PNY's RTX 5080 GPU is $949 at Walmart during Black Friday — now $50 below MSRP for the first time

Happy Thanksgiving, and good luck with the deals hunting in the Black Friday sales. Today, we have one of the most powerful graphics cards currently available at $50 below MSRP at Walmart, thanks to its Black Friday pricing. The PNY GeForce RTX 5080 OC is now just $949 at Walmart and in stock. Nvidia, along with its AIB partners, released the 50-series range of graphics cards near the start of the year, and it's taken until now for many of these cards to return to anywhere near MSRP pricing or below. Checking PC Partpicker, we can confirm the $50 dip to the new price tag.

Keeping the same TSMC 4N node, the RTX 5080 houses the GB203 processor, along with 16GB of VRAM for playing the latest and greatest video games in high fidelity. If you want to power a high-resolution monitor with a very fast refresh rate, you will need one of the more powerful GPUs on the market to succeed, especially if you're looking at 4K gaming with high refresh rates.

Modern game titles can easily suck up the available VRAM on GPUs with 8 to 12GB, as I've found with games like Battlefield 6, which swallows 13GB with not even max settings. Games can store shaders and textures in memory, allowing for smoother gameplay at higher resolutions without compromising on graphical fidelity, so in some cases, having a larger VRAM budget is a bonus, and the good news is the RTX 5080 comes with 16GB.

The second most powerful Nvidia Blackwell GPU available currently, PNY's AIB variant features 16GB of the fastest GDDR7 VRAM using a 256-bit memory bus, which allows a memory bandwidth of 960GB/s. An increase in shader cores means the RTX 5080 rocks 10,752 CUDA cores, at a base clock of 2.3GHz, with the ability to boost to clock speeds to 2.62GHz.

The RTX 5080 has a small generational uplift over the previous generation in pure rasterization, with more gains in ray-tracing and DLSS 4 integration. You can see our testing results from our review of the RTX 5080, where we focus on gaming at higher resolutions such as 4K for this high-end graphics card.

Second only to the RTX 5090 and RTX 4090, the RTX 5080 is a high-end graphics card for equally high-end gaming PC setups, but it does come at a price. Paying anywhere near $1000 for a GPU is a hard enough pill to swallow, but you must also consider that you will require an adequately powered PSU and a decent gaming monitor. There is no point in buying a great graphics card if you don't have a good screen to experience it on, and vice versa.
