Eagle-eyed Nvidia fans have noticed that the RTX 5080 is no longer listed on the official Nvidia Marketplace. Founders Edition models have long been out of stock, leaving customers to settle for a (more expensive) third-party model. However, even those have now disappeared, so the most powerful GPU you can currently buy via the Nvidia store is the 16GB RTX 5070 Ti.

The flagship RTX 5090 disappeared from the marketplace site a couple of weeks ago, and its current status is a little up in the air. Officially, Nvidia says the RTX 5090 is not discontinued, but reports from board partners suggest an absence of stock. As for the RTX 5080, rumor has it that Nvidia is planning to release an upgraded 24GB variant (up from 16GB) in late 2026 or early 2027.

RTX 5080 24GB expected in December or January

According to prominent Chinese leaker ChannelGate, Nvidia will soon discontinue the China-specific RTX 5090D v2 (which comes with 24GB of GDDR7 VRAM, rather than the full 32GB), and along with it, the 16GB RTX 5080. They suggest a 24GB version of the RTX 5080 serves as a replacement for both cards in the region. ChannelGate says it’s expected “around January,” but could arrive as early as December. New GPUs typically launch at the start of the new year, with CES 2027 taking place in Las Vegas between January 6 and January 9.

There’s no word on whether the same launch is happening outside of China, but the fact that the official Nvidia Marketplace in the United States has completely delisted both the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 feels like a telling sign. That being said, we noticed they’re still listed on the UK marketplace, albeit with little to no stock, as users are prompted to check the availability of each and every graphics card.
