A potential "Super" refresh for Nvidia's Blackwell 50-series GPUs has been part of the news cycle for almost a year at this point, with the last substantial sighting coming from Seasonic's PSU calculator nine months ago. Since then, the rumor mill has been mostly silent due to an AI boom-sized component crisis that engulfed all production lines. But now, it seems like the RTX 50 Super series is "back on track," with leaker MEGAsizeGPU claiming that there's even a new SKU in the works.
RTX 50 Super is back on track. This time includes 5060 12G ( or maybe it will have a new name as 5060 super )June 5, 2026
We've already heard the RTX 5070 Super, RTX 5070 Ti Super, and RTX 5080 Super mentioned before, but this time, there's also an RTX 5060 Super in the mix. This rumored GPU could come with 12GB of GDDR7 RAM, according to the leak, possibly using 4x 3GB modules saturated across the same 128-bit bus that the regular RTX 5060 has. This card could also just be called RTX 5060 12GB, as Nvidia has named a few SKUs like that previously.
The leak doesn't mention other GPUs specifically, but through prior rumors, we can infer that the RTX 5070 Super might feature 18GB of VRAM, while both the RTX 5070 Ti Super and the RTX 5080 Super are suggested to rock 24GB pools — all enabled by 3GB GDDR7 chips. One of the replies in the post above claims that specs for these three SKUs apparently remain unchanged.

*= unconfirmed models based on leaks and rumors
We don't know when these GPUs will actually be released, but the leaker says he expects them to still launch in 2026. With DRAM being as expensive as it is right now, and GPU prices affected by the AI boom, these new RTX 50 Super SKUs may not exactly be good value. Back in November of last year, there were murmurs of these GPUs even being cancelled due to just how valuable 28Gbps GDDR7 modules had become.
To add fuel to the fire, Nvidia itself quashed rumors of an RTX 50 Super series announcement at CES 2026 earlier this year. Add to that the leaked RTX 5050 with 9GB of VRAM, highlighting the sheer desperation of the moment, and any hope left was killed. An overpriced RTX 50 Super series launching in these circumstances was unlikely. So, a single churn of the rumor mill isn't enough to reignite excitement; we'll have to wait and see if the frequency of these leaks once again picks up.
