Nvidia RTX 50 Super Plans In Question as GDDR7 Supply Squeeze Fuels Delay Talk

Industry chatter points to delays rather than cancellation, driven by scarce 3GB GDDR7 prioritized for higher‑margin products.

Overview

  • Nvidia has not announced any RTX 50 Super cards, and the cancellation claim stems from a single Uniko's Hardware post alleging a shortage of 3GB GDDR7 chips.
  • Wccftech, citing Insider and MegaSizeGPU, reports the refresh is still planned but could slip to Q3 2026 with a possible Computex 2026 reveal.
  • Coverage links the tight supply to a broader DRAM crunch tied to AI demand, with fabs favoring DDR5 and HBM plus pro GPUs over consumer GDDR7.
  • Several outlets warn current RTX 50 models could get pricier as 2GB GDDR7 costs rise, and Tom’s Hardware notes high‑end card stock and prices already tightening in some markets.
  • Leaker Zed__Wang flags potential near‑term shortages for the RTX 5060 Ti 16GB, while analysts expect any Super launches to be staggered and more expensive rather than scrapped.
