Should you upgrade from the RTX 5080?
NVIDIA's current generation. Every Blackwell gaming card ships with enough VRAM and Tensor throughput for local AI inference alongside gaming, not just rasterization — the higher-VRAM models (5080 and up) are genuinely useful for both.
Too little gain for the money right now. Best deal delivers only 0.5% gain per CA$100. Wait for next-gen or a real discount.

Perf vs. Price
Updated daily
Perf Index: what it means
A unified score. Blends 3DMark Time Spy (70%) and FP32 throughput (30%). Formula: 0.70 × (TimeSpy ÷ 360) + 0.30 × (TFLOPs ÷ 1.65). Higher = faster.
% gain per CA$100: the only number that matters
(% faster than your card ÷ price) × 100. Over 18 is a steal, 6–18 is fair, under 6; wait for next-gen or a discount.

Caveats
Time Spy is synthetic: real-world gains depend on resolution and CPU bottleneck. We assume your PSU and CPU can handle the upgrade.
