Reports Tie Rumored RTX 50 Super Delay to GDDR7 Shortage

A leaker says scarce 3 GB chips are being diverted to higher‑margin GPUs, with no confirmation from Nvidia.

Overview

  • Uniko’s Hardware claimed 3 GB GDDR7 modules are too scarce for desktop cards, prompting talk of an RTX 50 Super delay or cancellation.
  • Wccftech and Tom’s Guide relayed the claim, with Wccftech saying its sources expected no Super launch this year and plans pointing to 2026.
  • The scarce 3 GB modules are reportedly being prioritized for products like RTX 5090 laptops and the RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell GPU.
  • Industry trackers report sharp recent jumps in DRAM and GDDR pricing, and rising costs for 2 GB GDDR7 could make current RTX 50 cards more expensive soon.
  • PC Gamer cast doubt on outright cancellation, predicting Super models will still arrive in 2026 but likely at higher prices due to memory costs.
