You’ll have to go back a long way, especially if you’re a reader of H&Co. When the first rumors began to appear in conjunction with the development of the GDDR7the GeForce RTX 50 range was anticipated as follows: the cards at the top of the catalog powered by the GB202, GB203 and GB205 GPUs would be entitled to GDDR7, the others to GDDR6 or GDDR6X. Obviously, back then in March, we didn’t know what we know now. Samsung would be the only supplier of this VRAM for desktop cards, there would be GDDR7 at 28 Gbps which was not the maximum developed, i.e. 32 Gbps, and with CES approaching, new information is arriving. It’s difficult to sort because everyone has their own, however, sites and leakers who often just bring the little thing that seems plausible, not ridiculous. It was BenchLife that got the ball rolling, inspiring the title of this post.
According to the colleague, at the heart of the business by its geographical position, affirmed that the RTX 5080 would have GDDR7 at 30 Gbps, where all the others would slide to 28 Gbps. In itself, NVIDIA would do with the RTX 5080 what it did with the RTX 4080 SUPER, namely use the fastest memory only on this reference. But where BenchLife’s sentence is nice is that it also affirms that the RTX 5060 would also have GDDR7, while we could expect, in memory of the rumors from March, another type of VRAM for it, since it would not be powered by a GB205, but not a less posh GPU.
We recognize that now we can’t wait for the CES to be there in order to have certainty in this magma of information. It’s a safe bet that not everything is wrong, but we will know how to sort it out when the time comes!
