Nvidia may launch RTX 50 Super series in 2026 and include 12GB RTX 5060 Super
A series of Nvidia’s RTX 50 Super graphics cards, previously shrouded in uncertainty, appear to be back in the company’s plans for a 2026 launch. New information obtained by a leaker indicates that the Blackwell GPU lineup may not only be confirmed, but also include an all-new model: the RTX 5060 Super, equipped with 12GB of VRAM. The news comes after a period of silence, driven by a component crisis that affected production lines, especially due to high demand for artificial intelligence solutions. Details were released on June 5, 2026, reigniting the expectations of enthusiasts and gamers.
Details about the potential RTX 5060 Super
Although Nvidia has not made official announcements, the leak suggests that the RTX 5060 Super, or possibly called the RTX 5060 12GB, would come with 12GB of GDDR7 memory. This configuration could use four 3GB VRAM modules, integrated into a 128-bit bus, similar to the standard RTX 5060 model. The inclusion of this new card in the “Super” portfolio signals a possible effort by Nvidia to offer updated options across different performance ranges, serving a broader audience in the graphics card market.

Other GPUs from the RTX 50 Super line expected
In addition to the RTX 5060 Super, previous leaks have already pointed to the existence of other “Super” models within the RTX 50 series. These cards promise significant upgrades in memory capacity and performance, aiming to improve the experience for demanding users. Suggested specifications, based on previous rumors and reinforced by the latest information, include:
- RTX 5070 Super:With 18GB of GDDR7 VRAM and a 192-bit bus.
- RTX 5070 Ti Super:Offering 24GB of GDDR7 VRAM and a 256-bit bus.
- RTX 5080 Super:Also with 24GB of GDDR7 VRAM and a 256-bit bus.
The expectation is that all of these models use 3GB GDDR7 chips, optimizing data delivery and graphics processing power. These improvements represent a leap forward over non-Super models of the same generation, especially when it comes to video memory, a crucial component for modern games and applications.
The impact of demand for artificial intelligence on the GPU market
The exponential demand for graphics chips for artificial intelligence applications has put considerable pressure on the GPU supply chain. The AI boom diverted a large part of Nvidia’s production capacity to serve the corporate segment, which seeks high-performance cards for data centers and the development of complex models. This scenario caused a shortage of components for the consumer market, raising prices and postponing the launch of new generations of cards, such as the RTX 50 Super series. The priority on manufacturing for AI has resulted in uncertainty about the availability and economic viability of GPUs for gamers.

The Cost Challenges of GDDR7 Memory for Consumers
The high cost of GDDR7 memory, with 28Gbps modules, is another determining factor that has shaped the graphics card market. GDDR7 technology represents a significant advance in speed and bandwidth, but its mass production still faces challenges that directly impact the final price of the products. In November of the previous year, rumors circulated that the RTX 50 Super series could be canceled precisely because of the excessive valuation of these memory modules. Incorporating these expensive components into a new line of GPUs could mean a high cost for consumers, raising questions about the cost-benefit ratio of these future cards.
What’s still unknown about the RTX 50 Super series
Although recent leaks indicate that the RTX 50 Super series remains in Nvidia’s plans for 2026, the exact launch date and official prices are still unknown. The company had previously denied rumors of a 50 Super series announcement at CES 2026, adding a layer of mystery to future plans. With the DRAM market currently expensive and GPU prices influenced by growing demand for AI, these new cards may not offer the same value as previous generations. We will need to wait for more official confirmations from Nvidia to fully understand the impact and strategy behind this highly anticipated product line.
