NVIDIA to Debut GeForce RTX 50-series SUPER GPUs by Christmas

[btarunr]

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.

Predicting a ballpark 6.5% gain for those 3 models based on clockspeed Nvidia are leaving on the table with Blackwell, and either not or minimally increasing core counts. But they could always give less than that and let partners go crazy with OC models like they do now....

I can certainly see a premium being charged for the VRAM bumps too.

People should realize the VRAM scarcity is artificial and only serves the purpose of creating segmentation for SUPER models

I wonder if they will make a RTX5060 Super with 12Gb, with the same price like it has now - it will be a much better card. 5070Ti 24Gb seems like pointless for me, 16Gb should be enough for this GPU, only for AI stuff maybe.

Waiting to bite on that 5040 SUPER with 6GB GDDR5...that thing is gonna be a beast! Single slot too!

When Blackwell was initially released, there actually was an extremely limited supply of 3GB GDDR7 chips, which is why it's only on the RTX 6000 Blackwell currently.

WHAT just a RAM upgrade and call it a Super , with the RTX 3080 12GB no super name attached (they were at one point going to call it 3080 super which they should have) and they gave it More RAM More Cores More Tenser Cores More RT Cores Bigger BUS to 384bit and just called it 3080 12gb , SO now send your GPU to a professional upgrader for RAM increase and call it an official RTX ***** Super.

except the 5070 Super that one looks ok.

Blackwell continues to underwhelm.

Nvidia RTX 5080 SUPER expensive! Incoming

Its cheap.

The 5070S 18GB has my eye. Seems like a fitting upgrade from my 3080.

RTX 5070 Super 18 GB would be very attractive at under $600. The only real criticism of the card is that it's questionable value in the long term due to the VRAM, the 60 and 70 Ti have it beat, and I suspect those two cards are more popular.

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.

24 GB on 256-bit, but a big price...

The 5070S 18GB has my eye

A whole eye for a barely mid-tier card? I knew economy was bad but that's just ridiculous.

A mid-tier card with not more wattage than the card I already have but with MUCH better performance and more VRAM. Perspective and context is important.

RTX 5070 Super 18 GB would be very attractive at under $600.

As long as it's within 10% or so of MSRP, I can get it resale for less than most people pay.

"The RTX 5080 SUPER, much like the RTX 5080, maxes out the "GB203"".

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...

 

[Macro Device]

MUCH better performance

I'd say 30ish percent boost is barely enough to tell in a blind test. MUCH better perf starts at triple figure numbers.

 

[JustBenching]

That is a lot of vram. 5070s looks great for people that play heavily moded games that require tons of vram.

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.

I'm not interested in debating this. I've been carefully watching how this generation of GPU's has unfolded and am fully aware of the performance specs. Your estimation is just a bit off.

 

[Why_Me]

Blackwell continues to underwhelm.

Of course. I mean how can Nvidia compete with all those high end AMD cards.

 

[PLAfiller]

Well table doesn't include 5060, but wishing aloud it would be great if they release the low profile 5060 with 12 or 16GB....I mean RTX A2000 fantastic as it was, is pushing six years since launch. Intel is releasing the B50 any minute now with 16GB for $300 expected price....I mean come on.....the RTX 4000SFF costs an arm and a leg out there!

 

[Chomiq]

I can certainly see a premium being charged for the VRAM bumps too.

Or they'll do exactly what they did with 40-series supers - 4-5% perf bump with no price change or price drop.

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.

The 5080 isn't a bad card yes it's terrible value but what really angered me is with the super they could have easily given more cores and it cost them next to nothing instead they are slapping more memory on them. There is a gulf of performance between 90 & 80 but yes let's add memory and call it a day.

They need a reason to up-sell people on the 5090s.
