Rumors suggest that the upcoming Nvidia RTX 5080 graphics card may not be as powerful as initially expected. According to a reputable leaker, the GB203 GPU, which is likely to power the RTX 5080, will have a smaller configuration than previously believed, with a seven-by-six GPC setup instead of the six-by-eight setup that was rumored earlier. This could result in a significant decrease in CUDA cores and streaming multiprocessors (SMs), potentially putting the RTX 5080 just four SMs ahead of the RTX 4080 Super and falling short of expectations. However, it’s important to note that these are just rumors at this point, and Nvidia has not yet officially announced the specifications or release date of the RTX 50-series graphics cards.
