A lucky NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 The buyer thought they had marked an unexpected upgrade after unpacking their new Founders Edition graphics card to find a RTX 5090 inside.

Although Essdee3D did not immediately provide evidence to save this strange error, they published a short YouTube video a few hours later, showing the brand 5090 installed and operating on a PC. In the video, the Reditor shows that the card is detected as RTX 5080 Inside Task Manager on Windows 11.
No luck for this Redditor, then. He did not commit an RTX 5090 by surprise, and the card he received is still the RTX 5080 he ordered, even if he has the bad label on the card. No other erroneous card report has been reported and Nvidia did not comment on the question itself. For the moment, we mark this to be a rare failure of the manufacturing process – no harm, no fault.
