NVIDIA Prepares GeForce RTX 5080 SUPER and 5070 SUPER: More Memory and GDDR7Technology
NVIDIA is set to launch the GeForce RTX 5080 SUPER and 5070 SUPER GPUs, increasing memory to 24 GB and 18 GB VRAM respectively, using new GDDR7 technology. Despite not offering drastic performance upgrades, they target memory-intensive applications. The GPUs will debut at CES 2025, enhancing NVIDIA’s high-end offerings.
Key points
- NVIDIA is expanding its RTX 50 series with RTX 5080 SUPER (24 GB VRAM) and RTX 5070 SUPER (18 GB VRAM).
- Introduces GDDR7 memory for improved bandwidth, resulting in a 50% memory increase over standard models.
- Performance differences from standard versions are expected to be minimal, but greater memory capacity suits demanding tasks like AI and 3D rendering.
- Both models to be equipped with CUDA cores; 5080 SUPER has 10,752 cores, while 5070 SUPER has up to 6,400.
- Scheduled for launch at CES 2025 with market availability in Q1 2025, reinforcing NVIDIA's high-end GPU market position.
Why it matters
- The advancement to GDDR7 technology aligns with a broader trend of increasing memory bandwidth in GPUs, crucial for AI and high-resolution gaming.
- NVIDIA's move reflects the growing demand for memory capacity in computational tasks amid rising AI applications and 3D rendering requirements.
- Similar industry shifts are seen as companies aim to stay competitive in high-performance hardware as of 2025.
The introduction of RTX 5080 SUPER and 5070 SUPER GPUs reflects NVIDIA's strategy to meet evolving market demands for higher memory capacities in an increasingly performance-centric landscape, set to launch in early 2025.
