Schrödinger's GPU set for an early 2027 release as the dead/alive 24 GB RTX 5080 Super box is shaken once more

It kinda looks like the only actually gaming-focused Nvidia GPU we're going to be left with next year is an RTX 5070 Ti. And even then only at a massively inflated price point. That's my personal takeaway from the rumours of the RTX 5090 being axed in favour of shifting GB202 GPUs to professional RTX Pro cards, and of a 24 GB RTX 5080 being brought in to replace the 16 GB version in early 2027.

This comes from almost a throwaway paragraph towards the end of a post on Benchlife about the bye-bye of the RTX 5090 from commercial production. According to the Taiwanese outlet, add-in board/card partners (AIBs or AICs) have been informed, verbally, that while they don't have anything concrete as yet, a 24 GB RTX 5080 will have its "product development data" released soon.

So, folks such as Asus and MSI have reportedly not been told much about the proposed new card, and that I would therefore take to mean we are nowhere when it comes to actual production right now. But, given that 24 GB was the VRAM quotient for a previously proposed RTX 5080 Super, there's a good chance those partners already have pretty much all the info they need to be able to spin up production in good time for a Q1 2027 launch.

But these are still naught but rumours, and the RTX 50-series Super/refresh has been on and off again more times than a six month-old Windows 11 machine trying to finish an update.
