Like someone mentioned, early 2025 seems the most realistic. Honestly tho, I would suggest being careful about selling your current setup too early. I learned that the hard way when the 30-series dropped... I sold my old card thinking I could just walk into a store and grab a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 10GB, but I ended up stuck with integrated graphics for three months because of stock issues. You might want to consider the value gap too. Nvidia has been pushing prices so high lately that the jump might not be worth it compared to something like an AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX 24GB if you dont care about ray tracing as much. Make sure to watch for those early benchmarks because if the 5080 is only a small bump over a ZOTAC Gaming GeForce RTX 4080 Super Trinity Black Edition, paying that early adopter tax is gonna hurt. Just stay patient and dont let the fomo get to you.

Nice, didn't know that

Building on the earlier suggestion about that early 2025 window, it really makes sense once you dive into the Blackwell architecture specs. In my experience, the jump to GDDR7 is what people should really be eyeing for that performance boost, especially since memory bandwidth usually bottlenecks these high-end cards at 4K. Just a couple quick tips for when the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 16GB GDDR7 finally drops:

• Check your PSU headroom now, you will likely want a EVGA SuperNOVA 1000 G6 1000W to handle the transient power spikes.
• Dont sell your current card until you actually see the independent benchmarks for the new bus interface. Honestly, if you cant wait, grabbing an MSI Gaming GeForce RTX 4080 Super 16GB is still a solid move tho.

Like someone mentioned, early 2025 is looking like the real target, but honestly, have you even checked if your current rig can handle the power draw? I honestly think people jump the gun too much on these releases without looking at their case space first.

• How big is your case right now?
• Are you running 1440p or 4K? Not sure but I recall hearing the physical size on these new cards might be massive. I am currently pretty satisfied with my setup, so I'm not in a rush, but compatibility is definitely gonna be the biggest hurdle for a lot of people. Just make sure you measure your clearances before getting too hyped up for launch day.

Likely in September 2024.

The RTX 5080 will be released in early 2025.

TIL! Thanks for sharing

In Q3 or Q4 of 2024.

RTX 5080 will released in early 2025, along with RTX 5090.
