Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The ZOTAC Gaming GeForce RTX 5080 Solid Core OC is the sixth card in this ten-card RTX 5080 guide, listed at £1,458.49 and rated 4.6 out of 5 from 66 ratings. It sits £168.50 above the cheapest card here (£1,289.99) and £306.25 below the dearest (£1,764.74). Like every other card in the round-up it reports 16 GB of GDDR7 on a 256-bit interface, so what the extra spend over the £1,289.99 end of the list buys is cooling and clocks, not capacity.
This card's own spec table is where the numbers stop lining up. It prints a GPU clock speed of 2640 GHz, which is not a speed any graphics card runs at, and a memory clock speed of 30 GHz — the 30 Gbps figure from ZOTAC's own bullet points with the wrong unit attached. The IceStorm 3.0 cooler, its three 90mm BladeLink fans and the bundled GPU support stand are the parts of this listing that hold together. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing for this card, not from testing we have carried out.

Questions people ask
What GPU clock does the ZOTAC RTX 5080 Solid Core OC list?
The spec table prints 2640 GHz. No graphics card runs at 2640 GHz, so that is a clock written in the wrong unit — and the same table does it a second time with memory.
What does the listing say for memory clock speed?
30 GHz. The bullets for the same ZOTAC card say 30 Gbps, which is the figure that matches the 16 GB of GDDR7 running on a 256-bit bus.
How much memory does the ZOTAC Gaming RTX 5080 Solid Core OC have?
16 GB of GDDR7 on a 256-bit interface, stated in both the title and the bullets. It is the same figure reported by every card in this ten-card guide.
What comes in the box?
The ZOTAC Gaming GeForce RTX 5080 SOLID CORE OC card, a GPU support stand, a 3x 8-pin-to-16-pin cable, a user manual and a quick start guide.
How is the card cooled?
IceStorm 3.0, with three 90mm BladeLink fans, a vapour chamber, composite heatpipes, a pass-thru airflow design and FREEZE fan stop.
How is it rated by buyers?
4.6 out of 5 from 66 ratings. The star breakdown on the same listing adds up to 100 ratings — 81 of them at five stars — which averages to exactly 4.6.
