NVIDIA is said to be preparing to release the RTX 5080 version with upgraded memory capacity to 24GB GDDR7, expected around December or early next year close to CES. The current 16GB version uses eight 2GB memory chip modules, while the 24GB version will take advantage of the new 3GB density GDDR7 modules.
The second reason that could lead to the cessation of sales is the general shortage of memory chips. This is not yet the peak according to forecasts (2027), but it is clear that you can see that all products related to memory chips, RAM or SSDs have increased in price, from half to half to 2 or 3 times.
Before being removed, the actual price of the RTX 5080 at third-party retailers jumped to over 2,000 USD (double the original MSRP of 999 USD), even surpassing the launch price of the RTX 5090. When the official warehouses of NVIDIA and AIB partners were all depleted, continuing to list the suggested original price was no longer feasible.
