## Key points

- Leakers say Nvidia dropped plans for a 24 GB RTX 5080.
- Nvidia says RTX 5090 production and shipments will continue.
- The 16 GB RTX 5080 is expected to remain in production.

## Summary

A rumour reported by leakers says Nvidia has dropped plans for a 24 GB RTX 5080, though the claim has not been confirmed. If true, this may spare buyers an even more expensive replacement for the existing 16 GB RTX 5080 and RTX 5090.

Nvidia GeForce senior vice-president Jeff Fisher has said RTX 5090 production has not been discontinued and that shipments will continue. A separate report cited the high cost of 3 GB GDDR7 chips and said Nvidia had cancelled a planned January 2027 launch in China, while the 16 GB RTX 5080 is expected to remain in production. The article says the RTX 5080 already costs well over $2,000, leaving few affordable high-end options.
