Renowned leaker Kopite7kimi has revealed surprising details about NVIDIA’s upcoming GeForce RTX 5080 SUPER, suggesting it will retain the same 10,752 CUDA cores as the standard RTX 5080 but pack a massive 24GB of GDDR7 memory – a 50% increase over the non-SUPER model. The leak also indicates the card will feature cutting-edge 32 Gbps memory speeds, pushing bandwidth beyond 1,024 GB/s while requiring over 400W of power.
Key Leaked Specifications
The RTX 5080 SUPER is expected to use NVIDIA’s GB203-450 GPU, matching the core count of the original RTX 5080 but with significant upgrades elsewhere:
- 24GB GDDR7 memory (vs. 16GB on RTX 5080)
- 32 Gbps memory speed (fastest GDDR7 spec yet)
- 1,024 GB/s bandwidth (up from 960 GB/s)
- 400W+ TDP (a 40W+ increase over RTX 5080)
This suggests NVIDIA is positioning the SUPER variant as a memory-intensive workstation and 4K gaming powerhouse, rather than a pure CUDA core upgrade.

Why This Matters
If accurate, this leak reveals NVIDIA’s strategy for the RTX 50 SUPER refresh:
- Focus on memory capacity for AI and high-res gaming
- Prioritize bandwidth over core count increases
- Target professionals needing extra VRAM for rendering/ML
However, the 400W+ power draw raises concerns about cooling and PSU requirements, potentially making it one of the most power-hungry GPUs outside the flagship RTX 5090.

Release Timeline & Competing Rumors
Kopite7kimi didn’t specify a launch date, but previous rumors pointed to a Q4 2024 release. Interestingly, this leak follows speculation about an RTX 5070 SUPER with 18GB VRAM, hinting that NVIDIA may be accelerating its SUPER refresh plans to counter AMD’s RDNA 4 lineup.
