Nvidia reportedly sources GDDR7 chips from SK hynix for RTX 50-series GPUs

GDDR7.

Nvidia's GeForce RTX 50 series (codenamed Blackwell) is known for being among the best graphics cards on the market, utilizing Samsung's GDDR7 memory chips. However, reliable hardware leaker MEGAsizeGPU reports that Nvidia has allegedly begun sourcing GDDR7 from SK hynix as an alternative supplier.

As per information from the leaker, Nvidia has only recently begun using SK hynix GDDR7 chips in its Blackwell gaming graphics cards. Until now, the company has relied on Samsung GDDR7 products. Reportedly, this change started with the launch of the GeForce RTX 5070, which hit the retail market last month. MEGAsizeGPU didn't mention anything about Nvidia abandoning Samsung GDDR7 chips, so it's reasonable to assume that both Samsung and SK hynix GDDR7 will coexist.
