March-April Release of NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50-series SUPER Lineup, Possible CES Reveal

I know I know, we have all been hearing this for long time now.

NVIDIA could release the mid-lifecycle update to the GeForce 50-series “Blackwell” generation with the SUPER brand extension, toward the end of Q1 and beginning of Q2, 2026, BenchLife.info reports. The lineup could see some kind of reveal or announcements earlier that year at the 2026 International CES. The SUPER lineup sees NVIDIA update its product stack with at least three new SKUs, the RTX 5070 SUPER, the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER, and the RTX 5080 SUPER, replacing the current RTX 5070, RTX 5070 Ti, and RTX 5080, respectively.

A key area of focus for NVIDIA will be shoring up memory sizes, with the all three SKUs receiving 50% memory size increases over the SKUs they replace. The RTX 5070 SUPER is expected to ship with 18 GB of memory, while the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER and RTX 5080 SUPER get 24 GB of it. These increases in memory sizes don’t come with proportionate increases in memory bandwidths, as NVIDIA is tapping into newer 24 Gbit GDDR7 memory chips to achieve these memory sizes. The BenchLife.info report behind this story says that none of NVIDIA’s add-in card (AIC) partners have received notifications for new products, and it’s already nearing Q4 2025.

I am surprised that there is nothing listed for RTX 5090 like a 5090Ti, but 4090 did not have one either, be it a Super or a Ti.

Spec RTX 5080 (Normal) RTX 5080 Super Implication
Silicon GB203 GB203 Same die, but Super likely uses a higher-binned version for better yields and clocks.
SM Count 84/84 84/84 Identical; no core count advantage.
CUDA Cores 10,752 10,752 Identical; core count doesn’t drive the uplift.
RT Cores 336 and 84 336 and 84 Identical.
Tensor Cores 336 and 112 336 and 112 Identical.
Memory Size 16 GB 24 GB Super has 50% more VRAM, benefiting memory-intensive tasks (e.g., 4K+ gaming, content creation).
Memory Speed 32 Gbps 32 Gbps Same speed.
Memory Bandwidth 1024 GB/s 1024 GB/s Identical, despite wider effective bus from extra VRAM.
TGP (Power) 360 W 415 W Super draws ~15% more power, allowing for sustained higher clocks.

But RTX 5080S wont be still able to beat RTX 4090! I see 5080S as a better binned variant in the 5080 series, gosh, this reminds me of EVGA!

nearly summer 2026. at that point rubin might not be that far off ,might as well wait a bit more

And wait for an RTX 6050 with RTX 5090 performance advertised by Hensen Juang powered by fake frames.:laughing:
