NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 50 SUPER refresh may arrive sooner than expected – potentially in Q4 2025 or holiday season – according to sources cited by TweakTown. This contradicts earlier rumors of a CES 2026 debut and signals NVIDIA’s confidence in securing 3GB GDDR7 memory modules for mass production.
The accelerated timeline suggests NVIDIA aims to capitalize on holiday sales while addressing criticisms of VRAM limitations in base RTX 50 SUPER models.
Key RTX 50 SUPER Upgrades Revealed
Leaks from Kopite7kimi and others confirm three core improvements:
50% VRAM Increase:
- RTX 5080 SUPER: 24GB (vs. 16GB)
- RTX 5070 Ti SUPER: 24GB (vs. 16GB)
- RTX 5070 SUPER: 18GB (vs. 12GB)
Higher Power Limits:
- +15% TGP for 5080 SUPER (415W)
- +17% for 5070 Ti SUPER (350W)
- +10% for 5070 SUPER (275W)
Minor Core Bumps: Only RTX 5070 SUPER gets 4% more CUDA cores
Why Focus on VRAM?
The shift to 3GB GDDR7 modules solves critical limitations:
- 4K/8K Gaming: Higher textures without compression
- AI Workloads: Larger models run locally
- Future-Proofing: Matches next-gen console capabilities
This strategic move responds to AMD’s RX 9000 series offering more VRAM at lower price points.
Full RTX 50 Series Lineup
| Model | Status | VRAM | TGP |
|---|---|---|---|
| RTX 5090 | Released | 32GB | 575W |
| RTX 5090 D V2 | Aug 2025 | 24GB | 575W |
| RTX 5080 SUPER | Rumored | 24GB | 415W |
| RTX 5070 Ti SUPER | Rumored | 24GB | 350W |
| RTX 5070 SUPER | Rumored | 18GB | 275W |
| RTX 5050 | Released | 8GB | 135W |
Market Impact & Timing
- Holiday 2025 Target: Positions against AMD’s RX 9000 refresh
- Pricing Strategy: SUPER models expected at $50-$100 premiums
- Production Readiness: 3GB GDDR7 supply chain key to launch
If delays occur, CES 2026 remains a fallback announcement venue.

Why This Matters
For gamers, the VRAM boost addresses major pain points:
- Stutter Reduction: Fewer texture-loading hiccups
- Longevity: Cards remain viable for 3-4 years
- Creator Workflows: Video editing/AI without downgrades
Caution: These remain unconfirmed rumors – final specs may change. NVIDIA typically confirms SUPER models 1-2 months pre-launch.
