  "account": "Recent reports suggest that the highly anticipated 24 GB RTX 5080 graphics card may not be released, a move that could be beneficial for consumers. This information comes from a rumour shared by Gazlog on X, verified by leaker Harukaze. According to Harukaze, the RTX 5080 24GB is being dropped. Interestingly, if this GPU is indeed cancelled, it is viewed as a positive outcome, as the previous speculation indicated that it would serve as a replacement for the RTX 5090 and the 16 GB variant of the RTX 5080. This would have resulted in high-end GPU models with significantly increased costs or forcing consumers to settle for lower-end options like the RTX 5070 Ti. Given the already high prices of GPUs, this development is welcomed.\n\nSupport for the latest rumour that the RTX 5080 24GB is being dropped stems from Nvidia's statement confirming the RTX 5090's production is not halted. Nvidia GeForce SVP Jeff Fisher confirmed that the RTX 5090 is still being manufactured, stating that Nvidia will continue to ship the GPU. This is crucial information, as it indicates that the RTX 5080 line is not being discontinued entirely.\n\nThe official announcement from Nvidia revealed that the RTX 5090's production will continue, which is significant. However, the pricing of the RTX 5080 24GB is a concern. According to the announcement, the 24GB version would utilize 3GB of GDDR7 memory, which is approximately three times more expensive than the 2GB found in the previous model. This high cost would make the GPU difficult to sell at a reasonable price point, thus casting doubt on its production.\n\nIt is also possible, although less likely, that Nvidia might cancel the 16 GB RTX 5080 and release a 24 GB version alongside the still-elusive RTX 5090. Given that the RTX 5090 is currently in short supply and commands a high price, there would still be room for the 24 GB RTX 5080, potentially targeting AI workloads. Despite this possibility, the RTX 5080 is now priced well over $2,000, making it inaccessible for most PC gamers.",
