NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 Retail Packaging Leaked Online, Identical to RTX 40 Series Design

The recent leak of NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 5080 “Blackwell”consumer GPU packaging has created a buzz among tech enthusiasts, offering an early peek at what might come with this upcoming graphics card lineup.

Leak Reveals GALAX’s GeForce RTX 5080 Box Design

As the launch date approaches, it’s common for details about upcoming GPUs to trickle out, including performance metrics and specific AIB (Add-In Board) variants. In the latest development, the box design for GALAX’s GeForce RTX 5080 has surfaced online. Although the image lacks high resolution, it has sparked interest in the community (via Ruby_Rapids). Notably, Videocardz has skillfully examined the image, uncovering intriguing details from the packaging’s backside.

GALAX has confirmed that these images accurately depict their new packaging, suggesting that the information gleaned will align closely with the final product at launch. Interestingly, while the front of the packaging features a new GPU name, it does not appear to differ significantly from previous models. The rear of the box is also strikingly similar to its predecessor, which raises questions about potential new technologies.

The anticipation surrounding this release has led many to hope for mentions of cutting-edge technologies, such as neural rendering and advanced DLSS, as previously hinted by Inno3D. However, comparisons with earlier packaging indicate that modifications are minimal, suggesting either a continuity in technology across generations or that GALAX has chosen not to highlight potential innovations just yet. Ideally, we remain optimistic that the latter is the case.

In the face of these leaks, it is crucial to refrain from hasty conclusions. However, with NVIDIA’s expected announcements regarding the “Blackwell”consumer GPU lineup slated for January 6, staying tuned for significant revelations is advisable.
