Nvidia is reportedly preparing to launch a new line of GeForce RTX 50 Super graphics cards, which are set to serve as refreshes for the current lineup. This upcoming release is particularly notable for its focus on increased video memory (VRAM), alongside some changes to CUDA core counts and memory clocks, which are essential for enhancing the overall performance of these graphics cards.

According to well-known leaker kopite7kimi, Nvidia is not only targeting Super variants of the RTX 5070 and RTX 5080 but is also introducing an RTX 5070 Ti Super. These revelations mark an exciting development for gamers and tech enthusiasts alike. The leaker has provided purported specifications for each of these models, which are summarized in the table below:

From this leak, it seems that Nvidia is not expanding the memory buses for the Super models, suggesting that they will utilize 3GB GDDR7 modules instead of the current 2GB ones. This adjustment hints at a significant upgrade in memory capacity, especially for the RTX 5070, which will see an increase of 6GB, bringing its total to 18GB.

Interestingly, the RTX 5080 Super is also set to benefit from a memory clock boost, increasing from the already impressive 30Gb/s to 32Gb/s. This enhancement is particularly noteworthy as it positions the RTX 5080 Super with among the fastest memory capabilities in the current generation.

However, despite these enhancements, it appears that the performance gains from these Super variants may not be as substantial as many were hoping for, especially when compared to past releases like the RTX 4070 Super. Both the RTX 5070 Ti Super and RTX 5080 Super models will not be seeing any increase in CUDA cores; the RTX 5070 will see a minor upgrade of just 256 cores. For the RTX 5080 Super to accommodate more cores, Nvidia would need to transition from the GB203 to the GB202 architecture, which may not be in the cards.

There is some optimism with the increased power budgets, which could lead to better overclocking capabilities. The RTX 5080 Super, for example, will have an additional 55W available for its operations, which might open up new avenues for enhanced performance even if the core specs remain unchanged.

While the leaker did not provide any specific timelines for the release of these new graphics cards, the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in January 2026 is being speculated as a potential launch window for these highly anticipated models. The increase in VRAM for the RTX 5070 is particularly exciting, as it will help close the performance gap against AMD's Radeon RX 9070 and RX 9070 XT at higher resolutions, catering to gamers who demand more from their graphics hardware.
