Report: RTX 5080 Super/Ti with 24 GB VRAM to arrive end of this year, RTX 5090D replacement being downgraded

Back when Nvidia announced the new RTX 50 series Blackwell GPUs in January, there were only four cards in the lineup, namely the RTX 5090, RTX 5080, RTX 5070 Ti, and the RTX 5070. The portfolio was expanded in the following months with the RTX 5060 Ti and now the upcoming RTX 5060. As per a new leak, the company will add another GPU to the lineup by the end of this year, said to be the RTX 5080 Super/Ti.

The latest leak comes from Baidu forums, according to Wccftech, and it claims that the RTX 5080 Super or RTX 5080 Ti will launch at the end of the year. This GPU will come with 24 GB VRAM, which is a decent upgrade over the RTX 5080’s 16 GB. However, it is unclear if this GPU will be a renamed RTX 5090D replacement as the original RTX 5090D has been banned in China.

Speaking of which, the rumored RTX 5090D replacement is expected to be downgraded to 14,080 CUDA cores compared to the RTX 5090’s 21,760. It is said to use a 384-bit memory bus instead of the 512-bit on the regular RTX 5090. As mentioned earlier, the VRAM will drop to 24 GB, compared to the 5090’s 32 GB. 

This downgrade comes after the new regulations resulted in the RTX 5090D being banned in China in its current spec. While nothing was made official, reports stated that the sale for the RTX 5090D was halted in the country. The RTX 5090D was on par with the RTX 5090 in terms of hardware with the key differentiator being a hardware-enforced AI inference performance limit for the RTX 5090D.
