MSI is gearing up to release the new GeForce RTX 5080 graphics card, and leaked packaging photos posted on VideoCardz reveal some technical details. Judging by the images, the model will be presented in the Gaming Trio OC Edition with 16 GB of GDDR7 memory and a 256-bit bus.

Nvidia is expected to officially unveil the GeForce RTX 5080 at CES 2025, which is just days away. Sales will start on January 21, 2025, and at this point the card should already be sent to distributors, which is likely the reason for the leaked packaging photos. The RTX 5080 is expected to be the next step forward in terms of performance and energy efficiency, but for now, until the official announcement, key innovations are kept secret.
