With the massive gap between the 5080 and 5090, it seems probable that Nvidia is going to release a 5080 TI, likely within the next 10 months.

I'd guess is that it's going to have 24 Gigs of memory, will have equivalent performance to the 4090 (maybe 5% faster), and will have an MSRP of $1300. That would mean that by the time it comes out, the price/performance improvement over the 4090 would only be about 20% in 3 years. That's obviously crap, but I don't think we can expect anything better from Nvidia these days.

Of course I'm not basing this on anything other than pure speculation, and I'm curious to know what other people think the specs/price would be.

 

[kiphalfton]

$2000 MSRP

 

[Schmendrick]

- ~10% more power, if at all.
- 24GB RAM
- ~1200+ msrp

 

[Lucifers Beard]

A really fucking expensive disappointment.

 

[Black_Stride]

We didnt get a 4080Ti.
I have no hope for a 5080Ti.

We arent even gonna get a 5080 Super because the 5080 already uses the entirety of 203.

Nvidia made enough last gen with the 4080 and 4090 they realized they dont need to bridge the gap between xx80 and xx90.
202 is going to be 90, 90D and Pro only.
They arent cutting that chip for a 80Ti.

 

[Setsuna Mudou]

A 4090...

Thank you... I'm here all week

 

[joeygreco1985]

4090 equivalent at $2000 USD MSRP

 

[rm082e]

Yeah, a 4090 for more money and with almost no stock available. It's not really worth talking about.

We're stuck in this swamp until the bottom falls out of the AI market and Nvidia has to come back to gamers with reasonable offers, or until AMD catches up to Nvidia's current high end (4090 & 5090), which will probably be another 3 years.

 

[Bojji]

Just vram upgrade and that's it.

Isn't 5080 full die already?

 

[Hawk The Slayer]

4090 seems about right.

 

[Mister Wolf]

A 4090......

 

[nowhat]

A really fucking expensive disappointment.

I'd phrase is like more like "a really expensive fucking disappointment". Like my kid.

(j/k, she's lovely. Also not a kid, anymore, my opinion may have changed over the years.)

 

[OverHeat]

 

[LordCBH]

About $1500. Scalper price will push it to almost $2k.

 

[asdasdasdbb]

Could put 3 GB chips that use faster memory with a modest clock speed increase.

 

[Xyphie]

If one emerges there's two options really:

1. 5080 + 24GB RAM + 450W
2. more heavily binned 5090 (~128SM) with like 24-30GB RAM

Yeah, I was thinking it would use a cut down 5090 chip as opposed to the 5080 one.

 

[Sanepar]

A crap gpu like all 5000 series.

 

[KuraiShidosha]

This is the worst time in GPU history for me, and I've been building since around 1999. I just recently sent my 4090 FE to Nvidia for RMA, and some piece of shit working at FedEx stole it from the box. Now I'm waiting on FedEx to do an investigation and if they don't approve my claim, I'm shit out of luck. Looking around at the GPU market today, it's absolutely hopeless. The only card worth spending money on is the 5090 and I am NOT dropping $3000+ on a fucking graphics card, especially one that is such a mediocre upgrade from my 4090. I just want my card back. Fucking god this sucks.

 

[Black_Stride]

Nvidia being fair with VRAM?
Hahahaha not likely.

Going to 24GB of VRAM with a 5080 also wouldnt make much sense because they would have almost no way of showing that the card is better than the 5080.
I think maybe like Flight Simulator 2024 would show it off, but most mainstream games wouldnt show any real advantage of owning a 5080Ti over a 5080.

GB203 is already at its limit......3200Mhz is considered an amazing result, almost all 5080s get within 50Mhz of that number, and gain at best 1fps.

If one emerges there's two options really:

1. 5080 + 24GB RAM + 450W
2. more heavily binned 5090 (~128SM) with like 24-30GB RAM

GB202 is near literally twice the physical size of GB203, it makes more sense to use binned 202s on the PRO cards.
The Pro 5000 has like 14000 CUDA cores.....almost half the 24000 in the full chip.
At that size you would logically think they would put it in a 5080Ti.......Nope they can charge 4500 dollars for the heavily cut down GB202, they couldnt make that kind of money from a 5080Ti.
It makes no financial sense to use such a large chip for a card that costs less than a 4090.

 

[PeteBull]

Since 5080 is already made on full chip, future 5080ti/s or ti super has to be cut down 5090 die, which means it will be very expensive, with at least 1500 usd msrp and 2k usd+ streetprice.

Depending how much they gonna cut it down, we gonna get 20 or 24gigs of vram, performance wise it will land around 4090, if we getting more cutdown version then it will be roughly on pair with 4090 and 20gigs of vram(maybe 5%lower performance avg, but highly depending on particular game, oced it will beat stock clocked 4090).

If die gonna be not so heavily cut down then we will get 24gigs of vram and around 10 maybe 15% performance above 4090 on stock clocks, thats kinda it.

Wont launch earlier than in 2026 tho so dunno if it wont be smarter by then just to skip it and get rtx 6080 in 2027 on 3nm process node, lower powerdraw and new archi already.

 

[FingerBang]

There is definitely space for a 4090like at 1500, but not if these things keep flying off the shelves and not if the price doesn't go down.

Otherwise it will be a fake MSRP and it will still be 2000+. It honestly seems like Nvidia left that massive hole on purpose.

Yup GB202 is way too big to sell for anything less than ~1500 MSRP.
And they have the Pro 5000 they can use binned GB202s in, that card is 4500 MSRP.
If they need to get rid of more 202s they can introduce a Pro 5500.
As the generation goes on they will just use the left over too fucked 202s on base 5080s and 5070Tis

 

[Guardian Monkey]

Probably $1500 for founders and just over perform the 4090.

 

[Hawk The Slayer]

It should be stronger and more expensive than the 5090 just to fuck with everyone.

 

[DenchDeckard]

I'd legit buy it tbh. If it was like £1,299 (probably won't be)

Cut down 5090 chip with slightly more performance than 4090. Like a few percent but with faster memory etc. That would be cool.

 

[Shadowstar39]

unaffordable to most but the super wealthy or people that don't have their priorities straight.

Let me know when high end is back to being under $1000 and xx60 cards are $200 bones.

 

[lachesis]

I don't think you can expect big jump from existing process node in meaningful way. The process has matured, so they may be able to push a bit more voltage/amperage to the chip and the RAM to go faster... but for next 5080 revision (Ti or Super) - I think it will be modest 3-5% increase in CUDA core, and some modest bump in clock speed in both the chipset and RAM, but I do hope it will come as 24gb as standard, essentially matching 4090 in stock performance, at $999 FE (hopeful, but doubtful) - to $1299 (more likely)

That's not happening. It's going to be same chip as 5080, maybe a bit higher clocked, but with either 20 or 24GB of VRAM.

Edit: 4080 Super was basically discounted 4080. Don't expect much out of 5080 Super except more VRAM and higher prices.

5080 Ti class cards have always been a cut down 90 series / Titan chip havent they?

1080Ti onwards I thought.

3080Ti was not and neither was 4080 Super unfortunately.

 

[BennyBlanco]

- ~10% more power, if at all.
- 24GB RAM
- ~1200+ msrp

Crazy that were at the point where this actually sounds like a decent deal for a 24 gig card. I'm so happy FSR4 seems to be good.

 

[Vindicator]

Slower than a 5080 Ti Super.

 

[Celcius]

I think nvidia wants the huge gap between the 5090 and everything else. They want to sell the more expensive chips.

 

[Marlenus]

I expect it to be out of stock.

It doesn't have to be a great upgrade. Just something.

3080Ti was not and neither was 4080 Super unfortunately.

The 3080Ti was a cut down 102.
The 3080 was also a cut down 102
Thats why the 3080 was such a good buy at the time, it was within spitting distance of the 3080Ti and 3090 while being much cheaper.

The 2080Ti was a cut down 102 vs the Titan.
The 1080Ti was a cut down 102 vs the Titan Xp.
The 980Ti was a cut down 200 vs the Titan X.
The 780Ti was a full GK110 but that generation the Titan was literally two 780Tis on one PCB.
Before this Ti were reserved for lower end chips to fill in the gaps and 90s were usually just two 80s on one PCB.




The 40 series is what really started skimping, cuz there was no 80Ti and the 80 was much much weaker than the 90.

 

[tmlDan]

why is the 40 series still so damn expensive in Canada, its too old for them to overprice it like this

 

[cinnamonandgravy]

out of stock

 

[PeteBull]

Coz nvidia stopped producing them a while ago, to make artificial scarcity which obviously gonna increase prices of 50xx series cards.
Those are things top1 market value corpo in the world has to do to stay on top, gotta be ruthless to every1, including their own customers- cant always count on crypto boom or pandemic to keep gpu prices high, they know ppl gonna pay as long as they got no other choice, so its just a matter of making proper market conditions.
Amd is on board too btw, their msrp prices are just as fake as nvidias, hell lets not look far and check rx 7800xt that launched 1,5years ago at 500$msrp.

Current cheapest model in the US at 654$:

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/X8QwrH/yeston-sakura-radeon-rx-7800-xt-16-gb-video-card-rx7800xt-16gd6

2nd cheapest, this time wellknown model/brand but still its a base cooling, nothing premium at 664$:

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/fcBzK8/sapphire-pulse-radeon-rx-7800-xt-16-gb-video-card-11330-02-20g

U can even see pricing history of that exact model, was at 470$ back in dec 2024 so 5 months ago, hell 480$ early feb 2025 so barely 2months ago, no more obviously

Hell here in poland we usually got nasty gpu prices with solid markup(usually even 30% higher) compared to the US but currently its visibly cheaper:
https://www.morele.net/karta-grafic...-rx-7800-xt-16gb-gddr6-11330-02-20g-13095047/ 2249pln aka 590usd (final price after taxes/tariffs etc)

Nvidia has already made that card. It's called the Blackwell RTX Pro 5000. You're welcome:

5080 Super is easy. Higher power limit and better bins and the most important part: 3GB memory modules giving it 24GB of VRAM on its 256bit bus, it's a slam dunk.

The question is whether Nvidia wants to do it now or wait for the 6080.

Even a Super on GB203 doesnt make much sense it would just be a 5080'24G like there was a 3080'10G and 3080'12G with the 12G being marginally faster, didnt constitute it being a Super let alone a Ti the same would apply here.
An OC would be the laughing stock of reviewers even with an extra 50W.......the extra VRAM would be almost impossible to show off, I think only like Flight Simulator 2024 would actually show gains from going to 24GB otherwise every other game would show the exact same results as the chip would choke at the same points before hitting the VRAM limit.


For it to be a Ti it would have to show some gains in core count, but GB203 is tapped out going up to 202 isnt logical right now "early" in the generation as GB202 is much much more valuable in near literally everything else.
The Pro 5000 is like a half a GB202 (pretty much perfect for a 80Ti) and it cost 4500 dollar entry price, you think Nvidia is gonna give up that money to make a card that they would then have to sell for like 1600 dollars?

 

[//DEVIL//]

IF i have to guess, there are 2 options

1- overclocked 5080, which will result to 10 performance boost. 15% max. with either 20gb or 24 gb
2- underclocked 5090. 15 to 20% performance boost. same mem configuration

price about 1300$ if its 1, 1600$ if its 2.

Not going to be lower price than a 4090.
