Nvidia is reportedly still planning fabled RTX 50 Super series for 2026, leak claims — lineup could now include a potential 'RTX 5060 Super' with 12GB of VRAM Along with the old classics like the 5070 (Ti) and 5080 Supers. A potential "Super" refresh for Nvidia's Blackwell 50-series GPUs has been part of the news cycle for almost a year at this point, with the last substantial sighting coming from Seasonic's PSU calculator nine months ago. Since then, the rumor mill has been mostly silent due to an AI boom-sized component crisis that engulfed all production lines. But now, it seems like the RTX 50 Super series is "back on track," with leaker MEGAsizeGPU claiming that there's even a new SKU in the works. RTX 50 Super is back on track. This time includes 5060 12G ( or maybe it will have a new name as 5060 super )June 5, 2026 We've already heard the RTX 5070 Super, RTX 5070 Ti Super, and RTX 5080 Super mentioned before, but this time, there's also an RTX 5060 Super in the mix. This rumored GPU could come with 12GB of GDDR7 RAM, according to the leak, possibly using 4x 3GB modules saturated across the same 128-bit bus that the regular RTX 5060 has. This card could also just be called RTX 5060 12GB, as Nvidia has named a few SKUs like that previously. The leak doesn't mention other GPUs specifically, but through prior rumors, we can infer that the RTX 5070 Super might feature 18GB of VRAM, while both the RTX 5070 Ti Super and the RTX 5080 Super are suggested to rock 24GB pools — all enabled by 3GB GDDR7 chips. One of the replies in the post above claims that specs for these three SKUs apparently remain unchanged. *= unconfirmed models based on leaks and rumors We don't know when these GPUs will actually be released, but the leaker says he expects them to still launch in 2026. With DRAM being as expensive as it is right now, and GPU prices affected by the AI boom, these new RTX 50 Super SKUs may not exactly be good value. Back in November of last year, there were murmurs of these GPUs even being cancelled due to just how valuable 28Gbps GDDR7 modules had become. To add fuel to the fire, Nvidia itself quashed rumors of an RTX 50 Super series announcement at CES 2026 earlier this year. Add to that the leaked RTX 5050 with 9GB of VRAM, highlighting the sheer desperation of the moment, and any hope left was killed. An overpriced RTX 50 Super series launching in these circumstances was unlikely. So, a single churn of the rumor mill isn't enough to reignite excitement; we'll have to wait and see if the frequency of these leaks once again picks up.

"Super" doesn't have "AI" in it, so c'mon, that doesn't really work anymore from a marketing perspective.Reply I guarantee the thought has seriously circled on some minds there. - usertests I wonder if 5050 9GB will ever appear or if 5060 12GB could be the antidote for the low-end.Reply This isn't official yet, so there's still time.DS426 said:I'm surprised that nVidia doesn't call a 5070 with 18 GB of VRAM a "5070 AI" or a 5080 with 24 GB of VRAM a "5080 AI".

They're barely supplying the current lineup of GPUs. There would need to be a serious dent put in the AI bubble to make such a move.Reply - thestryker If this is still happening I suspect it's driven more by 3GB GDDR7 availability than anything else. We're also late enough in the 50 series that nvidia probably has binned GPUs they need to be using which may add to available capacity. There's also no sign of a future generation for consumer level cards despite being almost 18 months in so they'll have plenty of time to sell.Reply - Notton maybe this is related?Reply https://videocardz.com/newz/micron-now-lists-24gb-gddr7-memory-joins-samsung-and-sk-hynix-in-3gb-segment In terms of DRAM market share by revenue in 2025, Samsung is 36%, SK Hynix is 32%, and Micron is 23%. So that probably brings a sizeable fab online for 24gbit GDDR7.
