Anticipating the RTX 50 Super for my next graphics card upgrade, but the process isn't straightforward
The tech world is abuzz with anticipation as Nvidia gears up to release the RTX 50-Series Super graphics cards, expected to hit the market in Q4 2025, or the holiday season, according to TweakTown's latest reports[1][2][3][4][5].
The upcoming release will see the debut of the RTX 5070 Super, RTX 5070 Ti Super, and RTX 5080 Super models[1][2][3][4][5]. Let's take a closer look at what we can expect from each model.
The RTX 5070 Super is rumoured to retain the same core count as its predecessor, but with a slight 4% increase in CUDA cores and two additional Streaming Multiprocessors (SMs)[1][2][3][5]. It will feature 18GB of GDDR7 VRAM, a 50% increase compared to the non-Super version, and is expected to retail at $549[1][2][3][5].
The RTX 5070 Ti Super, on the other hand, is expected to cost around $749, boasting 24GB of GDDR7 VRAM at 30 Gbps and a higher power draw (+50W), but no change in CUDA cores or SM counts compared to the non-Super Ti variant[1][2][5].
The RTX 5080 Super, the successor to the base RTX 5080, is rumoured to feature 24GB GDDR7 VRAM running at 32 Gbps, and a 15% higher power budget (415 W TGP) but unchanged CUDA core and SM counts compared to the base RTX 5080[1][3][5].
However, the pricing strategy for the RTX 50 Super series might be influenced by the current market conditions, characterised by high prices and scarcity[1][3]. Nvidia is reportedly aiming to price the Super refresh series at the same MSRP as their existing RTX 50 counterparts, offering improved specs without a price hike[1][3].
It's important to note that the RTX 50 Super series is not yet confirmed, and its exact specs, including prices, are not known[1][2][3][4][5]. With the current RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 models selling for hundreds of dollars above the MSRP, it's advisable to keep an eye on retailers for GPUs that are close to the MSRP, and to buy a GPU when one is found at a reasonable price, rather than waiting for the RTX 50 Super series[1][2][3][4][5].
The launch of the RTX 50 Super series might coincide with the release of AAA games, making it a popular time for shoppers. The series is also rumoured to feature more robust memory interfaces and every GPU in the RTX 50 Super series is rumoured to receive an increase in power draw, ranging between 25 and 55 watts[1][2][3][4][5].
In summary, the RTX 50 Super series is shaping up to offer more VRAM and slightly higher performance at unchanged or even reduced price points, making it an exciting prospect for PC gamers[1][2][3][4][5].

The current GPU market conditions, characterised by high prices and scarcity, might make it difficult to find a GPU selling at the recommended list price (MSRP). It's always a good idea to keep an eye on retailers for GPUs that are close to the MSRP, and to buy a GPU when one is found at a reasonable price, rather than waiting for the RTX 50 Super series.
While some PC gamers are waiting for the RTX 50 Super series, others are currently using GPUs with 8GB of VRAM, which might not be sufficient for running AAA titles on high settings for several years. It's important to consider the long-term performance needs of your games when choosing a GPU.
Many PC gamers are currently waiting for Nvidia's RTX 50-series refresh, also known as the Super cards. With the holiday season approaching, the RTX 50 Super series might launch just in time for shoppers looking to upgrade their gaming rigs. However, the current supply and demand might still cause high pricing across the board, despite Nvidia's efforts to keep prices steady.
The RTX 50 Super series is rumored to feature more robust memory interfaces, with the RTX 5070 Ti Super potentially having 24GB of VRAM and the RTX 5070 Super potentially having 18GB. Every GPU in the RTX 50 Super series is rumored to receive an increase in power draw, ranging between 25 and 55 watts.
