Overview
- An unconfirmed claim from Uniko's Hardware said Nvidia scrapped the RTX 50 Super refresh due to a 3Gb GDDR7 shortage, but most coverage treats outright cancellation as unlikely.
- Wccftech, citing Insider and MegaSizeGPU, reports the refresh is still planned with a timeline pushed to Q3 2026, with a potential unveil around Computex 2026.
- Rising costs for 2Gb GDDR7 could lift prices of existing RTX 50 cards, and leaker reports suggest the RTX 5060 Ti 16GB may face short supply.
- Outlets link the memory squeeze to AI and data-center buildouts diverting DRAM capacity, with scarce 3Gb GDDR7 potentially prioritized for higher-margin models like RTX Pro 6000 and RTX 5090 laptop GPUs.
- Leaks indicated the Super range would use 3Gb GDDR7 to raise VRAM by roughly 50% on cards such as the RTX 5070 and 5080, and analysts now expect any launch to come later and likely at higher prices or in staggered waves.
