Despite sky-high DRAM prices, Nvidia is apparently working on bringing its GeForce RTX 50 Super refresh to market later this year. According to a recent post by a regular tech leaker, there’s been no change in specification from prior leaks, but the lineup will include a previously unknown addition.
We’ve heard whispers of a potential RTX 50 Super launch since April 2025, when claims that new models would offer a welcome VRAM boost to several GPUs. However, following the astronomical increase in the RAM prices and a failure to materialise at CES 2026, many understandably have considered the release of this refresh effectively cancelled.
These cards may not be dead, though. Following Computex 2026, PC hardware rumourmonger Zed__Wang claims that Nvidia is now in fact pressing ahead with the RTX 50 Super series, with an intent to launch by the end of 2026. Moreover, we should expect an RTX 5060 12GB to join the fray, alongside the other refreshed graphics cards.
RTX 50 Super is back on track. This time includes 5060 12G ( or maybe it will have a new name as 5060 super )

Zed__Wang stipulates that it’s currently unclear whether Nvidia will adopt “Super” branding on the RTX 5060 12GB, or sell it alongside the existing RTX 5060 8GB model, albeit at a higher price. The leaker doesn’t provide any such clarification for the rest of the lineup, perhaps indicating that we should still expect the likes of the RTX 5070 Super and so on.
While an increase in VRAM for the RTX 5060 would be a welcome upgrade, there’s room to improve this graphics card further, namely through a beefier GPU. There’s room to give this GPU more CUDA cores, for example, as the GB202 die it currently has at its disposal only has 3,840 of them enabled, out of a possible 4,608. However, this all depends on whether Nvidia is comfortable with this card encroaching on the RTX 5060 Ti.
While rumours suggest the RTX 5070 Super will receive a small bump in CUDA cores, the RTX 5070 Ti Super and RTX 5080 Super will apparently just have more VRAM relative to their vanilla variants. This greater capacity will see RTX 50 Super TDPs increase, though, according to leaks.
The value that an RTX 50 Super series could offer the current market entirely depends on how well Nvidia and its board partners can control pricing. If the current graphics card market is any indication, this refresh likely won’t do anything to bring down the cost of buying a GPU, but rather do the opposite. Here’s hoping conditions improve in time for this supposed launch.
