A new rumor states that NVIDIA is once again “back on track” to launch its long-awaited RTX 50 series “SUPER” lineup. It was once widely believed that NVIDIA would announce its RTX 50 refresh lineup at or after CES in January. After all, NVIDIA has a repeated history of launching a 2nd wave of generational products roughly a year after their initial release. While these products may have different names over the years, they’ve more recently been called “SUPER” and sometimes even “Ti SUPER”, as seen with the ridiculously long name GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER, a great card by the way.
Now, all that being said, CES came and went, and there was not so much as a peep from Team Green regarding new consumer GPUs. It soon became accepted that Ramageddon, aka Rampocalypse, aka the NAND/DRAM shortage, had claimed another batch of victims, this time in the form of NVIDIA’s SUPER lineup. Now, according to well-known industry info leaker MEGAsizeGPU (via VideoCardz), the GPU manufacturer is back on track with more consumer products on the way.
RTX 50 Super is back on track. This time includes 5060 12G ( or maybe it will have a new name as 5060 super )

If accurate, it would seem that NVIDIA is looking to release something to compete with AMD’s recently launched Radeon RX 9070 GRE, which features 12GB of GDDR6 memory. However, one could only hope that NVIDIA is paying attention to recent backlash over the pricing of the aforementioned AMD card and will release the rumored GeForce RTX 5060 SUPER at a sensible price for cash-strapped consumers. Otherwise, an RTX 5060 with 12 GB of memory could be a highly sought-after graphics card for those concerned about the limitations of having only 8 GB for future titles. It should be mentioned, though, that recent comparison testing of the Ti version showed that 8 GB VRAM is still very relevant for 2026 gaming, especially at 1080p.

Join Discussion →All your FPS for the low, low price of $4999 for the 5070Ti Super!!!!!!
Shouldn't be too expensive.
Real problem for AMD though, and they'll be dealing with an 18GB 5070 and 24GB 5070Ti/5080...
there is a daniel owen comparison of 8gb vs 16gb 5060 ti where he shows how a dialed down 8gb compares vs a maxxed out 16gb
short answer — if you have the budget then 16gb (or the new 12gb super) will give you peace of mind
if you fall short of budget & condemned to buy 8gb then you'll have to turn down settings and compare stutter free experience at low quality vs stuttery experience with all the bells & whistles probably for every new game
Who needs SUPER when you can have this? You will be safe till 6090 release.
One heatsink to rule them all.
@Brent_Justice did a review for us as well with the 5060 Ti, I linked to it in this post.
It's nuts to me that we're getting a refresh and all they're doing is upping the RAM in most cases.
So basically 0 performance increase but huge price increase in all cases. Somehow this comes off less as a gift to gamers as it does a gift to small fry AI Farms.
Time for $899 5070s, $1399 5070tis, and $1999 5080s...
What else would they up? These have been planned since the beginning of the 50-series.
Also where are you getting pricing information?
I guess the 5090 will remain the 5090. I dont see a retail card with more than 32gb of vram... not in the current market.
- From up my ass and under my balls.
Also projecting based on current card and ram pricing.
