NVIDIA Tunes GeForce RTX 5080 GDDR7 Memory to 32 Gbps, RTX 5070 Launches at CES
NVIDIA is gearing up for an exciting showcase at CES 2025, where its CEO, Jensen Huang, will take the stage and talk about, hopefully, future "Blackwell" products. According to Wccftech's sources, the anticipated GeForce RTX 5090, RTX 5080, and RTX 5070 graphics cards should arrive at CES 2025 in January. The flagship RTX 5090 is rumored to come equipped with 32 GB of GDDR7 memory running at 28 Gbps. Meanwhile, the RTX 5080 looks very interesting with reports of its impressive 16 GB of GDDR7 memory running at 32 Gbps. This advancement comes after we previously believed that the RTX 5080 model is going to feature 28 Gbps GDDR7 memory. However, the newest rumors suggest that we are in for a surprise, as the massive gap between RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 compute cores will be filled... with a faster memory.
The more budget-friendly RTX 5070 is also set for a CES debut, featuring 12 GB of memory. This card aims to deliver solid performance for gamers who want high-quality graphics without breaking the bank, targeting the mid-range segment. We are very curious about pricing of these models and how they would fit in the current market. As anticipation builds for CES 2025, we are eager to see how these innovations will impact gaming experiences and creative workflows in the coming year. Stay tuned for more updates as the event approaches!

i could be wrong and its just Nvidia being an asshole, probably a little of both though imo. I mean what happens in 2035 when we can't get anymore die shrinks and chiplet designs have been maxed out, what product you going to sell? (assuming AI wasn't a thing)
5080 DOA lol
Another 5080 12GB fiasco if the specs are true. If prices just continue to increase for the same or similar level of performance the vast majority of people are not going to be able to enjoy these "innovations". This is why chiplets needs to be a thing in the GPU space. I very much doubt the limits of chiplet design are exhausted by 2035. They are just so many options dis-aggregation of a chip allows, particularly as interconnect and die stacking technology evolves and enables more creative ways of doing so. There are a lot of innovations happening outside of that as well including backside power delivery, gate all around, stacking, interconnect innovation, different substrate materials (like glass for example), ect. People have been saying we'd stop shrinking chips time and time again but the industry keeps proving them wrong. This is a combination of human ingenuity and the massive amount of growth we continue to see.
Nvidia has a gross margin of 75%. Part of the price increase is due to increase in costs but most of it is simply because Nvidia can charge that much and get away with it. They are are virtually uncontested outside of AI (88% marketshare beats even Bell Systems at 85%, which was broken up as a monopoly) and in AI competitors have to play catchup to a company known to employ anti-competitive practices to lock customers in or coerce vendors (or else they'll pull your allotment in typical Nvidia fashion if you don't bend to their will).
This thing will only have what, maybe 15% more performance than mine with the new memory? Then it will only have 12GB, also, Frame Generation and DLSS do not count as rasterization performance increase, just stop already, just stop. This pandering to nVidia is just idiotic, if you don't buy the top card, you are just essentially screwing yourself, there is no good card to be had.
It's all so tiresome.
As for performance,
5070 = 4080
5080 = 4090
5090 = 30% higher than 4090
I just like trying to think of different things is all, I have enough backlog I am set for ten years, so I don't give a damn really, I'm set
They are going to feed a load of blueprints into an off grid custom built chatGPT then tell Alexa to get to work.
Fixed. No need to thank me.
Nvidia need to stop gimping their GPUs with pitable ammount of VRAM. They obviously love to do that because they do not want people to use their consumer cards instead of enterprise cards to train AI but it's a complete joke at this point.
I mean, who knows, maybe NV goes full Pascal and surprises us with good value. I can huff some sweet copium, right?
This is at least possible, unlike AMD doing something right.
As long as we are making risky bets, I am throwing all my chips on the table for Moore Threads becoming a true-bred NV competitor after being bought out by… I dunno, Xiaomi?
In other words - I too like science fiction and cocaine.
Also you might want to double check the avg margin on Nvidia products.
All we see here is indeed, a clown world of marketing and supposed 'leaks' that really serve only and exclusively for Nvidia to test the waters in the consumer base. Not to give us 'the best product'; but to see how low they can go before the outrage will bleed into their sales numbers (remember the '4080 12GB?'). And then we have gullible idiots saying life is hard for them. With all due respect... what the fuck? You're seeing a monopolist act like one and then find the excuses for them. With customers and thought processes like that, we're all doomed indeed. You just in a nutshell answered why Nvidia can get away doing as they have done for decades.
btw, that 3070ti is already dead at anything higher than 1080p, and 12gb will soon go the same way.
If 5070 has 12gb, I'm not touching it. If these leaks are true, it smells of another mid-cycle refresh, similar to 20/40 super series. wasn't that mentioned in the context of utilizing die space to its fullest ? from what I understood, this method was just a way of coping with diminishing returns of node shrinks.
