NVIDIA could launch the 24 GB RTX 5080 in December or January
, by Thibaut
The memory crisis has made top-of-the-line graphics cards completely unaffordable for the average consumer. Currently, an RTX 5090 can cost as much as $7,000, and an RTX 5080 can reach $2,000.
It is against this extremely tight backdrop that NVIDIA might choose to launch a new model sooner than expected. According to an article by Board Channels, the RTX 5080 24 GB is expected to arrive in December 2026 or January 2027. An announcement at CES in early January appears to be the most likely scenario.
Of course, the price is likely to skyrocket no matter what. No information has leaked on this yet, but we should expect the worst. We also don’t know if this RTX 5080 24 GB will have capabilities similar to those of the RTX 5080 SUPER, which has been the subject of speculation for some time. If that were the case, the improvement could be substantial.
