Recently, Nvidia's upcoming RTX5080 graphics card was accidentally exposed on the Internet, and the related pictures have attracted widespread attention. These images showcase the retail packaging of the MSI Gaming Trio RTX5080 graphics card, and although it was quickly removed, its content provides players and tech enthusiasts with some key details about this new graphics card.
According to sources, the images initially appeared on the ChipHell forum and were quickly deleted. Although leaks in this forum occur from time to time and a lot of information needs to be treated with caution, judging from the pictures, these contents seem to be quite credible. It is worth noting that these photos indicate that the RTX5080 is likely to be Nvidia's first Blackwell architecture graphics card to be released, and is expected to be officially released on January 21, 2025.
From these leaked packaging images, we know that the RTX5080 will be equipped with 16GB of GDDR7 video memory and still uses a 256-bit memory bus, which means it will be very strong in 4K gaming performance. In addition, the RTX5080 may become the first consumer-grade graphics card to support the PCIe5.0 interface standard, equipped with Nvidia's GB203-400Blackwell GPU, which is expected to have 10,752 CUDA cores.
If the Blackwell architecture maintains a similar SM structure to the previous generation Lovelace, the number of cores of the RTX5080 could reach 84, which also means it will have a stronger performance in ray tracing and AI operations. Although these specifications are not officially listed on the packaging, the truth will soon surface as CES2025 approaches.
However, despite reports that the RTX5080's performance is expected to be 10% faster than the RTX4090, its power consumption may be comparable to that of the Lovelace flagship graphics card, which has concerns some players. With the upcoming launch of Nvidia, everyone's expectations for this new graphics card are also heating up.
