- NVIDIA’s Blackwell-based RTX 50 SUPER graphics cards are now expected to launch at CES in January 2027 instead of releasing in 2026.
- Reports suggest the RTX 5080 SUPER and 5070 Ti SUPER will get 24GB, the 5070 SUPER will get 18GB, and a new 5060 model could feature 12GB.
- Adding more memory directly addresses ongoing user complaints about low VRAM on recent mid-range cards.
Rumours have surfaced in the market suggesting that NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 50 SUPER will be delayed. According to a new report from BenchLife, the Blackwell-based desktop GPU lineup is now targeting a launch at CES 2027 rather than in 2026. This means that we will not see any AMD or NVIDIA until 2027. Rumours also suggest that Nvidia could announce the RTX 50 SUPER family at CES 2027 in Las Vegas.
The main upgrade for NVIDIA’s RTX 50 SUPER series is an increase in VRAM rather than a leap in architecture or core count. NVIDIA can increase the memory capacity by using the 3GB GDDR7 memory chips without changing the memory bus.
The RTX 5080 SUPER and RTX 5070 Ti SUPER may have 24GB of VRAM, while the RTX 5070 SUPER could have 18GB. Rumours also suggest a new RTX 5060 with 12GB of VRAM, known as RTX 5060 12GB or RTX 5060 SUPER.
Having an RTX 5060 12GB would make sense, given that one of the most common objections to some RTX 50 series GPUs is their low memory capacity. This is especially true in the mid-range, where an RTX 5070 SUPER with 18GB or an RTX 5070 Ti SUPER with 24GB would be far superior for modern games, content creation, and texture-intensive applications. The problem is that this improvement depends exactly on a component that has become more strategic and costly.
As time passes, the GeForce RTX 50 SUPER series appears to be delayed rather than canceled. Even the well-known leaker MEGAsizeGPU reported a few days ago that the RTX 50 SUPER series was back in development, possibly with a 12GB RTX 5060. BenchLife, on the other hand, shortens the timescale and sets the most realistic delivery date for early 2027, citing the availability of 3GB GDDR7 processors as the primary factor.
At Computex 2026, Nvidia centered much of its public messaging on its new RTX Spark chips. This included local AI processing, agent-enabled PCs, and new technologies such as DLSS 4.5, but not new desktop GeForce GPUs.
Given that NVIDIA’s RTX 40 SUPER series was formally unveiled at CES 2024, CES 2027 would be an appropriate time for another mid-range upgrade, particularly if the next full generation, the RTX 60 series, does not arrive until later. NVIDIA has already used CES as a showcase to refresh its GeForce product without changing the architecture, pricing, cores, and positioning.
Regarding AMD, they would not introduce their next-generation GPUs until late 2027, if not 2028. If everything goes well, NVIDIA will revitalize the GPU market in 2027 with the RTX 50 SUPER series. Users wishing for new architecture, innovations, and increased power will have to wait until 2028.
