Rank #3 in Best RTX 5080 Graphics Card: 10 Ranked, All 16GB GDDR7 and a £474.75 Gap
Gigabyte RTX 5080 AERO OC SFF 16G
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5080 AERO OC SFF 16G is third in this guide of ten RTX 5080 cards. At £1,408.97 it sits £119.00 above the cheapest card here and £355.77 below the dearest, in a field spread across £474.75. Gigabyte sells it on the two things the name promises: a short card and a factory overclock, with a dual BIOS for switching between a Performance and a Silent profile.
Its own spec table is worth reading before the box arrives. It gives a 2730 MHz GPU clock and a 28000 MHz memory clock, and the memory figure is at least written out in full — not the "30 MHz" or "2640 GHz" entries that appear elsewhere in this guide. The same table then gives the maximum display resolution twice: "4K" in one field and "7680x4320 Pixels" in another, which are not the same number. It also lists the box contents as "Manual" and files an "Antenna Location" of "Gaming". The rating is 4.5 from 117 ratings, while the star breakdown shown alongside it adds up to 100. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing, not from testing we carried out.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“Top end graphics card overclocks quite well at 3200MHz+ core and 1000MHz+ Memory.No issues so far, should be bit cheaper in my opinion.”
Verified purchase“I have always and will only use gigabyte. This card is a quite cool beast. Running 4k native 120fps and with frame gen getting near 350 in some games. It's highly recommended. The little screen is grand. No complaints”
