  "account": "The RTX 5080, a high-performance graphics card, has vanished from Nvidia's online store as its price has skyrocketed to $2,000. This comes after the RTX 5090 was also removed from the GeForce Marketplace. However, there may be a replacement model in the works, potentially a 24GB version of the 5080, which could be released as early as December.\n\nA report from ChannelGate suggests Nvidia may discontinue the original 5080 and launch a 24GB variant. This replacement would likely be more expensive due to the current memory shortage. The powerful RTX 5070 Ti, the current top-of-the-line consumer graphics card, is already priced at $1,299. The situation appears dire, with the RTX 5080 on the verge of being discontinued or so scarce it may as well be. While there's a chance the 24GB RTX 5080 might appear in December or at CES 2027, Samsung's recent prediction of worsening RAM shortages in 2027 suggests the new card could be prohibitively expensive.",
  "summary": "As the RAM crisis has played out in 2026, graphics cards have been hit particularly hard, due to the high-performance memory that's stapled onto the things. And now it seems like the RTX 5080 may have been discontinued.",
