PNY GeForce RTX 5080 Slim Dual Fan OC

Manufacturer: PNY

The PNY GeForce RTX 5080 Slim Dual Fan OC is a graphics card based on NVIDIA's Blackwell architecture, designed to fit into a compact dual-fan form factor with a 300 mm length and 150 mm height. It delivers 58.71 TFLOPS of floating-point performance and operates at a base clock of 2295 MHz, boosting up to 2730 MHz under load. The card supports ray tracing, DLSS, DirectX 12 Ultimate, and RGB lighting, while accommodating up to four displays simultaneously through its combination of one HDMI 2.1b port and three DisplayPort outputs.

On the memory side, the card is equipped with 16GB of GDDR7 VRAM running across a 256-bit bus at an effective speed of 30000 MHz, yielding a maximum bandwidth of 960 GB/s. The GPU integrates 10752 shading units, 336 texture mapping units, and 112 render output units, with a texture rate of 917.3 GTexels/s and a pixel rate of 305.8 GPixels/s. Manufactured on a 5 nm process with 45.6 billion transistors, it carries a 360W TDP, connects via PCIe 5.0, supports ECC memory and Intel Resizable BAR, and comes with a 3-year warranty.

Pros

Supports up to four simultaneous displays through a combination of one HDMI 2.1b and three DisplayPort outputs
58.71 TFLOPS of floating-point performance with Double Precision Floating Point support broadens its suitability beyond graphics-only workloads
16GB of GDDR7 VRAM running at 30000 MHz effective speed with 960 GB/s bandwidth handles large texture and data loads
ECC memory support helps maintain data integrity in error-sensitive workloads
Compact dual-fan form factor at 300 mm x 150 mm offers more flexibility for system builds than larger triple-fan designs
Comes with a 3-year warranty, providing extended post-purchase coverage

Cons

360W TDP places significant demands on system power delivery and case cooling
No USB-C output limits connectivity options for users with modern USB-C monitors
Water cooling is not supported, leaving thermal management entirely dependent on the dual-fan air cooler
256-bit memory bus width is narrower than what some higher-end cards in the same segment offer
No DVI or mini DisplayPort outputs may require adapters for users with older display equipment

Who is this for?

This card suits users who need a capable GPU in a more space-conscious build, as the dual-fan 300 mm x 150 mm form factor allows installation in cases that cannot accommodate larger triple-fan designs. With 58.71 TFLOPS of floating-point performance, DLSS and ray tracing support, and 16GB of GDDR7 VRAM, it fits well for users engaged in demanding graphics workloads such as high-resolution gaming or real-time rendering. The inclusion of Double Precision Floating Point and ECC memory support also makes it a reasonable fit for users running compute-intensive or data-sensitive tasks alongside visual workloads.

Who is this NOT for?

Users who rely on USB-C monitor connectivity will find this card limiting, as it offers no USB-C output and only a single HDMI port alongside three DisplayPort outputs, which may require adapters in certain setups. The 360W TDP makes it a poor fit for compact or low-power system builds where the power supply and airflow cannot comfortably support such thermal demands, particularly given that water cooling is not an option on this model. Those with older display equipment depending on DVI connections will also find the port selection incompatible without additional adapters.

Final Verdict

The PNY GeForce RTX 5080 Slim Dual Fan OC brings together a compelling set of specifications in a relatively restrained physical footprint, making it a practical option for users who need serious GPU capability without committing to the bulk of a triple-fan design. Its 16GB of GDDR7 VRAM with 960 GB/s bandwidth, combined with ray tracing, DLSS, and Double Precision Floating Point support, gives it genuine breadth across both graphical and compute-oriented workloads. The 360W TDP and lack of water cooling mean system compatibility deserves careful consideration, and the absence of USB-C output is a minor but real limitation for some users. Overall, this card represents a well-rounded option for those who value a balance between spatial efficiency and high-end specification depth, provided their system is equipped to handle its power requirements.
