The RTX 5080 uses NVIDIA's Blackwell architecture with 5th-generation Tensor Cores -- the same Tensor Core generation you'll find in the NVIDIA DGX Spark workstation. For small, less demanding models this GPU is more than capable, but quantized models are essential to ensure the parameters fit into a GPU's VRAM.
