Recent specifications for the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 SUPER have surfaced, courtesy of leaker Kopite7kimi. Notably, the GPU will feature an impressive 24 GB of VRAM and utilize the fully enabled GB203 chip.
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 SUPER Specifications
Previously, it was reported that NVIDIA is developing a SUPER series for the RTX 50 lineup, set to include upgraded specifications, particularly in memory. According to the leak, the RTX 5080 SUPER will maintain the full GB203 Core configuration from the RTX 5080, with 10752 cores. However, it will transition from the GB203-400 SKU to the GB203-450, paired with a PG147-SKU35 PCB.
The GPU’s total board power (TBP) is projected to be over 400W. This represents a 40W increase compared to the standard RTX 5080, which is justifiable if NVIDIA opts for enhanced clock speeds along with increased memory specifications.
In terms of memory, the RTX 5080 SUPER is set to include 24 GB of GDDR7 VRAM over a 256-bit interface, with speeds clocked at 32 Gbps—up from 30 Gbps in the non-SUPER version. This change results in a bandwidth of 1 TB/s, offering a 6.6% increase in memory bandwidth. Despite the unchanged core configuration, gamers can anticipate a performance uplift in the range of 5%, akin to the RTX 4080 SUPER. The additional VRAM will likely appeal to users waiting to upgrade from the 16 GB RTX 5080.
The following outlines the key differences between the RTX 5080 SUPER and the standard RTX 5080:
- Core Count: Same cores with different GB203 SKU (450 vs. 400)
- Clock Speeds: Potentially higher on the SUPER model
- VRAM Capacity: 24 GB vs. 16 GB (+50%)
- Memory Bus: Maintained at 256-bit
- Memory Speed: 32 Gbps vs. 30 Gbps
- Bandwidth: 1024 GB/s vs. 960 GB/s
- TBP: Over 400W vs. 360W
