NVIDIA reportedly cancels RTX 5080 24GB over GDDR7 supply and cost

Reports say NVIDIA has cancelled the GeForce RTX 5080 24GB, which was expected to launch in January 2027. According to sources in China, NVIDIA told board partners the model is no longer planned; some reports say the cancellation applies only to the China launch, and NVIDIA has not officially confirmed.
The reason is memory: the 24GB card required 3GB GDDR7 chips, which NVIDIA reportedly could not secure in sufficient quantity at a competitive price. The 16GB RTX 5080 (Blackwell, launched January 30, 2025 at $999 MSRP for the Founders Edition) remains the model on sale.
