Nvidia reportedly intends to bring a 24GB version of the RTX 5080 to market earlier than previously expected and to discontinue the 16GB variant, according to Tweakers. The Dutch tech outlet published the claim on Friday, 30 October 2026.
The report lands amid signs of disruption across Nvidia's high-end graphics card lineup. Tweakers also reports that a card manufacturer says it can no longer order RTX 5090 chips from Nvidia, while TechGaming has reported a rumor that Nvidia has stopped taking RTX 5090 orders. Separately, mobidevices.com reports that the RTX 5080 and RTX 5090 have disappeared from Nvidia's own store.
Pricing pressure is part of the picture. Notebookcheck.nl reports that finding an RTX 5080 in the United States for under $2,000 is now difficult, a figure that once matched the price of the RTX 5090.
The available material does not explain why Nvidia would make the change, and the company has not confirmed any of the reported plans. The details come from secondary outlets, and the RTX 5090 order claims are described as rumors.
What to watch next is whether Nvidia confirms a 24GB RTX 5080, gives a date for the 16GB model's retirement, or comments on the status of RTX 5090 supply and its own store listings.
