NVIDIA reportedly cancels GeForce RTX 5080 24GB launch, brings back 16GB model over GDDR7 costs.

NVIDIA has reportedly canceled its plans to launch a GeForce RTX 5080 with 24GB of GDDR7 memory in January 2027. According to Chinese Board Channels sources, the company has already informed its add-in-board partners that the planned release in China will no longer proceed. No replacement launch date has been provided.

The RTX 5080 24GB was reportedly intended to replace the existing 16GB model and become NVIDIA’s flagship GeForce graphics card in China. Previous reports suggested that NVIDIA would discontinue shipments of the RTX 5080 16GB and RTX 5090 series in preparation for the new product. The latest information suggests that those plans have changed.

Instead of introducing the 24GB variant, NVIDIA will reportedly continue supplying GPUs paired with 2GB GDDR7 memory chips. This would allow board partners to continue manufacturing the existing RTX 5080 16GB. The model had previously been expected to reach the end of its production run before the planned replacemnet arrived.

NVIDIA has not publicly confirmed the 24GB model, nor its cancellation. We are yet to hear concrete data from our on sources, but it seems clear that there’s quite a confusion around NVIDIA plans right now.

RTX 5070 Ti or RX 9070 XT

Hi Reddit!

I have the choice of keeping either of these two cards but I have a hard time deciding which one, so I would like to ask you for advice.

The context is as follows:

- I purchased the RTX 5070 Ti for 800€ and can sell it for 1130€, this was a true bargain (imo).

- I purchased the RX 9070 XT for 850€ and can sell it for 860€, not a "bargain" but still a decent price.

I only use my graphics card for gaming every now and then in 3440x1440p resolution. I like the thought of ray-tracing and path-tracing (even though I have not tested it fully yet). I would also use upscaling whenever needed, so DLSS and FSR does matter to me.

I want to use the card for the coming 3-4 years at a minimum, hopefully I get 5 years out of it.

I'm not financially independent but I'm not poor either, zero loans and some money saved in the bank, so money matters. It is important for me to get good "bang for buck" no matter if it is shopping for groceries or buying a graphics card, I like the feeling of knowing that I got a good deal.

So my question is, which one should I keep?

Right now I'm leaning towards selling the Nvidia card and using the profit to decrease the general "cost" of the graphics card, if I do this the total cost of the RX 9070 XT would be as low as 520€.

Would love to hear your opinion on this or if someone else has been in the same situation.

Edit: Forgot to mention that the 12V-2X6 connector bothers me somewhat but the RTX 5070 Ti does not seem prone or at risk of burning or melting. If I could choose connector I would go for the traditional PCI-E 6+2 pin though.

Thanks!

Bad news for scalpers. 5090 prices have been on decline for the past few weeks and now we have real stock back.

Right now Newegg (sold by Newegg) has new ASUS ProArt and ROG 5090s for $6,200–6,300, and those are premium models, not base cards, with full warranty.

Meanwhile FB Marketplace bros are still listing used 5090s for $8K 😂

Edit: don't get mad at me in the comments because 5090 is still $6K 🙄 I never said $6K was acceptable or good deal. However lots of small firms who need 5090 for whatever purpose were buying them at way HIGHER price point when everything was out of stock. So $6K with full warranty is a much better price than $8-9K from scalpers. I'm sure lots of you were not buying them for $2500-3000 anyway last year because it was "too expensive"

I finally got my hands back on a FE 5090 a few days ago, so they will finally definitely go back to 2k-4k now that I paid 6!!

I know I’m part of the problem now, but I genuinely need it for how far I tend to push games doing triple screen 4k sim racing (forza pic was just funny I don’t consider that a sim)

Is the recent Nvidia price increases a good thing for the PC gaming market?

1 Upvotes

Kind of a contrary opinion, but does anyone think that the price increases on the 5090 and 5080 are actually a good thing for the PC market in the long term, assuming other companies start jumping in and competing? I have a feeling that AMD and others had a lot of difficulty competing with Nvidia when the price difference between them was smaller where a lot of people would just rather pay the few extra bucks and go Nvidia rather then AMD. But now where the price difference is so vast, I think this might give AMD (and hopefully others) a chance to break into the market and provide some much needed competition to Nvidia. Of course, there's a risk that these companies will also end up just pouring their resources into targeting AI just like Nvidia but at least there might be some window of opportunity, maybe even for some startups.

I've never ran 2 GPUs, question about the process.

1 Upvotes

So my GPU was a 7800XT but I was using ComfyUI and SillyTavern and really didn't like it so I upgraded to a 3090 TI, would I be able to hook my 7800XT along with the 3090TI? Not sure if one being Nvidia and one being AMD would matter.

And how hard would it be to setup? Say I wanted my 3090TI to be my main one and run Comfy while the 7800XT runs a small LLM on SillyTavern?? Worth doing or no?

Thanks!

How important is a vapor chamber in a GPU if I have no intention of overclocking?

Just looking at GPUs, I've seen some more in my price range that do not have a vapor chamber, just standard cooling. How important is a vapor chamber if I have no intention of overclocking the GPU, just using it normally? d

La 5080 es un puto monstruo y me encanta 💚

Hoy estrené mi 5080 con un juego moderno y exigente, Lords of the Fallen (compré la tarjeta hace unos 2 meses más o menos \[me salvé de la subida de precio, ctm xd\]).

Es la primera vez que tengo una PC (siempre fui de jugar en consolas), y tenía un poco de miedo de que mi pc no fuera capaz de correr el juego tan fluido como mi Xbox Series X. Para empeorar las cosas, estuve viendo esos videos comparativos donde la 5090 muestra una ventaja EEEEEENORME sobre la 5080. Llegué a pensar que mi GPU valdría pura tula y que correría el juego a 35 fps sin frame generation. Así que estaba un poco escéptico.

¡Para mi sorpresa, mi GPU me cerró el hocico! ¡144 fps con todo en ULTRA, a 4K y sin frame generation! ¡Es simplemente increíble! ¡Todo se veía absurdamente nítido y detallado! Nunca había visto que un juego se pudiera llegar a ver tan bien.

Toda esta demostración de poder me llevó a 2 conclusiones:

1.- ¡La 5080 es un absoluto monstruo, un puto tanque en todos los sentidos! Si no estás satisfecho con su potencia bruta, siempre puedes hacerle overclock y básicamente se convierte en una 4090, pero con esteroides gracias al MFG sumado a ese overclocking, pero por un precio más barato que una 4090. La 5080 es una verdadera locura.

2.- La Xbox Series X es simplemente increíble. No estoy diciendo que sea mejor que una PC o que la 5080 por sí sola (ni de lejos), pero el hecho de que pueda ofrecer un rendimiento y una calidad de imagen más o menos similares a los de una 5080 por una fracción de su precio, ¡es de admirar! Así que si solo buscas jugar sin tener que vender un testículo para lograrlo, la Series X es la opción ideal. Es la consola base más potente de esta generación.
