-driven frame generation allows ultra-smooth performance at high resolutions while maintaining visual fidelity.
