In a surprising twist to NVIDIA’s release schedule, the GeForce RTX 5080 is now rumored to be launching ahead of the RTX 5090. This news comes from renowned leaker “kopite7kimi“, who clarified recent speculations about the release order of the upcoming GPUs.
Speculations Surrounding the Release
Contrary to initial reports that the GeForce RTX 5090 would hit the market first, sources now indicate the RTX 5080 will debut earlier. While NVIDIA has yet to make an official announcement, this adjustment could mirror the launch sequence of the RTX 30 series back in 2020.
What to Expect from the RTX 5080
The RTX 5080 is anticipated to feature groundbreaking technology, including the new GDDR7 memory and a fresh GPU architecture. Expectations are high that it will outperform the existing RTX 4090 in rasterization performance.
The gaming community is keen to see if the RTX 5080 will indeed surpass the performance capabilities of its predecessors, especially in demanding 4K gaming scenarios. With the RTX 5090 also on the horizon, touted to offer significantly improved ray tracing performance and potentially equipped with next-gen DLSS 4 upscaling, the stakes are high for NVIDIA’s next-gen GPUs.
