#189 of 216 RTX 5080 PCs on value today (▼ 23 since yesterday)
Deal meter: 0/100

Lines at 60 and 144 FPS: 60 is smooth, 144 fills a high-refresh monitor (bright green 144 and up, light green 60 and up, yellow under 60). "est." means an estimate, not a run on this exact PC: the average of Justin's tests of PCs with the same CPU and graphics card, or estimated from his benchmarks of similar cards. A number without it is Justin's own measurement of this exact PC. Any setting but Max, native, frame generation off is an estimate ("est."); with frame generation on, the number is frames shown, and "feels like" is the frames the PC renders. Every game we cover
