The NVIDIA RTX50 SUPER series of graphics cards can be said to be ill-fated. There was news as early as April 2025. However, with the AI wave and the super memory cycle, news about it has been delayed from release to cancellation of the entire series. This year, we will use the legendary RTX5070 Ti SUPER to take stock of the current news about it.
The first is the most critical factor that has delayed the debut of RTX50 SUPER: video memory. It is rumored that NVIDIA originally planned to significantly increase the video memory capacity in the RTX 50 SUPER series. As expected, it will replace the previous 2GB/16Gbit GDDR7 with the new 3GB/24Gbit GDDR7. In this way, the RTX50 SUPER series can directly increase the video memory capacity by 50% without significantly modifying the PCB and power supply.
For example, the video memory of RTX 5070 Ti is 16GB GDDR7, and the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER is 24GB GDDR7. Larger video memory naturally brings a better high-resolution gaming experience, and the performance of AI-based DLSS technology will be more perfect.
However, in terms of GPU chip, the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER should continue the specifications of the RTX 5070 Ti. The improvements are mainly reflected in larger video memory and higher power consumption. The power consumption of the entire card will be increased from 300W to 350W, and the GPU core frequency will also be significantly improved.
Another thing to note is that even if the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER increases the memory capacity to 24GB GDDR7, the memory bit width is still 256bit, which means that the memory transmission speed of the SPUER series will still remain at 28Gbps, and the memory bandwidth will not be different.
Therefore, we expect that the overall performance of the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER will not be significantly improved compared to the RTX 5070 Ti. However, when using advanced features such as DLSS, ray tracing and even path tracing at high resolutions, the memory usage will be significantly reduced, and the gaming experience will be better for high-resolution monitor users.
Returning to the price and release time that are most relevant to players, we all know that the current trend of DRAM prices is rising. The price of the RTX50 SUPER series with a 50% increase in video memory will inevitably increase significantly. However, NVIDIA's Huang's knife skills are as precise as Swiss clocks. The ceiling for the price increase of the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER is the RTX 5080. I believe that there will eventually be no price inversion, causing the RTX 5080's cost-effectiveness to skyrocket.
Regarding the release time, the latest news is that NVIDIA will officially release the RTX50 SUPER series of graphics cards from the end of 2026 to the beginning of 2027, so it will most likely be at the CES show in early 2027, but if nothing unexpected happens, it will be later.
