Thanks to a big step up in overall VRAM clock speed, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 will have a total memory bandwidth that's actually higher than the RTX 4090, despite having a much narrower memory bus. That's according to a new leak that suggests the addition of GDDR7 to the RTX 5080 will massively improve its memory throughput. As what's expected to be Nvidia's second best graphics card option when its new range of gaming GPUs launches next year, the RTX 5080 stands a good chance of outperforming the RTX 4090 anyway. This would fit with the long-standing trend of new Nvidia GPUs where the current generation x080 card beats the previous generation x090 card, but we wouldn't necessarily have expected the RTX 5080 to outpace the RTX 4090 when it comes to memory bandwidth.
