A post on Twitter reveals the physical retail box of partner card maker Gainward’s GeForce RTX 5080, confirms various specs, and puts the RTX 5080 in the most advanced state of readiness of any RTX 5000 series card. It has become clear that there is.
In this post via Over Clock3D, user @wxnod reveals three RTX 5080 retail boxes that may be ready to ship to a retailer’s warehouse. Previous rumors have pointed to a January 21st release date for this card, and perhaps the existence of these retail boxes containing the card suggests that is likely to be somewhat accurate. At the same time, it suggests that a review embargo may be even closer.
Check the amount and type of memory on your Nvidia RTX 5080
The box also reveals the type and amount of memory the RTX 5080 has. As expected based on previous leaks and rumors, this is the same 16GB of GDDR7 memory as the RTX 4080 Super and RTX 4080. The RTX 5090, on the other hand, is expected to be upgraded. From 24GB to 32GB. There are some small upgrades compared to the original RTX, but the rest of the product stack is pretty much the same. 4000 series.
Unfortunately, no other specs were revealed on the box, but it certainly adds weight to the rumors that the RTX 5080 will be launched first, with the RTX 5090 likely to follow.

Power connectors, dimensions, performance, and power consumption are all factors that are still largely unknown, but with recent rumors pegging the RTX 5090 at an eye-popping price of $2,000-$2,500 and $1,200-$1,500, it’s likely that most The information that gamers want to know is the price. For the RTX 5080, that cap is closer to the launch price of the RTX 4090. However, there is little confirmation about these prices, so the hope is that the increase in prices may not be that large.
If they do, AMD and Intel’s plans to increase their meager market share by offering more value-conscious options could succeed. AMD is expected to announce the Radeon RX 9070 XT with performance similar to the RTX 4080, but at a much lower price. Meanwhile, Intel is already making waves with its $250 Arc B580 graphics card, and a cheaper Arc B570 is expected to be announced at CES. Too.
