NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 24 GB Reportedly Cancelled, 16 GB Model Remains

What happened

NVIDIA's rumored GeForce RTX 5080 24 GB model has reportedly been put on hold. According to a report from Board Channels, NVIDIA has already informed its add-in card (AIC) partners to officially cancel the January 2027 launch plan for the 24 GB model, citing economic challenges. The company is struggling to secure enough 3 GB GDDR7 memory modules and is instead opting for the less expensive 2 GB modules for the standard 16 GB version, which will remain available. The source states that, amid one of the worst supply chain shortages for memory modules, using the more expensive 3 GB GDDR7 modules would result in a significantly higher MSRP and consequently a higher price for customers. Reportedly no other changes were planned besides the memory configuration: the CUDA core count was to remain the same, and the 24 GB model would potentially have slightly higher TDP and clock speeds, with the main improvements coming from increased memory capacity and bandwidth. Since the revised model will apparently not arrive and there is no rumor of a "SUPER" overhaul anytime soon, the standard lineup will remain until the next-generation GeForce RTX 60-Series "Rubin" arrives.
