Recently, NVIDIA’s anticipated GeForce RTX 5080 and RTX 5070 Ti GPUs, both featuring 16 GB of memory, have surfaced in listings from PC manufacturer iBuyPower.
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 & RTX 5070 Ti: iBuyPower’s New Pre-Built Gaming PCs
As we approach the official launch of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50 “Blackwell”gaming GPUs, excitement is building in the gaming community, fueled by various retail and online listings of these powerful graphics cards. Although they are set to be unveiled later this January, iBuyPower is already showcasing at least four pre-built gaming PC models equipped with NVIDIA’s latest GPUs: the RTX 5080 and the RTX 5070 Ti. Notably, it is intriguing that the more powerful 5070 Ti takes precedence over the standard RTX 5070 in these listings.
The pre-built systems come with options powered by both Intel and AMD processors, supporting advanced chipsets such as Arrow Lake “Core Ultra 200S”from Intel and the Zen 5 “Ryzen 9000″series from AMD. Furthermore, these gaming rigs are built with robust specifications, including up to 800W ‘Gold’ power supply units and 32 GB of DDR5-5200 memory paired with AIO liquid cooling systems to ensure optimal performance and thermal management.
Interestingly, some models are tagged as “SUPER,”which could likely be an oversight, as past listings included “SUPER”variants of previous generations like the RTX 4080 and 4070 Ti. It remains unlikely that the RTX 50 series will feature any “SUPER”variants upon launch. Pricing details for the pre-builts are still under wraps.
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080: Technical Overview
The upcoming NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 will utilize the PG144/147-SKU45 PCB design and incorporate the GB203-400-A1 GPU die. This graphics card will fully deploy the GB203 GPU die, featuring 84 streaming multiprocessors (SMs) and a total of 10,752 CUDA cores. While this represents a notable decline of 51% in cores compared to the flagship RTX 5090, it’s essential to remember that the performance disparities will be significant, given that previous models like the RTX 4090 and RTX 4080 only showcased a 40% difference.
This GPU will offer a streamlined memory configuration, featuring 16 GB of VRAM on a 256-bit bus interface, utilizing advanced GDDR7 modules. Notably, this memory is engineered for rapid data transfer, achieving speeds of up to 32 Gbps, which culminates in an impressive total bandwidth of 1 TB/s. The expected Total Board Power (TBP) for the RTX 5080 is set at 400W, reflecting an increase of 25%. However, practical power consumption may vary based on real-world usage scenarios.
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti: Key Specifications
The GeForce RTX 5070 Ti will harness the performance of the GB203-300-A1 GPU core, built on the PG147-SKU60 PCB format. This graphics card will come equipped with 8,960 CUDA cores, slightly fewer compared to the RTX 5080, but it will match the memory capacity of 16 GB VRAM operating on a 256-bit bus interface. Although this model will incorporate GDDR7 memory at slightly slower speeds of 28 Gbps, it still boasts an appreciable nearly 1 TB/s bandwidth (specifically 896 GB/s). The anticipated TBP for the RTX 5070 Ti ranges between 300-350W, ensuring efficient performance delivery.
