- A leak has detailed the claimed specs of Nvidia’s RTX 5080 Tremendous
- Some players may see this refreshed GPU as underwhelming – it doesn’t add any further cores into the combo, notably
- Nonetheless, there are sturdy upgrades elsewhere with the video reminiscence and likewise clock speeds
One other rumor about Nvidia’s RTX 5080 Tremendous has been aired and we’ve bought a have a look at what are supposedly the total specs of this GPU.
As VideoCardz identified, leaker Kopite7kimi has posted the claimed specs for the rumored graphics card on X, and which will imply Nvidia has simply supplied mentioned particulars to its graphics card making companions (they usually leaked from there). Or, it would imply exactly nothing, as a result of as ever, rumors, very like demons, want appreciable salting.
GeForce RTX 5080 SuperPG147-SKU35GB203-450-A110752FP32256-bit GDDR7 24G 32Gbps400+WMight 20, 2025
The important thing elements of the specs are that the RTX 5080 Tremendous will supposedly use the identical GPU because the RTX 5080, which is the GB203 chip. Because the RTX 5080 has already maxed out the cores on that chip, the core rely would be the similar with the Tremendous model of this graphics card – there’s no room to maneuver to extend it.
The large improve comes from the leap from 16GB to 24GB of video RAM (VRAM), and in addition to that fifty% uplift, the leaker believes Nvidia goes to make use of sooner reminiscence modules right here (32Gbps moderately than 30Gbps).
We’re additionally informed that the TDP of the RTX 5080 Tremendous goes to sit down at 400W, or it would use much more energy than that.
Evaluation: Crunching the specs and never forgetting about clocks
Taking a look at these specs, you may suppose: how is the RTX 5080 Tremendous going to be a tempting improve on the vanilla model of the GPU? It has the identical CUDA core rely, and considerably sooner video reminiscence, however solely round 7% extra VRAM bandwidth than the RTX 5080. So, what provides?
Nicely, don’t neglect that added to that VRAM increase, the RTX 5080 Tremendous is anticipated to have significantly sooner clock speeds. Pushing these clocks sooner is why this incoming GPU goes to chug greater than 400W (maybe a good bit extra) in comparison with 360W for the plain RTX 5080.
So, should you’re anxious that the RTX 5080 Tremendous could signify an underwhelming prospect when it comes to an improve over the RTX 5080, don’t be. (Though you could have issues about your PC’s energy provide as an alternative). All that is in step with earlier hypothesis that we’ll see one thing like a ten% efficiency increase with the RTX 5080 Tremendous versus the essential model of the GPU, or perhaps even barely extra (up in the direction of 15%, even).
Plus that a lot greater allocation of 24GB of VRAM goes to make a distinction in some eventualities the place 4K gaming coupled with very excessive graphics settings will get extra demanding with sure video games. (A state of affairs that’s solely going to worsen as time rolls on, should you’re excited about future-proofing, which ought to all the time be one thing of a consideration).
On prime of that is the truth that Nvidia is falling out of favor within the client GPU world, with AMD’s RDNA 4 graphics playing cards making a severely optimistic affect on Group Purple’s possibilities – and gross sales. The most recent RX 9060 XT reveal has just about gone down a deal with, too, so I don’t suppose Nvidia can danger damaging its standing with PC players any additional, frankly, by pushing out subpar Tremendous refreshes.
Talking of refreshes – with the emphasis on the plural – earlier rumors have additionally theorized an RTX 5070 Tremendous graphics card with 18GB of VRAM is on the boil, however that’s notably absent from Kopite7kimi’s submit right here. That doesn’t imply it isn’t occurring, nevertheless it could possibly be learn as an indication that the RTX 5080 Tremendous goes to reach first.
Once more, earlier spinning from the rumor mill signifies a really broad 2025 launch timeframe for the RTX 5080 Tremendous, but when the specs actually are selected at this stage – and it’s an enormous if – that implies Nvidia intends to deploy this GPU sooner, moderately than later, this 12 months.
