Nvidia GeForce RTX 50 Super refresh tipped to arrive earlier than initially anticipated

A torrent of leaks has revealed a significant amount of information about Nvidia's GeForce RTX 50 Super GPUs. The overwhelming consensus was that it would launch at CES 2026, a year after their non-Super counterparts. However, Tweaktown has learned from its sources that it could be earlier.

Apparently, Nvidia will push out the RTX 50 Super GPUs sometime in Q4 2025. If true, this will be the first time in recent history that Nvidia unveils regular GPUs and their Super variants in the same calendar year. While it'll be a raw deal for people who bought new GPUs this year, those who chose to wait will get rewarded with extra VRAM for a minor price increase, although the real-world differences might be much higher. 

So far, evidence of three graphics cards has emerged online: the RTX 5080 Super (24 GB GDDR7 VRAM), the RTX 5070 Ti Super (24 GB GDDR7 VRAM), and the RTX 5070 Super (18 GB GDDR7 VRAM, 6,400 CUDA cores). Unlike the RTX 40 Super series that came before it, only the VRAM is upgraded. Whether the RTX 5060 series will get the Super refresh is unknown.

Even AMD has a few mid-cycle upgrades planned for RDNA 4, although there isn't much information available about them at the time of writing. A 32 GB Radeon RX 9070 XTX was talked about (and promptly shut down) earlier this year, but so far, nothing has come of it.
