Nvidia’s RTX 4080 launched with a $1,200 price tag, and many thought that to be too much. The Super variant fixed that problem, pushing the price down to $1,000. Could Nvidia then turn around and bring it back up to $1,200 to $1,500 for the RTX 5080? I hope not. We’ll find out more on January 6 when Nvidia officially announces the graphics card.

A new rumor suggests the next Nvidia graphics card launch will see the RTX 5080 gaming GPU released well before the flagship RTX 5090.

It has been the better part of a year since Nvidia announced its next-gen Blackwell architecture. While most of the focus at the time was on Blackwell's AI "Superchip" format, the design will also be at the heart of Nvidia's new consumer GPUs.

As per the leaks, the RTX 5070 Ti is set to feature the GB203-300-A1 GPU, equipped with 8,960 CUDA cores, offering a substantial increase in processing power compared to its predecessor. The card is rumored to include 16GB of GDDR7 VRAM on a 256-bit memory interface,
