These GPUs, loaded with high-end specifications, have shown promising Linux performance in initial reviews. With the new 570.86.16 beta Linux driver, early benchmarks indicate stable results for both gaming and GPU compute tasks. Further performance data is anticipated following the official driver release. ## Content # NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 and RTX 5090 Linux Performance Review NVIDIA's latest graphics cards, the GeForce RTX 5080 and RTX 5090, are generating a lot of excitement in the tech community. Set to go on sale tomorrow at $999 USD for the RTX 5080, these GPUs are packed with impressive hardware specs and have undergone thorough testing on Linux. ## GeForce RTX 5080 Specifications The GeForce RTX 5080 boasts the following features: - 10,752 CUDA cores - 2.62GHz boost clock speed - 16GB of GDDR7 video memory - 5th generation tensor cores - 4th generation ray-tracing cores - 360 Watt power rating - Requires a PCIe Gen 5 cable Initial tests on Linux have focused primarily on GPU compute performance, with gaming benchmarks to follow soon after the release of the R570 Linux driver. ## Beta Driver Release The newly published NVIDIA 570.86.16 Beta Linux driver includes support for both the GeForce RTX 5080 and the RTX 5090. This driver update is crucial for unlocking the full potential of these GPUs on Linux platforms. ## Performance Benchmarks Early performance reviews, conducted with the new 570.86.16 beta driver, have shown stable and impressive results for both gaming and GPU compute tasks. The benchmarks compared the RTX 5080 and RTX 5090 against previous generations of NVIDIA GeForce RTX and AMD Radeon RX cards. The results indicate that both cards are performing well with no significant issues on Ubuntu Linux. ### Gaming Benchmarks Gaming performance tests reveal that the RTX 5080 and RTX 5090 are capable of delivering high frame rates and smooth gameplay experiences on Linux. However, more detailed gaming benchmarks are expected following the official release of the R570 Linux driver. ### GPU Compute Performance The initial focus on GPU compute performance has demonstrated substantial improvements over previous generations, thanks to the advanced CUDA cores and tensor cores. These features make the new GPUs highly suitable for compute-intensive tasks such as machine learning, scientific simulations, and rendering workloads. ## Conclusion The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 and RTX 5090 have shown promising results in early Linux performance reviews. With the support of the 570.86.16 beta Linux driver, users can expect robust performance for both gaming and professional computing applications. As further benchmarks and real-world tests are conducted, these new GPUs are poised to set a new standard in the market. ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Don’t just attend KubeCon \+ CloudNativeCon, Merge Forward your experience\!](https://daily.dev/posts/don-t-just-attend-kubecon-cloudnativecon-merge-forward-your-experience--l0rpp73x8) · CNCF · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [Announcing H2 2026 KCDs](https://daily.dev/posts/announcing-h2-2026-kcds-m96goajm1) · CNCF · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [Two months of Open Community Groups](https://daily.dev/posts/two-months-of-open-community-groups-asf52zhbs) · CNCF · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [CNCF Unveils Schedule for KubeCon \+ CloudNativeCon Europe 2026](https://daily.dev/posts/cncf-unveils-schedule-for-kubecon-cloudnativecon-europe-2026-ikhcoa5cb) · CNCF · 2 upvotes · 0 comments - [CNCF Debuts KubeCon \+ CloudNativeCon Japan 2026 Schedule](https://daily.dev/posts/cncf-debuts-kubecon-cloudnativecon-japan-2026-schedule-xp5pyudub) · CNCF · 1 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#performance](https://daily.dev/tags/performance), [#linux](https://daily.dev/tags/linux), [#gaming](https://daily.dev/tags/gaming), [#nvidia](https://daily.dev/tags/nvidia), [#gpu](https://daily.dev/tags/gpu) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/nvidia-geforce-rtx-5080-and-rtx-5090-linux-performance-review-gy1djuv1k) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 and RTX 5090 Linux Performance Review","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/nvidia-geforce-rtx-5080-and-rtx-5090-linux-performance-review-gy1djuv1k","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/nvidia-geforce-rtx-5080-and-rtx-5090-linux-performance-review-gy1djuv1k"},"datePublished":"2025-01-30T21:10:51.911Z","dateModified":"2025-01-30T21:11:07.757Z","description":"NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 5080 and RTX 5090 GPUs are about to hit the market, priced at $999 USD for the RTX 5080.
