NVIDIA RTX 50 Super Series GPU Leak Reveals Mid Generation Refresh With High Density GDDR7 Memory And Increased Graphics Power Limits
According to a hardware leak from the Moores Law Is Dead, Nvidia is in the process of ending the cycle of its existing desktop GPU lineup with a Mid Generation Refresh. The filed particulars from the Broken Silicon stream point toward a launching of RTX 50 Super series, which will include RTX 50 Super 5080, the RTX 50 Super 5070 Ti, the RTX 50 Super 5070, and a freshened at RTX 50 5060 after that line. The launch of these fresh graphicians is currently planned to happen during Q4 2023 or Q1 2024.
The top line change of the refresh is the increase in memory chip density; Supposedly Nvidia will be replacing the 2 GB GDDR7 memory chips with more dense 3 GB chips. The move will enable the company to boost the memory capacity of most Super models up 50 percent over the original non Super versions.
Although the main driver behind this refresh is memory bandwidth, the main core of graphics processing silicon remains nearly identical. Only the RTX 5070 Super will be visibly increased in terms of execution hardware in the leaked lineup, with the active production line doubling from 48 streaming multiprocessors to 50 (from 6144 to 6400 CUDA cores). The rest of the models stay at the same core count but push up the ceiling of total graphics power for even higher sustained clocks under load.
The premium RTX 5080 Super will see a bump in memory speed as well, using faster, 32 Gbps GDDR7 modules to boost memory bandwidth. At the lower end of the range, Nvidia is considering an RTX 5060 variant with 12 GB of VRAM on a 128 bit bus. Unlike the upgraded 8 GB card, this version may launch on the market without the Super or Ti designation, as the leaked specs show no increase in CUDA core count or power limits, essentially a memory upgrade.
| Model | CUDA Cores | Memory Size | Memory Speed | Memory Bus | Power Limit |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| RTX 5060 | 3840 | 8 GB | 28 Gbps | 128 bit | 145 W |
| RTX 5060 Super | 3840 | 12 GB | 28 Gbps | 128 bit | Unknown |
| RTX 5070 | 6144 | 12 GB | GDDR7 28 Gbps | 192 bit | 250W |
| RTX 5070 Super | 6400 | 18 GB | GDDR7 28 Gbps | 192 bit | 275W |
| RTX 5070 Ti | 8960 | 16 GB | GDDR 7 28 Gbps | 256 bit | 300W |
| RTX 5070 Ti Super | 8960 | 24 GB | G DDR7 28 Gbps | 256 bit | 350W |
| RTX 5080 | 10752 | 16 GB | GDDR7 30 Gbps | 256 bit | 360W |
| RTX 5080 Super | 10752 | 24 GB | G DDR7 32 Gbps | 256 bit | 415 W |
This mid generation refresh is also a very good buffer to prolong Graphics card market which will push for any future next generation RTX 60 series start even the next year or more. Based on the technical, general speaking for it is showing the moderate performance improved by increase more power limit and wider memory buses, but retail selling prices are still unknown for now. Availability and consumer prices will be set by factory production and overall demand for speed memory modules from technology market.
