If the 5090 dual-die rumors are true it might be enough performance to warrant upgrading from my 4090, but I was hoping to get 5 years out of it.

Yes, Blackwell should be on PCiE 5.0.
And yes, 16GB is not enough for 2024/5, especially for a $1000+ card. But it is nGreedia we are talking about here, so why give you more when you can buy two!
The latest rumour is that whatever succeeds Blackwell may be out by Q2 of 2026, so Blackwell may only have 12-16 months on the market. Then I would expect 48GB on the 6090, 24GB on the 6080, 16GB on the 6070, 12GB on the 6060, and finally 8GB on the 6050, as 2025 is when 3GB VRAM chips are due to be released.
So think twice before buying a 5080 if it's $1200+ and only 16GB. I will not buy it if it's only 16GB, and I'm desperate because I still use a 2070, but I'm not going to blow that kind of money on a card that might only be out for 16 months!
If it has the rumoured 512Bit memory bus with 32GB of VRAM, then 5 years is not completely unreasonable, but maybe 3 or 4 years before some titles tax it too hard for ultra settings and high framerates. Not sure I'd blow the best part of $2,500 on a card that only lasts 3 years though!

Enthusiast level tier touted for the Chinese ai market that matches the mid tear vram size from its competitors that will likely cost more than the rejected price from it's previous 4080 at $1199. Would Pcie 5.0 make a difference when tpu shown pcie scaling with the 4090 with 1 outlier?

i dont know what will happen if the rtx 5080 with PCIE 5.0 16x, can plug in to PCIE 3.0 16x..... ??
yess, i hope rtx 5080 is equipped with VRAM 20gb, if still VRAM 16gb, it will be very useless for 4K pc gaming AAA in the future, and it has the same fate as rtx 4080 16gb today.

The 5080 doesn't necessarily have to cater to the 4K gamers to be successful. There are plenty of gamers running 1440p high refresh monitors and they want very high fps. Probably a lot more than are running 4K. What doomed the 4080 imo was the absurd MSRP.
RTX 2080 $700
RTX 3080 $700
RTX 4080 $1,200
Gamers rightly balked at paying that silly amount and even the 4080 Super with a MSRP of $1,000 doesn't seem very appealing from what I see people saying but part of that is it's arrival so late in the Ada cycle.
I agree though that the 5080 should have more than 16 GB VRAM for the 4 year lifespan that is common but Nvidia also needs to get the price right from the beginning. The 5090 will probably sell well just like the 4090 did for the 4K niche gamers and the prosumers. They are used to paying a lot.
