What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Rumors regarding a January 2027 launch of the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 with 24GB GDDR7 memory are facing delays. This is because Nvidia reportedly has not provided the necessary design materials to its add-in board partners. Despite this, Seasonic recently included SUPER variants of the GeForce RTX 5080, GeForce RTX 5070 Ti, and GeForce RTX 5070 in its power supply calculator tool. Nvidia has not officially announced a 24GB GeForce RTX 5080 or a specific launch date.
