Arrr, ye scallywags ready to toss the RTX 5080 overboard? Hold yer horses! Whispers on the high seas be sayin’ that Nvidia's plannin’ a surprise, like a treasure map leadin’ to new VRAM booty! Keep yer spyglass handy, matey!
Ahoy, mateys! Gather 'round as I spin ye a yarn 'bout Nvidia’s latest treasure, the RTX 5080 graphics card! Aye, word from the high seas of speculation be tellin’ that this beastie be sportin' 16GB of GDDR7 VRAM, runnin’ faster than a ship in full sail at 32Gbps! That be a mightier speed than the pitiful 28Gbps we heard whispered before.Now, with a 256-bit memory bus, this swashbuckler be breakin' the 1TB/s barrier! Blimey! The RTX 4080 could only muster 736GB/s. But hold yer horses! The RTX 5090 is rumored to be even grander, flauntin’ a 512-bit bus and a treasure trove of 32GB VRAM! The seas be jam-packed with rumors, aye!
But why, ye ask, would Nvidia choose such a modest 16GB? Methinks they be tryin’ to soothe the grumblin’ gamers who feel cheated! Yet, a 24GB version might be lurkin’ in the shadows, ready to pounce! The specter of lower CUDA Cores hangs heavy, suggestin’ a nerfed xx80 series. Will it be a fairer price or will we find ourselves walkin’ the plank? Only time will tell as we await the unveiling at CES 2025! Yarrr!
