The upcoming Super refresh of the Nvidia RTX 50-series GPU is reportedly on hold due to the high cost of 3GB GDDR7 memory chips. A VideoCardz source confirmed that one board partner already has RTX 50 Super GPUs on hand, but Nvidia has allegedly told the company that the products are on hold because of the price of 3GB GDDR7 memory chips.
This means that the AI GPU giant has already set an internal release date but is reportedly pushing it back because of memory pricing. If the cost of GDDR7 chips becomes too high, then the RTX 50 Super GPUs would either have a selling price that’s way above Nvidia’s targeted MSRP or, if it forces its partners to stick with or remain close to its set prices, GPU board manufacturers wouldn’t just make any units at all, as they’re going to lose money with every sale.
