Rumors Swirl Around Potential NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 SUPER 24 GB and RTX 5070 SUPER 18 GB Graphics Cards

Shortly after the release of the GeForce RTX 5080 16 GB and RTX 5070 12 GB graphics cards, rumors are already circulating within the industry about a potential "SUPER" semi-successor. NVIDIA's previous-gen "Ada Lovelace" GeForce RTX 40-series family is rumored to receive a mid-generation refresh treatment around early 2024. Speculations suggest that upgraded "Blackwell" desktop gaming solutions, such as the GeForce RTX 5080 SUPER 24 GB and RTX 5070 SUPER 18 GB card designs, may be in progress.

While it is uncertain how long it will take for these new graphics cards to be released, discussions on the Chiphell forum have hinted at the possibility of larger pools of onboard GDDR7 VRAM leading to improvements in AI productivity and gaming experiences. The speculated GeForce RTX 5080 SUPER card may take inspiration from Team Green's GeForce RTX 5090 Mobile 24 GB model, utilizing 3 GB GDDR7 memory modules.

According to recent leaks, company engineers are considering incorporating 8×3 GB (24 GB) and 6×3 GB (18 GB) memory modules into existing PCB designs, avoiding the need for a complete overhaul of board layouts. This move may address concerns within the global PC gaming hardware communities regarding NVIDIA's repeated use of 8 GB and 12 GB capacity products.

Early speculations suggest that the introduction of the SUPER "Blackwell" models may occur just before or during CES 2026, offering potential enhancements to the gaming experience for users.
