NVIDIA is reportedly set to launch a new version of its GeForce RTX 5080 graphics card, featuring 24GB of GDDR7 graphics memory, in January 2027, according to ChannelGate. This update is said to replace the current 16GB model that was released last year. The accelerated release schedule for the RTX 5080 24GB GPU was disclosed, with the card potentially making an early appearance in December 2026.
ChannelGate also reported that NVIDIA plans to discontinue not only the RTX 5080 16GB model, but also the RTX 5090D V2, which is specifically designed for the Chinese market. This decision will make the RTX 5080 24GB the most powerful and highest-end model available in China. The information regarding the RTX 5090's discontinuation was previously dismissed as unfounded rumors, but NVIDIA's plans to focus on its RTX Pro series GPUs may explain this shift.
ChannelGate stated that the company has already sold its remaining stock of the 16GB model and any remaining inventory is expected to last for about two months. The sudden increase in pricing for the RTX 5080 may be attributed to this shift in the market. The RTX 5080 is currently being sold at an average price of RM10,000 on e-commerce platforms like Lazada and Shopee, with some physical stores offering it for less.
