Nvidia RTX 5080 Super rumours surface

Nvidia's RTX 50 series GPUs remain a hotbed of leaks, with the latest whispers pointing towards RTX 5080 Super variant specifications. The original source of this information is unknown, but it has been shared online by well-known leaker Kopite7kimi.

According to Kopite7kimi, the RTX 5080 Super will reportedly feature the GB203-450 GPU, retaining the same 10,752 CUDA cores as the standard RTX 5080. However, the key upgrade lies in its memory configuration. The rumoured Super model is tipped to come with 24 GB of GDDR7 VRAM, which is expected to be achieved by using 3 GB GDDR7 modules.

This memory improvement isn't just about capacity. The RTX 5080 Super is also rumoured to pack in 32 Gbps GDDR7 memory, making it the fastest GDDR7 specification. This speed increase, combined with its 256-bit memory bus, would push the card's bandwidth from 960 GB/s to 1024 GB/s. Naturally, this bump in memory capacity and performance is expected to come with higher power demands, with the RTX 5080 Super reportedly estimated to draw around 400 W, up from the 360 W of the RTX 5080.

The leaker has not specified a release date for the RTX 5080 Super, nor confirmed the rumours regarding the RTX 5070 Super, which was also reported to contain 18 GB of memory.

KitGuru says: In most cases, the rumoured RTX 5080 Super shouldn't be any faster than the RTX 5080 in gaming. However, there are a few cases where 16 GB of VRAM isn't enough; for those, the extra 8 GB of VRAM will surely help.
