Avast, matey! Rumor be swirling 'bout the RTX 5080 settin' sail for a grand VRAM treasure, a bounty that gamers be a-chasin' like scallywags after a sippin' of grog! Arrr, let’s hope Nvidia don’t leave us high and dry on the open sea of pixels!

Ahoy, mateys! Gather 'round as I regale ye with tales of the Nvidia RTX 5080, a beastly contraption rumored to sport a meager 16GB o' VRAM, not worth a pirate's doubloon when compared to its predecessor, the RTX 4080. But lo! Fresh whispers from the Chiphell forum's Polymorph suggest a grander version, a 24GB treasure that could make this card a sight for sore eyes of every gaming scallywag!

Ye see, the seafaring gamers be restless, casting their doubts on the 16GB model's worth. Aye, if this 24GB version sails into port, it could be the treasure every buccaneer dreams of, makin' their rig future-proofed and ready to plunder the latest games!

But fear not, for it appears Nvidia be holdin' their cards close to their chest, waitin' for the GDDR7 memory modules to be ripe for the takin'. Rumor has it that the 5080 may set sail with 16GB first, only to be followed by the more robust 24GB variant. But what price might it fetch, ye ask? Aye, that be a mystery as deep as the ocean itself!

So, keep yer spyglass handy, for we shall await the grand unveiling at CES 2025, where Nvidia's Blackwell cards may finally show their true colors. Until then, keep yer powder dry, and may yer frames per second be ever high!
