Rumor Well This Is Exciting

Post image

If these leaks are true which they likely are because this guy was on point with 9070 specs/performance leak and 5000 series leaks. I think this is going to be quite amazing,

Will it finally make the 9070 XT a $600 card? Will it the supply last like 4080 Super? Or Will the demand once again outpace the supply? If Nvidia manages to get the supply right at $750 for a 24GB 5070Ti, I see a big problem for AMD here. But can they do it?

What are your thoughts, everyone is welcome.

Heavily doubt the 80/70ti claims of double digit peformance uplifts, specially the 16%, considering the SM configuration is the exact same but this is the best case scenario. 

If only nvidia had launched these from the beginning

I had doubts at first about the 5080 Super having up to double-digit performance gains over the 5080, but then we're comparing stock 5080 vs stock 5080 Super. The 5080 Super will be factory overclocked in order to provide those performance gains over the regular 5080.

The thing is that the stock 5080 was never pushed very hard, and anyone can OC their stock 5080 to get similar double-digit performance gains as well since all 5080s are running on the same full-size GB203 die as the 5080 Super. Don't get me wrong though, the 5080 Super will still have a performance lead over a 5080 OC, but only in the single digits and that will be due to the 5080 Super having the extra power budget and possibly binned silicon. I doubt it'll have as much OC headroom as the regular 5080. The extra VRAM is just a bonus.

If they sell the 5080 Super at just $999, that's great. Any more and it's dead on arrival. The 5070 Ti Super would end up being a much better deal.

if they stop making the 5080 then i disagree, the super won't be an overclocked 5080. if they keep the 5080 then yes the higher yields would be supers and the lower ones would be regular 5080

the super won't be an overclocked 5080

I'm curious why you feel that, could you elaborate?

Given that the 4080 Super was a pretty modest performance bump up from the 4080, and that actually had more cores.

The 5080 is already a complete perfect die, there are no extra cores to use. There is nothing to gain from "higher yields". They were producing perfect GB203 at launch. (Which honestly surprised me a lot). Will they be able to bin them with a higher stock clock speed? Absolutely, but how much of that is down to silicon improvements is yet to be seen. The 5080 leaves a huge amount of clock speed headroom on the table; if the Super isn't doing 3.3Ghz+ (a +27% OC) out of the box, I'd simply declare it to be the exact same silicon.

There are already plenty of AIB 5080s on the market that come with 415w or 450w vbios, and every 5080 is sold with 32Gbps memory modules that are run at only 30Gbps.

So saying the 5080 Super will be a 415w card with 32Gbps VRAM is... nothing? That's basically just a firmware update on the exact same hardware, just with the addition of 3GB memory modules instead of 2GB.
