It's safe to say a new Nvidia GPU is coming, but new leaks suggest the RTX 5080 will show up before the RTX 5090. Specifically, we could be looking at a mid-January launch for the 80-class card, and the RTX 5090 might not show up until later in the year.

According to sources speaking with Wccftech, Nvidia is tipped to launch its first RTX 50-series GPU in January 2025, with the RTX 5080 graphics card being the first to ship. This GPU will offer 16GB of GDDR7 VRAM, which matches previous leaks suggesting the RTX 5080 will sport 16GB of video memory.

The GeForce RTX 5080, a new high-end graphics card from NVIDIA that was derived from the company's latest "Blackwell" architecture, will be available for purchase ahead of the GeForce RTX 5090, green team's next flagship GPU for gamers and creators,
