While the remaining RTX 50 lineup adopts 28 Gbps VRAM, Nvidia is rumored to equip the RTX 5080 with faster 30 Gbps modules.

Come on NVIDIA! Put more memory on your new graphics cards! This is not enough.

They won't there is a workstation graphics card market they need to protect.

Make it a 3 slot card if that's what it takes to make the workstation users pause!

I bought a few A4000s due to being single slot cards with 16 gigabytes of vram each for an LLM project.

At this point, I'd be surprised if they don't release the 5080Ti with 24GB VRAM.
But I doubt we'll get to see it before 2025 May, assuming they release 1 card per month.

4 year old 3090 will be superior than a 5080 in vram limiting scenarios 🤪!
Also possible neural network dlss ai textures inbound exclusive to Blackwell scaled performance with vram size. 😳

They can refresh everything with 3 GB modules for 9/12/18/24 GB. Maybe call it SUPER at the same time.

Not having them ready for the launch of Blackwell is a bummer though.

The VRAM limiting scenarios aren't going to include gaming for the most part.

Even for AI, if it can fit in 16 GB, the extra performance and bandwidth will be helpful.

960GB/s would be pretty impressive and almost as fast as Radeon VII had nearly 6 years ago with 4096-bit HBM.

Of course HBM turned out to be too expensive for anything but GPGPU computing so no consumer card has had it since, but it's good to see economical narrow-bus GDDR7 catching up to early HBM.

Do you mean 2026?

Those are very ... rare.

By the time your at that much VRAM for a single scene, things like bandwidth and GPU compute have already limited you to pretty bad frame rates.

No, the GDDR7 24Gbit modules are entering mass production right now.
The manufacturers are unlikely to have sufficient stock until 2025 March at the minimum.

Based off of how Nvidia released desktop GPUs in the past, a 2025 Jan launch for 5090 and 5080 would be followed by
5070Ti in March
5070 in April
5060Ti in May
5060 in June
and maybe a 5080Ti 24GB in July, although it can be as late as Sept.
It's usually a launch every month with no more than 3 months in between.
They like to dominate the news cycle and a launch every month accomplishes that.

Would love to see a 5080 TI with a 384bit memory bus and 24GB of vram but that may compete with the 4090 so that might be downgraded to a 320 bit memory bus with 20GB of vram I guess we shall see.

even if 3Gb module are available nvidia most likely going to use them later for the super refresh.

Such a card would be released in 2026 for the refresh cycle and the 4090 wouldn't be in production then.

If they had them available at the start, they could do preemptive repairs on the lineup like a 5060 12 GB and no 8 GB. But as is customary they will launch first and fix it with SUPER later.
