From Tom's Hardware: Hardly two weeks remain until Jensen Huang's keynote at CES and we're starting to see leaked images of what Nvidia has been cooking for the past two years; at least when it comes to the box art. Per Ruby_Rapids at X, the box design for GALAX's upcoming RTX 5080 has surfaced online at NGABBS. Despite confirmation of the artwork's authenticity by Videocardz through its contacts, it is best to take this imagery with a heavy dose of salt. A small 10-minute session in Photoshop can land you the same image if you're proficient enough so don't take this leak at face value. Plus it is hard to identify new features due to the poor resolution of the box art photos.
The alleged box artwork is in dieline format, which may look strange to those outside of the printing industry, but this is to ensure a proper layout for the final printed box. GALAX's artistic choice remains unchanged, sticking to the same hacker-inspired aesthetic though it would've been great if we got a close-up of the actual GPU. Nonetheless, the box art details several key features at the back but the lack of resolution makes the text illegible.
A key thing we learned from a previous RTX 5090D box art leak is that Nvidia is allegedly retaining the "Nvidia Sans Nala" font it introduced with the RTX 40 series. Today's leak further corroborates that so we likely shouldn't see any major artistic reworks. The Founders Edition design, however, might or might not undergo a redesign; something that'll only be confirmed by Jensen on January 6.
