RTX 5080 Disappears From Nvidia's Store as Prices Reach $2,000

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.

After the RTX 5090 appeared to have been discontinued, the RTX 5080 has also disappeared from Nvidia's GeForce Marketplace, but there might be a replacement on the way. It's possible Nvidia is getting ready to replace the 16GB RTX 5080 with a 24GB model, though.

Most recently, a post on ChannelGate (via Club386), which tracks the tech supply chain in China, suggested that Nvidia is going to discontinue the original 5080, and replace it with a 24GB version as early as december. But while that would help the supply issue, with the price of memory right now, a 24GB graphics card is going to be even pricier.

This isn't the first time we've seen rumors of mid-generation graphics cards from Nvidia, though. Rumors for the RTX 50 Super series started spinning up late last year, only to supposedly be discontinued due to the RAM shortage all the way back in February.

For now, the most powerful consumer GPU you can buy from Nvidia's marketplace is the RTX 5070 Ti , which is a step down from the 5080. But, because prices are what they are right now, the 5070 Ti, which launched for $749 in 2025, will set you back at least $1,299 at the time of writing – which is more than the RTX 5080 launched for.
