NVIDIA to Debut GeForce RTX 50-series SUPER GPUs by Christmas
NVIDIA is planning to update its GeForce RTX 50-series SUPER line of graphics cards by Christmas 2025, says a report by TweakTown. The company will look to bolster the memory sizes of key performance-segment and high-end graphics card SKUs in a bit to boost their performance in higher resolutions, particularly with ray tracing and neural rendering enabled. In particular, NVIDIA is expected to leverage new 24 Gbit density GDDR7 memory chips that allow it to create memory sizes such as 18 GB over a 192-bit wide memory bus, or 24 GB across a 256-bit wide memory bus. Besides the added memory, NVIDIA is expected to marginally increase shader counts and GPU clock speeds.
The TweakTown article also sheds light on possible specs of the RTX 50-series SUPER lineup. Only the RTX 5070 SUPER sees an increase in SM counts over its non-SUPER predecessor, with the card maxing out the "GB205" silicon, enabling all 50 SM, for 6,400 CUDA cores, 200 Tensor cores, and 50 RT cores. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER sees no increase in SM count over the RTX 5070 Ti despite being based on the "GB203" chip that the two share with the RTX 5080, and there being a rather large gap in SM count between the two (70 vs. 84). The RTX 5080 SUPER, much like the RTX 5080, maxes out the "GB203." What the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER and RTX 5080 SUPER have going for them is a 50% increase in memory size to 24 GB. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER holds onto the same 28 Gbps memory speed as RTX 5070 Ti, while the RTX 5080 SUPER gets a marginal increase in speed to 32 Gbps. There are fairly good increases in TGP across the board for the RTX 50-series SUPER.

30 Comments on NVIDIA to Debut GeForce RTX 50-series SUPER GPUs by Christmas
I can certainly see a premium being charged for the VRAM bumps too.
except the 5070 Super that one looks ok.
Currently, price gap between 5060 Ti 16 GB and 5070 Ti 16 GB is too big. 12 GB 5070 is acceptable but somewhat limiting in certain situations, an 18 GB version priced to replace, or supplement it at $50 more would fit nicely, especially with a few more cores. If NV does as previously and the Super versions completely replace the non-Super, with no price changes (actually 4080S had a price cut), these are very compelling.
12 GB would be good for RTX 5060 if it can stay at $300, or perhaps $320.
I agree that RTX 5070 Ti didn't really need a Super, but the 24 GB RTX 5080 could be quite nice.
And it's barely faster than RTX 4080. So this will only excite AI "creators" that don't want to splurge fir RTX 5090 and need more memory, but it will bring nothing to gamers. Exciting times! I wonder how reviewers will be told to spin this upgrade as a worthwhile one...
Nvidia not only has the fastest cards for gaming, RT, PT and productivity , but the highest amount of vram across every segment. Crazy stuff - Intel wake the heck up, pretend you are trying at least.
You can already tell they have trouble moving inventory, at least here in Poland. FE versions of 5080 and 5090 are available on Nvidia's store for almost a month now. Usually they were gone in hours and didn't come back for weeks.
