Less than a week left until deadline NVIDIA keynote speech exist International Consumer Electronics Show The Blackwell series for desktop computers is expected to be showcased. The following Preliminary checklist Acer unveils its upcoming RTX 50 GPU, iBuyPower is getting in on the action, and Nvidia’s RTX 5080 is the core of its upcoming pre-built lineup, powered by tearing us apart While we managed to grab some screenshots before the listing was removed, there’s still little information on pricing and performance.
Nvidia decides to revive GeForce LAN 13 years later, a 50-hour marathon ahead of the long-awaited unveiling of the RTX 50. To build hype for Blackwell, Nvidia launched the “GeForce Hype Meter” social media campaign, leading to the highly anticipated reveal. Leaked data from Zotac suggests that the initial lineup may include the RTX 5090, RTX 5080, and RTX 5070 series.
Looking at the spec sheet, iBuyPower claims that its upcoming gaming PC (codenamed “y40bi9n5801”) is powered by Nvidia’s upcoming RTX 5080 Super, just to correct itself in the description above (highlighted in blue). As far as we know, Nvidia has no plans for an RTX 5080 Super at this stage. Whoever posted this listing probably replaced the existing RTX 4080 Super entry with the RTX 5080, but neglected to omit the “Super” suffix.
Likewise, other specs mention Intel’s upcoming Core Ultra 9 285 non-K CPU, which is available for pre-order live in chinaand an unnamed cheap B860 motherboard with Wi-Fi support. It comes pre-built with 2TB of NVMe storage and 32GB of fairly slow DDR5-5200 memory. On top of that, iBuyPower uses its own AW4 240mm ARGB liquid cooler, but we doubt the 65W chip will need that much cooling.
In case you were wondering, yes, iBuyPower also includes some benchmark But they are wildly inaccurate, to say the least. It’s unlikely that the RTX 5080 can only push 50 FPS Baldur’s Gate 3 For example, at 1080p, the frame rate drops to 20 FPS when switching to 1440p.
According to reports, the RTX 5080 is expected to use the GB203-300-A1 chip, equipped with 84 SMs (10,752 CUDA cores) and 16GB of memory 30Gbps GDDR7 memory, 256-bit bus, and 400W TDP. While the chip is undoubtedly powerful, it pales in comparison to the RTX 5090, which offers more than twice the core count and twice the VRAM capacity. We can expect Nvidia to provide more details in a few days.
