The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 Super specs just leaked, suggesting loads more VRAM

Extra leaks are pointing to the launch of a brand new Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 Tremendous gaming GPU popping out, and the newest rumor once more seems to substantiate that the brand new GPU could have 24GB of VRAM reasonably than the 16GB on the usual RTX 5080. If this leak is correct, although, there’s not a lot else new – it essentially seems to be like an RTX 5080 however with extra VRAM.

Though it solely has 16GB of VRAM and a excessive $999 worth, the dearth of high-end competitors means the RTX 5080 remains to be the most effective graphics card you should purchase on this worth vary proper now. Nonetheless, as I discovered in my RTX 5080 evaluate, the comparative lack of VRAM can restrict this otherwise-powerful Nvidia GPU, which falls over in case you attempt to run Indiana Jones and the Nice Circle at 4K with path tracing, for instance.

Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 Tremendous specs estimate

That is our greatest estimate for the RTX 5080 Tremendous specs, primarily based on leaks and hypothesis, as no official announcement has been made.

The most recent RTX 5080 Tremendous specs rumor comes from common, and often-reliable, tech leaker kopite7kimi, who shared the rumored particulars in a submit on X (previously Twitter). In accordance with the leak, the RTX 5080 Tremendous will come outfitted with 24GB of GDDR7 VRAM, and in contrast to the 30Gbps reminiscence on the RTX 5080, it will likely be clocked barely increased so it runs at 32Gbps. If that is true, it will carry the entire reminiscence bandwidth up from 960GB/s to over the 1TB/s barrier at 1,024GB/s.

The leaked specs are in any other case principally equivalent to these of the usual RTX 5080, with the brand new GPU apparently primarily based on the identical GB203 core GPU as the unique 5080, and with the identical variety of CUDA cores enabled at 10,752. If that is the case, then we will additionally infer that the RTX 5080 Tremendous has 84 RT cores and 336 Tensor cores, as it will likely be primarily based on the identical core Blackwell structure as the usual card.

The full graphics energy has additionally apparently elevated, although, going from 360W to over 400W. A few of this might be coated by the rise in reminiscence clock pace, however it’s additionally attainable that the RTX 5080 Tremendous could have a better clock pace than the usual 5080.

Whereas it seems to be disappointing that the RTX 5080 Tremendous could solely have the identical core spec as the usual 5080, simply with extra VRAM, I welcome the potential addition of extra reminiscence for this high-end GPU. This choice would additionally make monetary sense for Nvidia and its board companions, because it means graphics card makers can slot this new GPU into present PCB designs for the previous GPU, simply with 3GB GDDR7 chips reasonably than 2GB ones.

After all, as with all tech leaks, that is nonetheless very a lot within the rumor neighborhood proper now. Nvidia hasn’t formally introduced the RTX 5080 Tremendous, and it might not even exist. Whereas we await extra info, try my information on how one can set up a GPU in case you’re considering of shopping for a graphics card improve, in addition to my RTX 5090 evaluate.
