The fastest gaming card NVIDIA makes, and the only GeForce with 32 GB of memory, which is what makes it the local-AI card: it runs models a 16 GB card cannot hold. In Tom's Hardware's testing it leads the RTX 5080 by about 44% in Cyberpunk 2077 at 1440p, but it draws up to 575 W, needs a 1000 W power supply and has rarely sold near its $1,999 launch price.
