RTX 50 Super Release Date: Rumors, Specs and RTX 60 Timing
Nvidia has not announced RTX 50 Super. Here is what leakers claim about specs, why a 2027 launch is rumored and what Nvidia has actually said.
Few pieces of PC hardware have been rumored for as long as the RTX 50 Super series. As of 2 October 2026, Nvidia has not announced it, has not given a launch window and has said nothing official about specifications. Everything below is a rumor or a report, and we label it that way.
What is officially known
Very little. According to Tom's Hardware, Nvidia confirmed before CES 2026 that it would not announce any new GPUs at the show, the first time in five years it had skipped new graphics hardware there, and the company quashed Super rumors at that point. When Tom's Hardware asked Nvidia about later reports of delays, the company did not address the product plans directly. It said demand for GeForce RTX GPUs is strong, that memory supply is constrained, and that it continues to ship all GeForce models while working with suppliers to maximize memory availability.
The rumored lineup
Leaks have described a refresh with larger memory, built around denser 3 GB GDDR7 chips. The most repeated specifications, all unconfirmed, are:
- RTX 5080 Super: 24 GB GDDR7 and a 415 W power limit, up from 16 GB and 360 W on the RTX 5080
- RTX 5070 Ti Super: 24 GB GDDR7 and 350 W, up from 16 GB and 300 W
- RTX 5070 Super: 18 GB GDDR7, 6,400 CUDA cores and 275 W, up from 12 GB, 6,144 cores and 250 W
- RTX 5060: a rumored version with 12 GB of memory instead of 8 GB
Unannounced Super cards also appeared in a Seasonic power supply calculator, according to Tom's Hardware, shown with a 10 to 17 percent higher power limit than the originals. A retailer or tool listing is a weak signal, because such tables can contain placeholder entries.
When might they launch?
The leakers disagree. A tipster known as MEGAsizeGPU said in June that the refresh was back on track and that they believed it would arrive in 2026, while admitting they had no specific window. Later, a report from Benchlife said the cards could arrive as early as the beginning of 2027 and matched the memory configurations above. GamesRadar points out that the two claims conflict. Separately, The Information reportedly said Nvidia plans no new GPUs at all in 2026, that the RTX 50 Super design was finished but deprioritized because of the memory shortage, and that the RTX 60 series is delayed past 2027. Tom's Hardware presented that as a report, not as confirmation, and Nvidia has not commented on the timing.
What about RTX 60?
Reports and leaks put the RTX 60 series in 2028, which GamesRadar notes would be the longest gap between GPU generations in twenty years if true. Tom's Hardware's coverage cites the report that mass production was originally planned for the end of 2027 and has slipped because of the same memory problems. Again, this is not an Nvidia announcement.
Why the memory crisis matters, and whether to wait
The 3 GB GDDR7 modules that would make 18 GB and 24 GB cards possible are exactly the kind of component that is scarce while AI data centers soak up supply. That is why the rumor mill keeps shifting between late 2026 and early 2027. It also explains why price is the central question: GamesRadar suggests that a Super refresh at unchanged prices would be tempting, while higher prices could push buyers to regular models if those get discounts.
The honest answer is that nobody outside Nvidia can say. If your current card handles your games, waiting costs nothing. If you need a GPU now, the rumors give no reliable date, and the memory crisis makes any price prediction unreliable. We will update this page as soon as Nvidia says anything official.
FAQ
When will RTX 50 Super launch?
Nvidia has not announced it. Leakers disagree: one claims 2026, Benchlife says as early as the beginning of 2027, and a report cited by Tom's Hardware says no new GPUs in 2026.
What specs are rumored for RTX 50 Super?
Leaks claim 24 GB on the RTX 5080 Super and 5070 Ti Super and 18 GB on the RTX 5070 Super, using 3 GB GDDR7 modules. None of this is confirmed.
When is the RTX 60 series coming?
Nothing is announced. Reports and leakers point to 2028, with memory shortages given as the cause.
