Nvidia quietly removed the GeForce RTX 5080 from its online store in the United States, following the earlier disappearance of the RTX 5090. The card no longer appears in the catalog or in the graphics card filters, while the RTX 5070 Ti and RTX 5070 remain visible although marked as sold out, according to the check reported by the source on October 31, 2026.
The source itself warns that this absence does not necessarily mean Nvidia has discontinued the card, because the company has not confirmed the status of either model. At the same time, it fuels speculation about a possible replacement: an RTX 5080 with 24 GB of memory instead of the 16 GB in the current model, although Nvidia has announced no plans in that regard.
The context is a strained market: a survey of US stores cited by the source put the cheapest offers from $1,979.99, almost at the launch price of the RTX 5090, which was $1,999, versus the $999 the RTX 5080 debuted at. Scarcity and demand are cited as the main causes of that increase.
