Nvidia RTX 5080 Super with 415W TDP appears in Seasonic PSU calculator

[midian182]

Crystal ball: It's been assumed for a while now that the RTX 5000 Super series will never see the light of day, likely another victim of the memory crisis ravaging the industry. But one of the unreleased cards, the RTX 5080 Super, has appeared in Seasonic's PSU calculator, leading to speculation that Nvidia will unveil the GPUs at CES 2027.

According to the PSU wattage calculator's listing, the RTX 5080 Super has a TDP of 415W. That aligns with previous rumors about the card, which placed its TDP at a less specific 400+W.

For comparison, the vanilla RTX 5080 has a TDP of 360W, or around 15% less than its Super version.

According to previous reports, the RTX 5080 Super also has 50% more memory than the standard version (24GB vs. 16GB) across the same 256-bit bus running at 32Gbps, 2Gbps more than RTX 5080. It will also use 3 GB GDDR7 modules, all of which pushes total bandwidth up by more than 6% to 1TB/s, compared with 960GB/s. Elsewhere, the number of CUDA cores remains the same – 10,752.

The RTX 5080 Super isn't the first card in the unannounced series to appear in Seasonic's calculator. Both the RTX 5070 Super and RTX 5070 Ti Super were added in September last year. Check out all the reported specs in the table below.

	RTX 5080	RTX 5080 Super	RTX 5070 Ti	RTX 5070 Ti Super	RTX 5070	RTX 5070 Super
GPU Die	GB203				GB205
CUDA Cores	10,752		8,960		6,144	6,400
Memory Capacity	16 GB	24 GB	16 GB	24 GB	12 GB	18 GB
Memory Speed	30 Gbps	32 Gbps	28 Gbps
Bus Type	256-bit				192-bit
Total Board Power	360W	415W	300W	350W	250W	275W

It's important to remember, of course, that the Super cards' appearance in the tool confirms nothing. Many expected the series to be announced at CES 2026 in January after it appeared in the calculator a few months earlier, but Nvidia put a stop to the rumors prior to the event with confirmation that there would be no new GPUs.

There's also the fact that these cards would presumably cost an absolute fortune amid the AI-driven memory crisis. The situation is so bad that the RTX 3060 was recently relaunched in the US and Europe, carrying the same $329 price it had when first released in 2021.

However, despite evidence to the contrary, we do keep seeing claims that the Super series will launch at some point in the near future. Renowned leaker MEGAsizeGPU, who has a good track record when it comes to Nvidia rumors, said last month that they could even be announced this year.

If they're delaying the 60xx series until 2028, which most commentators agree on, I would find it inconceivable that Nvidia would come up with nothing new for all of 2027, especially as RDNA5 is expected to launch in Q3.

It does not matter when or how they launch. If the card costs too much - then there is no real demand. You can count the people by hand who pay 1500 for a 5080 and 1700 for 5080 S, if there is a 9070 XT for 800 or 9070 for 600.

We got Blackwell supers in psu calculator but not per pin voltage sensing for 12V-2x6 connectors that was shown last year by Seasonic. Which is available by 2 competitors and will only be available to enterprise level psus in q3 2026 with no consumer grade psus in site.

NVidia can barely produce 50 series cards as GDDR7 is too expensive so they re-release the 3060. Then they release a series of super cards with even more GDDR7 on? Go figure...

Lowest I see a 9070XT is $720. I agree though. Any sensible person that is not an airhead would just run the 9070XT for less than half the price than to just mindlessly shell out that amount of money for not +50% return.

Found one for slightly cheaper at $689.99 FYI
Also $659.99 if you are lucky enough to live close to a Microcenter.

AMD graphics card prices have been all over the map lately. Using PCPartPicker, I set an alert and managed to snag a 9070 XT from Walmart for $549 last week. Even without the deal, it reinforces the bigger point: AMD is a much better value.

For context, I have owned only Nvidia GPUs for about 20 years, and I just replaced my 3070 Ti with the 9070 XT.

The 9070 XT gives me most of what I actually care about: strong raster performance, ray tracing support, upscaling, frame generation, and 16GB of VRAM. Nvidia still has advantages in some areas, especially DLSS, heavier RT/path tracing, CUDA, and the broader software ecosystem, but for gaming value the AMD option is hard to ignore.

The bigger issue is that AMD did not release anything above the 9070 XT. A larger RDNA 4 card with more power budget, faster memory, and higher clocks could have made the high-end market much more interesting. Maybe it still would not match a hypothetical 5080 Super across the board, but it would at least give buyers another serious option instead of leaving Nvidia mostly uncontested at the top.

wow $549 is a great price. This is also my first time going with AMD for a GPU. Prior to that I had a 3080, 1080Ti, 1060 6GB, 1050Ti for my main machine. I have stuck with my 3050 for my racing rig.

I am in the same boat when it comes to the 9070XT from the 3080. A major reason was the 3080 was just so damn loud. I agree that DLSS, the RT performance, and some aspects of the software ecosystem are better even by a little bit. My stance on the software side though is I like how adrenaline is over the Nvidia App. But that might be preference.

I think the high mid range approach was more so to get the foundation down for the ray tracing performance, like proving the public that they can get it pretty close to comparable cards like the 5070Ti.

Im very optimistic with their next GPU lineup. If this is the improvement from the last lineup, then I expect a lot more from them.

Demand is amazing. 5080 and 5090 only got more expensive. And the nex below, 5070ti, still costs the same, except for few less desirable models. For example, check 5070ti asus tuf. I bought it for 900 bucks.
Bets you can find is used for this price. There is a very good demand, hence the prices going up or staying the same except maybe for low-end cards. Idk about 5060 and 5060ti,. I will guess they also cost the same.

The only thing I appreciate from newer cards is how much better they got in noise management.
I had 3070 from Gigabyte. At the full lload, it was roaring like a wounded bear. So, these huge heatsinks and 120mm fans make sense.

Yes, but not within a year. The would-be 6000 series is being delayed in place of the 5000 Super launch. The 5000 Super launch will not have increased memory due to the AI frenzy. Like the rumored 5070 Super, they’ll have more cores (if available) and higher clock speeds. If the chip is already using the maximum amount of cores possible then there won’t be a Super variant of the card.

Be careful, you can't go around saying Nvidia does not care about the gaming sector anymore around these parts. Certain people will fight tooth and nail with BS to counter that fact. As a matter of fact, I have not heard from a certain person since last week. I wonder what happened to them.

But I agree, Nvidia does not care about the gaming sector anymore.

I don’t usually check my notifications, so if someone replies they’ll most likely be unread. Everyone on the internet today is a bot or AI realistically so I don’t put to much thought into it anymore lol

Based lol. I just like messing with people, but I never stoop so low as to call someone names. I guess I criticized Nvidia so bad and he couldnt cope. Dude started calling me names so I just reported him, and he hasnt posted in a week when typically he posts multiple times a day.
