Nvidia has resumed development of RTX 50 SUPER graphics cards, claims a well-known leaker. When will they hit the market?

The story of the upcoming GeForce RTX 50 SUPER refresh resembles a rollercoaster ride. Last spring, first rumors emerged that Nvidia was preparing more powerful variants with more memory. In November, however, it seemed that the cards might never be released due to memory shortages. Now comes another twist: well-known informant MEGAsizeGPU claims that the entire project is back in play. Gamers who have long been calling for more VRAM may thus have reason for cautious optimism.

Comeback after months of silence

A possible SUPER refresh of the RTX 50 series has been discussed for almost a year, but speculations recently died down. This was due to memory shortages and huge demand for AI chips, which drained manufacturing capacities. However, informant MEGAsizeGPU now claims that new graphics cards are back in preparation. He did not specify a release date, but according to him, the cards are still targeting 2026. Nvidia has not yet officially confirmed the existence of any SUPER variant.

RTX 50 Super is back on track. This time includes 5060 12G ( or maybe it will have a new name as 5060 super )

New in the lineup: RTX 5060 with 12 GB

The most interesting part of the latest report concerns the lower-end segment. MEGAsizeGPU also mentions the RTX 5060 with 12 GB of memory, though he is currently unsure whether it will be sold under this designation or receive the SUPER moniker. The current RTX 5060 offers 8 GB, so this would be a 50% capacity increase, which many gamers have long been calling for.

Technically, it makes sense. A card with a 128-bit bus equipped with four 3GB GDDR7 modules would achieve 12 GB without the bus needing to be narrowed. This is a different approach than earlier speculations about 9GB variants of the RTX 5050 and RTX 5060 Ti, which anticipated a 96-bit arrangement.

More memory across the entire lineup

As with previous leaks, this refresh also revolves mainly around memory, not performance. The key is 3GB GDDR7 modules, which will replace the current 2GB chips and allow for roughly a 50% increase in capacity. The RTX 5070 SUPER should thus move from 12 to 18 GB, while the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER and RTX 5080 SUPER would offer 24 GB instead of today’s 16 GB.

We remind you that parameters other than memory have not yet been confirmed by anyone, and the table is based on current leaks. Therefore, the real performance difference compared to standard models may not be significant.

Why it might not happen yet?

Despite the optimism, a few questions remain. MEGAsizeGPU himself admits that the memory situation is not resolved. However, according to him, this will not be a problem for Nvidia, as it will supply GPUs and memory directly in a package to its card manufacturing partners, thus gaining better control over their allocation.

As Videocardz notes, Nvidia dedicated most of its time to artificial intelligence during its last Computex presentation, with the rest going to the RTX Spark AI PC. Not a word was said about GeForce gaming graphics, which does not bode well for an early release of SUPER models.

Would you wait for RTX 50 SUPER models with more memory, or are you addressing your graphics needs now?
