(Image credit: Future) Enthusiasts holding out for theNvidia GeForce RTX 5090might want to curb their expectations, as new rumors point towards the RTX 5080 releasing first. That’s despite reports claiming that the RTX 4090 successor would be the only graphics card to release in 2024 just yesterday, which perhaps suggests that the GPU giant’s plans are up in the air. It’s not ture. RTX 5080 should be released first.May 7, 2024 It’s not ture. RTX 5080 should be released first.May 7, 2024 Kopite7Kimi has proven to be a reliable source in the past, but since no rumors are infallible, it’s best to take this leak with a grain of salt. Nvidia also hasn’t touched on any of its next-gen GeForce RTX plans as of yet, so current plans are absolutely subject to change. That said, it does at least provide a hint that the RTX 5080 will be an important card next generation, which might be an attempt to repair the reputation of 80-series cards following backlash over the original RTX 4080’s price and specs. Should you wait for the RTX 5090? (Image credit: Nvidia) Simply put, the RTX 5080 arriving potentially first is arguably a good thing for regular PC players, as it’ll mean cutting-edge performance is available first. Whether the 80-series card will pop up with an approachable price tag remains to be seen, and its MSRP could be the deciding factor on if you should wait for the RTX 5090 or not. Don’t fancy waiting at all? There’s a strong case to be made for sticking with current-gen cards instead, as options like theNvidia GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Superpack have plentiful performance for those of you looking for something 4K capable. You’ll also find a bunch of alternatives below that’ll match a range of budgets and builds.
