TECH NEWS – A shortage of one key component may have caused Nvidia to postpone the launch of its updated graphics cards until early 2026.

Previously, we heard that the launch of Nvidia GeForce RTX 5000 Super GPUs was delayed due to ongoing DRAM shortages, particularly for the 3 GB GDDR7 modules that will be featured in the revamped lineup. However, according to MegaSizeGPU, the GPUs are still on track. The original plan was to release the GPUs in the first quarter of 2026, but that has changed to the third quarter of 2026. Nvidia is expected to unveil the series at Computex, with retail sales anticipated to commence in Q3 2026. Nvidia is expected to unveil three Super GPUs: the 5080, the 5070 Ti, and the 5070.

No cancellation yet, just delayed. Now planned to launch in 26Q3, previously set to launch in 26Q1. https://t.co/C3RmFv1uIq

The updated graphics cards are expected to feature 3 GB GDDR7 memory modules. However, due to high prices and supply issues, Nvidia postponed the launch to focus on higher-margin products, such as the RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell (which uses the same 3 GB memory modules, offering up to 96 GB VRAM) and the RTX 5090 Laptop GPU (with 24 GB VRAM and a 256-bit bus). Nvidia had planned to release the GeForce RTX 5000 Super cards in the first and second quarters of 2026. They could have been unveiled at CES or a special GeForce event. Although the company has not officially announced the Super GPUs, a lot of information has been leaked, and all signs point to a 2026 launch.

Although Nvidia’s current product range does not face competition from AMD’s Radeon RX 9000 or Intel’s Arc Battlemage, users are demanding models with more VRAM. The RTX 5000 Super cards are designed to meet this demand (rumored specs: RTX 5080 Super: 24 GB, RTX 5070 Ti Super: 24 GB, RTX 5070 Super: 16 GB VRAM). This 50% increase in VRAM would make the cards very attractive, but due to rising DRAM costs, Nvidia will likely be unable to keep prices under control or align them with the non-Super versions.

Taking all this into account, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5000 Super graphics cards could serve as a solid bridge before the Rubin architecture arrives in 2027.
