- A leak detailed the claimed specifications of NVIDIA RTX 5080
- Some players could see this GPU refreshed as disappointing – it does not add any additional core in the mixture, especially
- However, there are robust upgrades elsewhere with video memory and also clock speeds
Another rumor on the Nvidia RTX 5080 Super has been broadcast and we have a look at what is supposed to be the complete specifications of this GPU.
As Videocardz underlined it, the Kopite7kimi flight published the claimed specifications of the rumor graphics card on X, and this may mean that Nvidia has just provided these details to its graphics card manufacturing partners (and they disclosed from there). Or, this could mean nothing, because as always, rumors, like demons, need considerable salting.

The key parts of the specifications are that the RTX 5080 Super will supposedly use the same GPU as the RTX 5080, which is the GB203 chip. As the RTX 5080 has already maximized the nuclei of this chip, the number of nucleus will be the same with the super version of this graphics card – there is no room to maneuver to increase it.
The big upgrade comes from the 16 GB jump to 24 GB of video ram (VRAM), as well as this uprising of 50%, the leak thinks that Nvidia will use faster memory modules here (32 GBPS rather than 30 GBPS).
We are also told that the TDP of the RTX 5080 Super will remain at 400W, or it could use even more power than that.
Analysis: crack the specifications and without forgetting the clocks
Looking at these specifications, you might think: how will the RTX 5080 Super be a tempting upgrade on the GPU vanilla version? It has the same number of Cuda core and a slightly faster video memory, but only about 7% of the TRAM bandwidth more than the RTX 5080. So what gives?
Well, don’t forget that it added to this Voum boost, the RTX 5080 Super should have considerably faster clock speeds. Putting these clocks faster, which is why this incoming GPU goes to Chug more than 400W (maybe a little more) compared to 360W for the Plain RTX 5080.
So, if you fear that the RTX 5080 Super represents a disappointing perspective in terms of upgrading on the RTX 5080, do not be. (Although you can rather have concerns about the diet of your PC). All this is in accordance with previous speculation according to which we will see something like an increase in performance of 10% with the RTX 5080 Super against the basic version of the GPU, or perhaps even slightly more (up to 15%, even).
In addition, this much more important allocation of 24 GB of VRAM will make a difference in certain scenarios where the 4K games coupled with very high graphic parameters become more demanding with certain games. (A situation that will only get worse over time, if you think about the test of the future, which should always be consideration).
In addition to this is the fact that Nvidia falls into disgrace in the world of consumers’ GPUs, AMD DNA 4 graphics cards having a very positive impact on the chances of Team Red – and sales. The last revelation RX 9060 XT also dropped a treat, so I don’t think Nvidia could risk harming its position with PC players, frankly, pushing Subpp Super refresh.
Speaking of refreshments – by focusing on the plural – previous rumors have also theorized a super graphics RTX 5070 card with 18 GB of VRAM is boiling, but it is notably absent from the Kopite7kimi post here. This does not mean that it does not happen, but it could be read as a sign that the RTX 5080 Super will arrive first.
Again, the previous spinning mill of the rumor of the mill indicates a very wide outing period in 2025 for the RTX 5080 Super, but if the specifications are really decided at this stage – and it is a huge if – This suggests that Nvidia intends to deploy this GPU earlier, rather than late this year.
