It's going to be interesting to see how the Founder Edition cards look given the alleged split PCBs and those possible designs. We'll see how third party cards fare as well.

Also, coming from that article, videocardz brings a Chiphell post stating that the 5080 will get a new model in the future with 24GB of VRAM thanks to GDDR7 having 3GB memory chips. Could that be the main selling point of the 5080 Super?

Not really sure what's going on with future super cards but the 5080 only having 16GB of vram seems to low for a card that will likely come in at $1200+

I expect between between $1200 and $1400 for the 5080, but we'll see.

I agree that the amount of VRAM is surprisingly low. I read on another discussion that this could be an intentional move from Nvidia because 24GB seem to be the sweet spot for AI training right now, and by limiting the 5080 to just 16GB, they could avoid getting the card trapped in the AI craze that's going on right now.

But I don't know how legit that may be.
