AMD Playstation 5 Pro GPU vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 SUPER Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data provides a single benchmark result for the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 SUPER, while the AMD Playstation 5 Pro GPU has no benchmark scores in the database. This means the comparison is limited to the one available datapoint. The RTX 5080 SUPER scores 3075 points in the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test. The PlayStation 5 Pro GPU has an average benchmark score of 0, so there is no direct numerical comparison to draw from this specific test.

Looking at the RTX 5080 SUPER's position among its nearest rivals in the database, the score of 3075 places it slightly below the NVIDIA Quadro P1000, which averages 3163 points, a difference of -2.8 percent. It also trails the Intel Arc Pro B60, which scores 3182 points, a delta of -3.4 percent. Conversely, the RTX 5080 SUPER outperforms the NVIDIA GeForce 820A, which averages 2983 points, by 3.1 percent, and it beats the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 860M, which scores 2967 points, by 3.6 percent. These deltas are narrow, indicating that the RTX 5080 SUPER sits in a tight cluster with these competing cards in this particular workload.

The RTX 5080 SUPER's percentile ranking among all GPUs in the database is 19, which means 81 percent of recorded graphics cards score higher in the aggregated benchmarks. This percentile figure, combined with the near-parity results against its four nearest rivals, suggests that the Steel Nomad DX12 result does not reflect a top-tier position. The AMD PlayStation 5 Pro GPU, with a percentile of 50, sits at the median of all GPUs, but since it has no benchmark scores, that percentile is based on no recorded performance data and cannot be interpreted as a measured result.

Since the head-to-head benchmark array is empty and the PlayStation 5 Pro GPU has no entries in its benchmarks list, the database contains no test where both cards ran the same workload. The only actionable conclusion from the benchmark section is that the RTX 5080 SUPER's single recorded score places it within a few percentage points of four other GPUs, none of which are the PlayStation 5 Pro.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD PlayStation 5 Pro GPU wins in scenarios where its console-specific design matters. It is a console GPU from Sony, built on the Viola chip with RDNA 2.0 architecture, and it is currently in active production. Its release date is recorded as November 6, 2024. The RTX 5080 SUPER, by contrast, is a GeForce 50-series part with a release date of December 31, 2025, so it is a later and more recent product. The PlayStation 5 Pro GPU has no benchmark wins recorded in the database, and the RTX 5080 SUPER also has no benchmark wins recorded, as the winsA and winsB fields are both zero. This means neither card has a measured advantage in any test.

Where the PlayStation 5 Pro GPU does hold an edge is in its physical and power characteristics. It draws 232 W, which is lower than the RTX 5080 SUPER's 415 W. It is also smaller in one dimension: the PlayStation 5 Pro GPU measures 386 mm in length, 216 mm in height, and 89 mm in width, while the RTX 5080 SUPER measures 304 mm in length, 137 mm in height, and 40 mm in width. The PlayStation 5 Pro GPU is longer, but the RTX 5080 SUPER is taller and thicker. The PlayStation 5 Pro GPU uses a single HDMI 2.1 output and one USB Type-C port, whereas the RTX 5080 SUPER offers one HDMI 2.1b and three DisplayPort 2.1b outputs. For a console environment, the PlayStation 5 Pro GPU's integrated design with its specific display outputs is tailored to that use case.

The RTX 5080 SUPER wins in raw compute specifications. It delivers 56.28 TFLOPS of FP32 performance, which is more than three times the PlayStation 5 Pro GPU's 18.05 TFLOPS. Its FP16 performance is also 56.28 TFLOPS at a 1:1 ratio, while the PlayStation 5 Pro GPU achieves 36.10 TFLOPS at a 2:1 ratio. The RTX 5080 SUPER has 10752 shading units, 336 texture mapping units, and 112 render output units, all of which exceed the PlayStation 5 Pro GPU's 3840 shading units, 240 TMUs, and 64 ROPs. The RTX 5080 SUPER also has 84 RT cores and 336 tensor cores, features that the PlayStation 5 Pro GPU lacks entirely, as its RT core and tensor core fields are null.

The RTX 5080 SUPER's FP16 performance runs at a 1:1 ratio with FP32, indicating full-rate half-precision compute, while the PlayStation 5 Pro GPU's FP16 is at a 2:1 ratio, meaning half-rate.

The RTX 5080 SUPER supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2) and Vulkan 1.4, while the PlayStation 5 Pro GPU lists DirectX as N/A and supports Vulkan 1.2. This reflects the console's proprietary software stack versus the PC-oriented feature set of the NVIDIA card. Memory architecture also differs fundamentally: GDDR6 on a 256-bit bus for the PlayStation 5 Pro GPU versus GDDR7 on a 256-bit bus for the RTX 5080 SUPER, with the latter achieving 1.02 TB/s bandwidth versus 576.0 GB/s.

The Verdict

The data in the database does not support a direct performance comparison between these two GPUs, as the PlayStation 5 Pro GPU has no benchmark results and the head-to-head array is empty. The only measurable benchmark belongs to the RTX 5080 SUPER, which scores 3075 in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 and sits at the 19th percentile among all GPUs, with its nearest rivals all within a 3.6 percent range.

For a user considering the RTX 5080 SUPER, the recorded data shows a card with high compute specifications: 56.28 TFLOPS FP32, 24 GB of GDDR7 memory, and 1.02 TB/s bandwidth. It also draws 415 W and requires a dual-slot cooler with a 16-pin connector. The PlayStation 5 Pro GPU, by contrast, offers 18.05 TFLOPS FP32, 16 GB of GDDR6 memory, and 576.0 GB/s bandwidth, with a lower 232 W power draw. Its 50th percentile ranking, based on no recorded scores, indicates a median position in the database, but that figure carries no measured weight.

The RTX 5080 SUPER is the choice for applications requiring maximum compute throughput, dedicated RT and tensor cores, and the latest DirectX 12 Ultimate and Vulkan 1.4 API support. The PlayStation 5 Pro GPU is the choice for a console environment, with its integrated design, HDMI 2.1 output, and lower power consumption. The launch MSRP for the PlayStation 5 Pro GPU is 699 USD, and for the RTX 5080 SUPER it is 999 USD. Given the absence of shared benchmarks, the database cannot declare a winner in performance; it can only report that the RTX 5080 SUPER has a recorded score while the PlayStation 5 Pro GPU does not.
