Rumour: NVIDIA prepares a 24GB RTX 5080 for Q1 2027
Reddit and Taiwan’s BenchLife say it would replace the 16GB card; partners reportedly still lack development documents.
This is a rumour attributed to the stated source. Its contents have not been verified as an official announcement.
A GamingLeaksAndRumours post citing Taiwan’s BenchLife says NVIDIA is preparing a GeForce RTX 5080 with 24GB GDDR7 for Q1 2027. It would replace, rather than coexist with, the 16GB model. This aligns with hongxing2020 and MEGAsizeGPU rumours of discontinuing RTX 5090 and the 16GB RTX 5080.
BenchLife adds that add-in partners have not received development documentation for the 24GB version, only verbal indications that materials will follow. That suggests the Q1 2027 window could change.
A producer’s perspective
If the card is in pre-production, delayed documentation could move the Q1 launch and disrupt partners’ production scheduling. Assessing the risk requires official confirmation of technical document delivery and validation timelines.
