Nvidia may launch a 24 GB RTX 5080 in early 2027
Nvidia may release an RTX 5080 graphics card with 24 GB of memory in early 2027, according to a report from Taiwan.
The company has reportedly told graphics-card partners about the proposed model, but they have not received firm details.
The card would have twice the memory of the current RTX 5080, which has 16 GB.
The extra memory could help people run AI models on their own computers, rather than improve gaming performance.
The RTX 5080’s main chip is already being fully used, so the new model is not expected to have more processing cores.
The same report says Nvidia may stop making the RTX 5090 and the 16 GB RTX 5080, but these plans remain unconfirmed.
If the new card goes ahead, it could arrive around early 2027, though there is no confirmed launch date.
Nvidia may replace the 16 GB RTX 5080 with a 24 GB version in early 2027, according to a report cited by PC Gamer.
The report says add-in board partners were verbally told that development information for the proposed card would be released soon.
The card remains a rumor, and partners reportedly have no concrete details.
PC Gamer says the existing RTX 5080 chip is already fully utilised, so the new card may not bring higher core counts or gaming improvements.
The extra memory could appeal to people running local AI models, according to PC Gamer.
