Nvidia's next hardware launch for us gamers could be an RTX 5050 with a whopping 1 GB of extra VRAM

Palit GeForce RTX 5050 graphics card.

Ah, early 2025, those were the days. The RTX 50-series had just been announced and there was already talk about future Super models potentially sporting fancy collections of 3 GB VRAM modules. Now, in early 2026, there's little sign or hope for the 50-series Super cards—thanks AI. It looks like those 3 GB modules might only be packed into *drumroll* RTX 5050 cards.

According to hardware leaker MegaSizeGpu, and corroborated by Benchlife, the RTX 5050 will level up to GDDR7 memory later this year, and that'll be a whole 9 GB of it, thanks to those aforementioned 3 GB modules. Benchlife points out this is likely due to low supply of GDDR6.
