The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50 series Super graphics card project, which was previously reported to be "on hold", has recently been revealed to be back on the planning track. The manufacturer is preparing a variety of products including a new RTX 5060 equipped with 12GB of video memory. A whistleblower said on social platforms that "RTX 50 Super is back" and mentioned that there will be an RTX 5060 with 12GB of video memory in this lineup. The specific name has not yet been finalized, and it is not ruled out that it will appear in the form of "RTX 5060 Super".
Judging from current statements, this new card will significantly increase the video memory capacity of entry-level products: the existing RTX 5060 has 8GB of video memory, and if the new model is confirmed to adopt 12GB specifications, it will increase the capacity by 50%. According to reports, this change is related to the adjustment of GDDR7 memory particle specifications. The Super series will shift to a larger capacity 3GB GDDR7 chip, thereby achieving an increase in overall graphics memory capacity under the same bit width.
The report pointed out that not only the RTX 5060 Super, but also the overall graphics memory layout of the RTX 50 series is expected to see a "general increase". In the current plan, the GeForce RTX 5070 is expected to be upgraded from 12GB to 18GB, while the RTX 5070 Ti / RTX 5080 is expected to be upgraded from 16GB to 24GB of video memory, an increase of 50%. Currently, except for the RTX 5090 notebook GPU, most of the RTX 50 series still use 2GB capacity GDDR7 modules. The introduction of the Super series is regarded as a key step in the transition to a larger-capacity video memory system.
Looking back at previous trends, models such as RTX 5070 Ti Super and RTX 5070 Super have briefly appeared on some power supply calculation websites (such as Seasonic Power Calculator), triggering speculation about the imminent debut of the series. However, it was later reported that Nvidia had slowed down the pace of the RTX 50 Super series and postponed the release time window to the third quarter of 2026 due to multiple factors such as tight graphics memory supply, rising AI-related demand, and rising DRAM costs.
The latest revelations do not give an exact launch time, but some believe that after adjustments to supply and product planning, Nvidia may officially launch some RTX 50 Super models in retail channels before the end of this year. Given that the overall price center of the current GPU market is at a high level, the report also reminds consumers that even if the product returns to the planning track, the RTX 50 Super series may still maintain a relatively "high" pricing level after its launch.
