Thursday, February 5th 2026 No NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50 SUPER GPUs This Year, RTX 60-Series Also Pushed Back by AleksandarK Today, 13:22 Discuss (2 ) Artificial Intelligence may be eating the world of software now, but gamers are the ones who are suffering the most. According to The Information, NVIDIA has reportedly entirely postponed the launch of its GeForce RTX 50 SUPER refresh, as the company's executives are prioritizing AI accelerators over the gaming sector, which consumes the precious GDDR7 memory. The GeForce RTX 50 SUPER refresh was originally scheduled for an announcement at CES 2026, with shipping in Q1 or Q2 of 2026. However, the GDDR7 memory used in the SUPER lineup was supposed to be a high-capacity 3 GB version, which NVIDIA managers in December deemed too important for gamers, and postponed the refresh entirely. The SUPER treatment was planned with denser GDDR7 memory modules with 3 GB of capacity per chip, increasing the memory configuration of the standard GeForce RTX 5070, RTX 5070 Ti, and RTX 5080. Initially, the RTX 5070 SUPER was planned with an upgrade to offer 18 GB, while the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER and RTX 5080 SUPER would each provide 24 GB of GDDR7 memory. As NVIDIA's AI GPU portfolio also uses the high-density GDDR7 memory, like the RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell, the company has decided to instead prioritize this high-margin business, leaving the gamers with inflated prices of the regular GeForce RTX 50-Series. Finally, the fate of the next-generation consumer GPUs from the company, codenamed Rubin RTX 60-Series, has also been pushed back in the company's internal roadmap. As The Information sources note, the NVIDIA RTX 60-Series Rubin was planned to begin mass production in late 2027, which is still far away, but that might get postponed as well. NVIDIA might not be able to secure sufficient memory capacity from memory makers like Samsung, Micron, and SK Hynix, prompting a delay in the planned production of these next-generation consumer GPUs.
