Rumor: Nvidia killing 5090 for 24GB 5080; users say it may help open models
PusheenHater · reddit · 2026-10-14
Reddit discussion claims Nvidia is dropping the RTX 5090 in favor of a 24GB-VRAM 5080. The poster calls it greed to reserve VRAM for data centers, but argues that capping consumer VRAM at 24GB will push open-model developers to target lower memory, making open models more accessible to the majority with 16GB cards.
