It’s surprising that we haven’t seen much information about the RTX 50 SUPER cards, especially with only two months left before CES 2026. However, it seems that NVIDIA may have canceled these graphics cards due to a shortage of the specific memory modules they intended to use.
According to Uniko’s Hardware, although this is still labeled as a rumor, their sources are usually quite reliable. The main issue appears to be the 3 GB modules, which are unsuitable for the consumer market. In fact, the current GPU models could soon become more expensive due to the rising cost of memory.
Growing Suspicion of RTX 50 SUPER Cancellation
Recent reports pointed to a possible launch during the first or second quarter of 2026, with notable VRAM configuration changes:
- 18 GB for the RTX 5070 SUPER
- 24 GB for both the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER and RTX 5080 SUPER
This approach was certainly ambitious, but the ongoing DRAM and AI boom has pushed memory prices through the roof, affecting both consumer and professional GPUs from NVIDIA.
This information should still be considered a rumor, as the most well-known NVIDIA leakers have not commented on it yet. In fact, Kopite7kimi previously shared some specifications. Meanwhile, a price war between AMD and NVIDIA continues with the RTX 5070 and RX 9070 XT models.
AMD, on the other hand, hasn’t leaked any new GPUs, although the RX 9060 (8 GB) is still expected to launch. It’s also unclear if new GRE models will appear in this generation or if we’ll have to wait until RDNA 5 in 2027 for further updates.
There’s no doubt that the current memory situation has caused many projects to be delayed or paused — and this might be one of them.
