Benchlife: Nvidia Partners Told 24GB RTX 5080 Data Due Soon
Benchlife reports add-in board partners were verbally told development data for a 24GB RTX 5080 is coming soon, with an expected launch in early 2027.
Benchlife reported that Nvidia add-in board partners were verbally informed that product development data for a 24 GB RTX 5080 will be released soon. According to the report, the card is expected to replace the 16 GB RTX 5080 and launch in early 2027, possibly around CES 2027.
The claim comes from Benchlife, which cited verbal communication with board partners rather than a public Nvidia statement. No official specifications, pricing or release date have been announced by Nvidia.
In October 2025, rumors suggested the RTX 5090 is being axed in favor of shifting GB202 GPUs to professional RTX Pro cards. Benchlife also reported that the RTX 5090 is ending commercial production, and Moore's Law is Dead stated their sources claimed an RTX 6090 launch is due in the first half of next year.
A 24 GB RTX 5080 Super was previously proposed, with 24 GB as its VRAM quotient, and the RTX 50-series Super/refresh has been on and off again multiple times. The RTX 5070 Ti carries a $1,500 sticker price.
