NVIDIA has reportedly halted plans for a 24 GB version of the GeForce RTX 5080 graphics card. The company informed its add-in card partners that the launch, originally scheduled for January 2027, is officially cancelled due to economic constraints and supply chain issues.
The primary obstacle is a shortage of 3 GB GDDR7 memory modules. Utilizing these components would have necessitated a higher retail price for the final product. Consequently, NVIDIA will continue to rely on 2 GB GDDR7 modules for the standard 16 GB RTX 5080 model.
The 24 GB variant was expected to feature increased memory capacity and bandwidth, along with potentially higher clock speeds and TDP. However, the CUDA core count was set to remain identical to the standard version. No further revisions or Super-branded models are currently anticipated.
