Taiwanese media outlet BenchLife.info, which is close to the graphics card supply chain, said today that as of the end of October 2026, NVIDIA had still not provided its downstream AIC partners with the design documentation kit for a 24GB VRAM version of the GeForce RTX 5080 graphics card, later than previously expected.

Taking into account the current PCB material preparation situation and shortages of other components, the outlet believes that the GeForce RTX 5080 24GB will be very difficult to officially launch in January 2027.

Of course, NVIDIA may choose to announce this model at CES 2027 but officially release it at a later time.
