A fresh piece of speculation on Nvidia’s next-gen Blackwell GPUs has got some folks concerned about how the RTX 5080 might turn out – bringing back bad memories of the fumbled RTX 4080 launch (with that disappointing spec, and the whole faux pas with the canceled 12GB version).
Kopite7kimi, a regular leaker on the topic of graphics cards on X (formerly Twitter), stoked this chatter with the revelation that Blackwell’s GB203 chip (in the RTX 5080) will be paired with a 256-bit memory bus, and further down the range, GB205 will run with a 192-bit bus.
