The allegedly discontinued RTX 5080 has quietly disappeared from Nvidia's online store

Key Points:

• Nvidia has quietly removed the GeForce RTX 5080 from its online store, following the earlier disappearance of the flagship RTX 5090, fueling speculation about potential discontinuation.
• Despite removal from the store, Nvidia has not confirmed the discontinuation of either the RTX 5080 or RTX 5090, and some models like the RTX 5070 Ti and RTX 5070 remain listed but out of stock.
• Rumors suggest Nvidia may be preparing a new RTX 5080 variant with 24 GB of memory to replace the current 16 GB model and possibly phase out the RTX 5090, though no official announcements have been made.
• Prices for the RTX 5080 have nearly doubled, reaching around $2,000 at US retailers, close to the RTX 5090’s original launch price, driven by limited supply, strong demand, and memory shortages.
• Retailers are reportedly running low on RTX 5080 stock, which could keep prices elevated, while Nvidia and its board partners have not provided detailed information about GPU supply or future plans.
