Apparently now we *won’t* see a 24 GB RTX 5080, which is probably actually good for our wallets

So, uhhh, apparently the long-rumoured 24 GB version of the RTX 5080 will not be coming to fruition, contrary to the previous rumour we reported on, which itself was contrary to previous rumours, which were contrary to pre– you get the idea. This latest one is a rumour, too, courtesy of Gazlog on X and made visible to us via the pretty reputable leaker Harukaze. The latter puts it clearly: "RTX 5080 24GB IS DROPPED."

Funnily enough, if plans for this GPU have indeed been dropped, I'm actually taking it as a win. That's because the previous word on the grapevine was that it would not be an additional GPU, but a replacement for the RTX 5090 and the regular 16 GB version of the RTX 5080.

In other words, gamers looking for a high-end GPU would almost certainly have to splash out even more cash than they already do to get their hands on one, or settle for an RTX 5070 Ti. With GPU prices being what they are already, that would be far from welcome news.

Given all this, what corroborates the latest rumour that the RTX 5080 24 GB is dropped is the fact that Nvidia has explicitly said that the RTX 5090 is not dead. That's according to Nvidia GeForce SVP Jeff Fisher:

"Although there are other variants of the RTX 5090 (chip), production has not been discontinued, and Nvidia will continue to ship, which is very important."

With the RTX 5090 still live, it makes less sense to release an RTX 5080 24 GB.
