NVIDIA to Debut GeForce RTX 50-series SUPER GPUs by Christmas

[dgianstefani]

The 5080 isn't a bad card yes it's terrible value but what really angered me is with the super they could have easily given more cores and it cost them next to nothing instead they are slapping more memory on them. There is a gulf of performance between 90 & 80 but yes let's add memory and call it a day.

The RTX 5080 maxes out the GB203 silicon, enabling all 84 streaming multiprocessors (SM) present on the silicon, which work out to 10,752 CUDA cores, 336 Tensor cores, 84 RT cores, 336 TMUs, and all 112 ROPs present on the GB203 silicon.

Could you explain how they could "easily" give it more cores, considering the base 5080 maxes out GB203?

.. they could have easily given more cores to RTX 5080 and it cost them next to nothing ..

If you consider replacing GB203 with GB202 and reworking the circuit board cost like next to nothing,then pay for it so we other could buy it.

And yes, there is something you would call 5080 Super. But ...
nVidia calls it 5090 D or 5090 DD and sells it for a "little bit more" bucks than 5080.

Can't Nvidia easily make a 5080 Ti out of 75% enabled GB202 18432 Cuda 384 bit. Enough up selling. That's the fourth 10K shader 80 class in a row.

Why on earth would they want to cut GB202 further when they can sell (already cut down) 5090/5090D/5090DDs as fast as they make them, or the $10k RTX 6000s?

I have serious doubts we're ever going to see xx80 Ti again, unless competition returns to the high end. The existing 5080 is faster than anything from the competition, and the 4090/5090 are in a class of their own.

Fingers crossed though, my 3080 Ti is still going strong well into 2025.

But that was a response to the 69/6950XT.

Ada was enough of a jump the the 4080/S was enough to compete vs the 7900XTX, and RDNA4 is strictly a 5070 Ti competitor, so why pay the expense of creating another segment in between 5080/5090?

Exciting times! I wonder how reviewers will be told to spin this upgrade as a worthwhile one...

the more you buy, the more you save..

5080 doesn't even max out GB203, So instead of getting a 5080 TI you got a 5090D. No node is 100% yield that's where binning comes in. Why would they give us anything decent for a reasonable price when fanboys can't take there tongue outta there ass to see they are getting shafted.

Definitely buying the 5070 Ti super if it comes out at $750.

RTX 5080 uses a fully enabled GB203, as has already been pointed out to you. It's 5070 Ti that is cut down.

 

[Quicks]

Blackwell continues to underwhelm.

Nvidia has been underwhelming the past 5 years.

No need to innovate when your best competitor AMD is fast asleep.

 

[Flawless]

People should realize the VRAM scarcity is artificial and only serves the purpose of creating segmentation for SUPER models

do you edit videos? or upload in lightroom 3500 files, 200mb each raw files? it's never enough!

 

[Asni]

I wish they upgrade the L2 cache on the RTX 5070ti super, 64MB as intended on the GB203 chip.

 

[gunishd]

But would there be a more powerful 5090 with improved connections and power consumption? Or is that asking the impossible?

 

[nickbaldwin86]

what no 5090 Super? shame

 

[igormp]

5070Ti 24Gb seems like pointless for me, 16Gb should be enough for this GPU, only for AI stuff maybe.

That's exactly why I'm eyeing it. It could handle memory overclocks with ease and achieve a bandwidth higher than my current 3090s with the same VRAM amount, with support for the new data types from ada&blackwell that I'm missing with Ampere.

 

[gunishd]

I always wondered why super models were so slim, they clearly had a low calorie diet, I guess they cannot handle too much vram and chips.

Be interesting to see a 5090 Super at some point

There would be no logical reason to release one. The 5090 already far outperforms any other GPU, 32GB is incredibly overkill for gaming, and if you want more than 32GB for AI, Nvidia has their professional RTX cards for you.

Nvidia RTX 5080 SUPER expensive! Incoming

No, no, it's already SUPER EXPENSIVE!

 

[PixelTech]

Hmm, higher capacity VRAM chips... means there can be more chips in the same amount of space, higher bandwidth? because more GB per chip?, and could run hotter?
Are there games that benefit greatly to having more VRAM available? Is there a Crisis 3-esk game that has been developed for future hardware with more VRAM that can take advantage of the higher amount?

 

[EarthDog]

They need a reason to up-sell people on the 5090s.

The gap is yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge. Either 37% (1440p) or 52% (4K) according to TPU's own review (5080 FE). You can slice both of those in half and have plenty of reasons to upgrade to a 5090, especially at 4K where the 5090 really pulls ahead.

It's particularly attractive for ultrawide high refresh, too. E.g 3440x1440, or the new 4/5K UW.

That can only have a Ti version and only if AMD is competitive.
The halo part can not have a "super" version, because it is already super-duper.

No, no, it's already SUPER EXPENSIVE!

Lack of competition. Imagine if AMD was about to release a 400 mm^2 3nm large Navi to come close or beat it for 899$ or 999$?

 

[k0vasz]

as a 3060ti owner, there was literally no compelling card from the base 50 series for me: 5060(ti) was just not giving any meaningful performance upgrade, 5070 had not enough RAM, and 5070ti was way too expensive. now, the 5070S would be a perfect fit for me, the only question now is the actual price

Yeah, my new 3440x1440 pushes past the 12GB of my 4070 Super in some demanding games/settings. Will definitely be looking at these Super cards when it's time to upgrade next year with my tax refund.
