Earlier in the month, we reported that NVIDIA was planning on releasing a new version of its GeForce RTX 5080, one with 24GB of GDDR7 graphics memory, while effectively replacing the current 16GB model that launched last year. While initially expected to launch sometime during the first quarter of next year, that window seems to have been narrowed down to January 2027.
According to the chatter in the Chinese tech portal, ChannelGate, NVIDIA has supposedly accelerated the release schedule of the RTX 5080 24GB GPU. To that end, we could hear about the card as early as December this year, before the card’s alleged launch.
