NVIDIA is reportedly cancelling its RTX 50 series refresh, aka SUPER 5070/5070 Ti and 5080 SUPER, but will be rolling out more DLSS 4.5 features in the Spring. Folks looking to upgrade to something better than what is available now could be in for a long wait, as it’s now reported that the GPU manufacturer may be cancelling its next SUPER series but might be pushing its next generation of Rubin-based consumer products well into 2027 or possibly 2028. This information comes via a paywalled article from The Information, which states its sources have confirmed NVIDIA’s internal roadmap is targeting late 2027 to begin production on the RTX 60 series.
The RTX 50 SUPER series was expected to utilize the latest 3 GB GDDR7 modules and increase the 5070 to 18 GB, with the 5070 Ti/5080 being upgraded to 24 GB GDDR7. However, the ongoing speculation is that NVIDIA is now prioritizing these modules for AI accelerator solutions. It’s also possible that the follow-up to the Blackwell-based RTX 50 series is being delayed for the same reason. If either of these rumors is true, it raises questions about inventory for current products, such as how much longer NVIDIA will continue to produce them, and whether a manufacturer price hike is forthcoming.
Multiframe Generation
DLSS 4.5 was recently announced, and we have a review of its current features here. However, it was originally stated that more features would be introduced at a later date, and according to independent reporting, they are on track to arrive in Spring. The folks at HardwareLuxx dropped by NVIDIA’s office in Munich and were treated to demonstrations of Dynamic Multiframe Generation, where the GPU will check the monitor’s maximum refresh rate and adjust MFG up to 6x to achieve that FPS target. Dyananic MFG will only increase its multiplier as needed to reach its goal, so folks needn’t worry about unnecessary added frames being produced. The new up to x6 modifier is mainly intended for gamers using a 4k 240 Hz display, so such a high amount of added frames would likely not be needed for 120 Hz or 144 Hz panels for most users, although it could be interesting to see it used on a 1080p 600 Hz panel.
It had been mentioned that Dynamic MFG might launch in April, but that was a misunderstanding, and this Spring is the general window of release.
