Anticipation Builds: Potential Resolution of VRAM Issue in Upcoming Nvidia Graphics Cards - RTX 5080, 5070 Ti, and 5070 SUPER
Nvidia is rumored to be releasing Super variants of their RTX 50 series GPUs, specifically the RTX 5080 SUPER, RTX 5070 Ti SUPER, and RTX 5070 SUPER models. These new GPUs are expected to feature significantly increased VRAM capacities, making them ideal for high-end gaming and professional applications.
According to leaks and rumors, the RTX 5070 SUPER will have 18 GB of GDDR7 memory, up from 12 GB on the non-SUPER version. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER is rumored to have 24 GB of GDDR7 memory, an increase from the 16 GB on the regular RTX 5070 Ti. The RTX 5080 SUPER is expected to have 24 GB of GDDR7 memory as well.
In terms of hardware specifications, the RTX 5070 SUPER will have about a 4% increase in CUDA cores (6,400 vs. 6,144 on the regular RTX 5070), a power draw of 275W (up from 250W), and use a 192-bit bus interface with 28 Gbps memory speed. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER retains the same CUDA core count (8,960) as the regular model but comes with a higher total board power (TBP) of 350W compared to 300W, likely to support the extra VRAM and potentially higher clock speeds.
The release dates for these Super models are still uncertain, but they are rumored to be announced or released within the next few weeks or months, with a possible launch at CES 2026 in January. However, there has been no official confirmation yet.
As for pricing, there are no confirmed details yet, but given the increased VRAM and power specs, the Super models will likely be priced higher than their current non-Super counterparts.
Here's a summary table of the rumored specifications for the RTX 5080 SUPER, RTX 5070 Ti SUPER, and RTX 5070 SUPER:
| GPU Model | VRAM | CUDA Cores | Power (TBP) | Release Status | Price | |--------------------|-------------|------------------|-------------|------------------|------------------| | RTX 5080 SUPER | 24 GB GDDR7 | Not fully detailed | Estimated high | Rumored (2025 H2) | Unknown | | RTX 5070 Ti SUPER | 24 GB GDDR7 | 8,960 | 350 W | Rumored (2025 H2) | Unknown | | RTX 5070 SUPER | 18 GB GDDR7 | 6,400 | 275 W | Rumored (2025 H2) | Unknown |
These refreshes are expected to bring significant VRAM upgrades and modest core improvements, targeting higher performance tiers in Nvidia’s RTX 50 GPU lineup. Official announcements and pricing details should be awaited for full confirmation. Keep an eye on Tom's Guide for the latest on these new GPUs as it happens.
The increased VRAM capacities of the rumored RTX 5070 SUPER, RTX 5070 Ti SUPER, and RTX 5080 SUPER models could potentially enable them to run more advanced technology, such as artificial-intelligence applications or complex gadget simulations. If these new GPUs are launched, they could represent a significant leap in the performance of high-end gaming and professional systems, thanks to their enhanced specifications.
