U gotta remember we got 16gigs of vram in much weaker 5060ti/9060xt so 5080 with only 16gigs always seemed wrong, 24gigs is defo futureproofed vs next gen games that will start appearing from 2027 onwards.
No they won't, 3GB chips barely released. RTX 6080 will be 256bit like 5080 and 4080, it will have 24GB of VRAM. Only way for 6080 to have more is having bigger bus cuz they for sure won't use clamshell mode (48GB).
"Scammed", "Rushed"... Aka, technology evolves and always has.
"A feeling"...do some maths instead.
Wanna see the impact of nvidia neural texture decompression's on Vram.
If you expect the 6080 to feature a larger bus than 256 bits (or clam-shell configuration for twice the number of modules) you are naive, at best.
And this guy doesn't understand anything about technology and economics.
There was no volume for launching the 50 series with 3GB modules, even now all cards using 3GB modules are extremely low volume like the 5090 mobile and Blackwell RTX Pro 5000.
5090 Super is the Blackwell RTX Pro 6000. It exists it's just gonna cost ya, how much is 96GB of VRAM and a almost fully enabled GB202 worth to you.
Yea but MSRP is supposed to be $600I've been playing on a Sapphire 9070 XT for a few months. My first AMD card after years of Nvidia cards - I've had zero issues of any kind. Everything just works great. You can find them in stock for $750-$800.
The super will have 50% more VRAM and a higher power limit. Imo it is worth it but we'll have to see how it's priced normally super cards just replace the old cards at the same price and considering there's a 5070ti super which will be slower than a 5080 I doubt the 5080 super will be much more expensive but anything is possible.
1080 was garbage $700 price for founders edition despite being a tiny baby chip and $600 for the later released cards. Last good deal was the GTX 580 it was the full 5090 class chip, fully unlocked and launched for $500. What a glorious time it was.
1080 ti was 700 dollars, not the 1080
It's worth it for the VRAM as long as it's priced OK but I don't understand the increase in power limit. Upping the current 5080 power limit does nothing when overclocked and there's no extra CUDA cores so what are they expecting to consume the power?
Are you bitching about Apple releasing the iPhone 18 only one year after the iPhone 17 too? Or a car maker that releases an updated model year 25 only 1 year after model year 24? Or any product that gets updated on a yearly basis?
Yes. And for Samsung. Just because others do it, doesnt mean its good. If you wanna be a corporate ass muncher and find excuses for them, be my guest.
It would be a consideration if they split the Cuda core difference and the RAM.
I don't think they can as 5080 is full die already? 5080 becoming a cut down GB202 would be an interesting move though.
Yeah. It's terrible. A company that upgrades their products when new technology is available.
As suspected. You didn't understand that part.
VRAM can be increased either by using a wider bus (housing more 32 bit VRAM chips) or by using higher capacity VRAM modules.
Yea but MSRP is supposed to be $600
it's not just this. They'll rush to buy ANY new tech. Nintendo, NVIDIA, Sony, Xbox, anything. You thought it was about games? WHAT fukin' games?
Yeah. It's hard for me to know. I really want my gaming pc end of august. But am will to wait if super is close to the 5080 Founders Edition.
That's what I'm trying to do. Current 5080s are $1300+. I suspect the founders might be even cheaper. I'll have to fight bots or get my own to buy. Really annoying. But best time.
Laptop is already using 3gb chips and have since launch. The laptop 5090 uses the same gb203 die as the desktop 5080 and launched with 24gb. The 3gb chips were available but they prioritized laptop first.
Abundance for months now. They are going to have to drop the prices on these cards or lots will be sitting on store shelves. $1200+ for a 5080 is ridiculous.
