NVIDIA RTX 50 SUPER Refresh Reportedly Back on Track, RTX 5060 12GB Rumore

NVIDIA’s rumored GeForce RTX 50 SUPER refresh may be back in development after reports earlier this year suggested the project had been put on hold.

The refresh was previously rumored to have been delayed due to strong demand for NVIDIA’s compute and AI-focused GPUs, as well as concerns surrounding memory availability. During that period, attention shifted toward existing products, including the GeForce RTX 3060 12GB, which was recently spotted returning to the Chinese market.

RTX 5060 12GB added to latest rumors

The latest claim from MEGAsizeGPU suggests NVIDIA may also be preparing a GeForce RTX 5060 equipped with 12GB of memory. The leaker notes that the card could ultimately launch under a different name, potentially as the GeForce RTX 5060 SUPER.

NVIDIA has not officially confirmed the existence of any RTX 50 SUPER graphics cards, including the rumored RTX 5060 12GB.

While the specification is new to the rumor mill, it is technically feasible. A graphics card using a 128-bit memory interface and four 3GB GDDR7 memory modules could achieve a total of 12GB of VRAM without requiring a narrower memory bus.

Focus appears to be on memory upgrades

According to previous leaks, the RTX 50 SUPER refresh is expected to focus primarily on increasing memory capacity rather than introducing major architectural changes.

Earlier reports suggested the GeForce RTX 5080 SUPER could feature 24GB of GDDR7 memory. The GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER has also been rumored to include 24GB of GDDR7, while the GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER could arrive with 18GB of GDDR7 memory.

These upgrades would reportedly be made possible through the use of newer 3GB GDDR7 memory modules instead of the 2GB chips found in current models. The approach would allow NVIDIA to increase VRAM capacity without significantly altering the underlying hardware design.

According to MEGAsizeGPU, the rumored specifications for the RTX 5070 SUPER and RTX 5080 SUPER remain unchanged from previous leaks.

Memory supply concerns may persist

Although the refresh is reportedly moving forward again, the leaker claims that memory availability issues have not been fully resolved.

However, MEGAsizeGPU believes this may not create major challenges for NVIDIA’s board partners. According to the claim, add-in-card (AIC) manufacturers could receive GPU processors and memory packages directly from NVIDIA as bundled allocations, simplifying sourcing and reducing supply-chain complications.

As with all unannounced products, these claims should be treated as speculation until NVIDIA provides official confirmation.

The company is currently attracting significant attention with its RTX Spark initiative, while industry observers continue to speculate that upcoming RTX Spark N1X-powered laptops could carry premium price tags.
