I have a 5080 and it worked well with some issues:
Finding a distro that would boot from USB was a headache. Bazzite and Mint wouldn’t load, but Fedora did. HDR worked in videos, but not in games. I didn’t experience any performance issues with GPU heavy games, though I had to fudge around with Proton versions to get Armored Core 6 to work.
Valve Index worked with beat saber, but I could not mirror the VR to my TV using steam link. The index had poor frame rates for playing non-VR games in theatre mode.
OpenRGB still doesn’t have support to change the RGB on my card (Gigabyte Aorus).
Using
nomodeseton the kernel boot command line usually helps with booting if it's a graphics problem.True, I had to use that with another instruction when I tried to boot a usb with Ubuntu on it and it worked.
