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.

And yes, there is something you would call 5080 Super. But ...
nVidia calls it 5090 D or 5090 DD and sells it for a "little bit more" bucks than 5080.
I have serious doubts we're ever going to see xx80 Ti again, unless competition returns to the high end. The existing 5080 is faster than anything from the competition, and the 4090/5090 are in a class of their own.
Fingers crossed though, my 3080 Ti is still going strong well into 2025.
But that was a response to the 69/6950XT.
Ada was enough of a jump the the 4080/S was enough to compete vs the 7900XTX, and RDNA4 is strictly a 5070 Ti competitor, so why pay the expense of creating another segment in between 5080/5090?
No need to innovate when your best competitor AMD is fast asleep.
Are there games that benefit greatly to having more VRAM available? Is there a Crisis 3-esk game that has been developed for future hardware with more VRAM that can take advantage of the higher amount?
The halo part can not have a "super" version, because it is already super-duper.Lack of competition. Imagine if AMD was about to release a 400 mm^2 3nm large Navi to come close or beat it for 899$ or 999$?
