Just a day ago, we reported on a rumour that NVIDIA could end production of the RTX 5090 and redirect the silicon towards its RTX Pro Series, as well as the manufacturing of a new RTX 5080 with 24GB GDDR7 memory. Now, adding on to that rumour is an alleged launch window for the latter.
According to a report by Taiwanese outlet Benchlife, several NVIDIA add-in card partners were verbally informed that relevant materials for the alleged RTX 5080 24GB will be provided soon, but fell short of an exact date. On that note, the portal claims that NVIDIA plans to launch the card sometime during the first quarter of 2027, giving us a March 2027 launch window, at the latest.
