Another news roundup including GeForce Now issues, another RTX 50 SUPER rumor, MSI Afterburner, and RTX Remix updates. As summer comes to an end, we are getting closer to the holidays and CES 26, at which point the rumor mills power up to full force. While there have been numerous rumors regarding NVIDIA’s RTX 50 series refresh, aka SUPER, it’s been suggested that an announcement might arrive during the holidays or CES 26, but the latest is leaning towards the latter. As rumors go, this seems highly plausible given that NVIDIA has often announced its new products at the January electronics event, particularly when it comes to its SUPER series GPUs.

RTX50 SUPER series delay …🥲
The latest comes from Hongxing2020 (via VideoCardz), who claims that the RTX 50 SUPER series has been delayed, but that is an odd statement since they have not been officially announced. Although CES is not specifically mentioned, it’s thought that this simply means that a holiday 2025 reveal won’t happen. However, some context may have been lost somewhere, as while NVIDIA does often announce new products at CES, those releases are often staggered out across months thereafter.
Unlocked Voltage Control in MSI AB?
While on the topic of upcoming NVIDIA GPUs, it’s been revealed that MSI is working on an update for MSI Afterburner to support unlocked voltage control for them. Unwinder, a developer for MSI AB, dropped this nugget in the Guru 3D MSI forums. Those hoping to use the new beta feature with current RTX 50 series GPUs are out of luck as NVIDIA has locked those voltage controllers.
“Autumn started and September MSI AB beta with MP2988/MP29816A support, announced in the previous post, is around the corner. We’ve got first working samples of future MSI 50×0 graphics cards with unlocked extended voltage control and currently testing new beta with it:
On such future MSI cards you’ll get extended triple channel voltage control and monitoring. Triple channel control includes core voltage control (direct PWM access mode with +-100mV range instead of default NVIDIA’s GPU boost voltage control on refrence design cards, with is allowing you to get just 0 to ~20mV (0 to 100%) overvoltage range), memory voltavge control and aux (MSVDD) voltage control. In addition to that it will unlock VRM temeprature monitoring (on-die MP29816A temperature sensor).
Sadly, as I mentioned above, it won’t work on current reference design 5080/5090 cards because NVIDIA locked access to such PWM controllers there.”
High demand for RTX 5080 disrupts GeForce Now
So, what happens when folks don’t want to spend upwards of twice the MSRP for an RTX 5080? They pony up to access its performance via the GeForce Now Ultimate tier. However, it looks like NVIDIA may’ve underestimated this demand due to reports that the GeForce Now app was temporarily disrupted, leading NVIDIA to address the issue on social media and then post updates on its GeForce Now support page. According to the latest update, service has been restored.
NVIDIA RTX Remix Update Introduces Advanced Path-Traced Particle System
NVIDIA added a new function this week to its RTX Remix project, which enables users to update older games and other projects with modern ray tracing features. The latest is akin to adding the icing on the cake with path-traced particles.
“Today, we’ve released a new RTX Remix update through NVIDIA app, adding an advanced particle system that enables modders to enhance traditional fire and smoke effects, as well as more fantastical effects, like those in Portal.”

NVIDIA has provided a plethora of video shorts showcasing path-traced particles in RTX remixed games such as Half-Life 2 and Portal. The new feature can produce up to over 100,000 shadowed particles for accurately reflected effects. More about the new feature can be found here.
“Now, modders can create brand new particles in Remix that match the look of those found in modern titles. This opens the door for over 165 RTX Remix compatible games to have advanced particle effects for the first time, and we can’t wait to see all the ways modders dazzle gamers with realistic and spectacular effects.”
