Recent rumors indicate that the release of NVIDIA's RTX 50 Super series GPUs could be pushed back, with the main culprit being a scarcity of 3GB GDDR7 memory. Initially slated to hit the market in the first half of 2026, this series encompasses models like the RTX 5080 SUPER, RTX 5070 Ti SUPER, and RTX 5070 SUPER. All these models are anticipated to incorporate 3GB GDDR7 memory chips, which promise a 50% boost in memory capacity compared to their standard counterparts. However, the situation has taken a turn for the worse. The prices of DRAM and NAND flash memory have skyrocketed, resulting in a strained supply of GDDR7 memory. This has raised the alarming prospect that the RTX 50 Super series might not see the light of day until after the 2026 CES event. In a worst - case scenario, it could even be canceled altogether.
