Schrödinger's GPU set for an early 2027 release as the dead/alive 24 GB RTX 5080 Super box is shaken once more
"Hey, you still in there?"
Rumors suggest that Nvidia is planning to release a new GPU with 24 GB of VRAM in early 2027, likely in the form of an RTX 5080 Super box. This comes from a throwaway paragraph in a post on Benchlife about the RTX 5090 being discontinued. AIBs and AICs have been informed verbally that a 24 GB RTX 5080 will have its product development data released soon.
ASUS and MSI have reportedly not been given much information, indicating that production may not be far along. While there is no guarantee that a new GeForce GPU will be released in 2027, the rumors indicate that the RTX 50-series Super/refresh may finally happen. The GB203 chip in the RTX 5080 is already fully utilized, so any new card is unlikely to have higher core counts or significant gaming improvements.
However, the increased VRAM will benefit local AI models that builders may want to use instead of high-end professional cards. Once the supply of GB202 GPUs is exhausted, they will be exclusive to professional RTX Pro cards. In summary, the top two cards of the RTX Blackwell generation will likely be tied off for gamers, leaving only the RTX 5070 Ti as the top-end choice for PC users.
