About 120–140 FPS in Minecraft at 4K (Max settings, native; estimate from Justin's testing, calibrated against published independent reviews)Estimated from Justin's testing, calibrated against published independent reviews: Justin measured the RTX 5080 at 130 FPS (max settings, native) with a Core Ultra 9 285K / Core i9 14th gen (CPU class 3); no run with a CPU of this PC's class (4) or a weaker one measured it here, and that run is GPU-bound (well under class 3's CPU cap), so it is the card's own cap, under this PC's CPU cap.
