Nvidia RTX 50 Super Lineup Leaked: Up to 24GB VRAM and 415W Power Draw Expected

Nvidia is gearing up to expand its RTX 50 series lineup with a "Super" refresh, according to a recent leak by reliable Nvidia hardware leaker @kopite7kimi on X/Twitter. The leak suggests that at least three new models—the RTX 5070 Super, RTX 5070 Ti Super, and RTX 5080 Super—will hit the market. These upcoming GPUs are expected to offer significant upgrades, particularly in terms of VRAM and power consumption, making them strong candidates for inclusion in our 2025 list of the best graphics cards for gaming. Rumored Specifications of the RTX 50 Super Lineup RTX 5070 Super GPU: GB205, based on the Blackwell architecture PCB: PG147-SKU65 CUDA Cores: 6,400 (a 4% increase from the 6,144 cores on the regular RTX 5070) VRAM: 18GB of GDDR7 memory with a 28 Gbps bandwidth on a 192-bit bus interface Power Draw (TGP): 275W (up from 250W on the RTX 5070) RTX 5070 Ti Super GPU: GB203 PCB: PG147-SKU55 CUDA Cores: 8,960 VRAM: 24GB of GDDR7 memory with a 28 Gbps bandwidth on a 256-bit bus interface Power Draw (TGP): 350W (an increase from 300W on the RTX 5070 Ti) RTX 5080 Super GPU: GB203 VRAM: 24GB of GDDR7 memory with a 28 Gbps bandwidth on a 256-bit bus interface CUDA Cores: 10,752 (as per the original leak, though @Tech_Meld_ suggests 10,753) Memory Bandwidth: 32 Gbps (corrected from the initial leak) Power Draw (TGP): 415W (up from 360W on the RTX 5080) The leak indicates that Nvidia plans to enhance the VRAM capacity of these GPUs significantly. For instance, the RTX 5070 Super will reportedly come with 18GB of GDDR7 memory, doubling the VRAM of its predecessor. Similarly, both the RTX 5070 Ti Super and RTX 5080 Super are expected to have 24GB of VRAM, which represents a substantial upgrade from 16GB and 12GB, respectively. Potential Impact on the Market These enhancements could make the RTX 50 Super series appealing to gamers and professionals alike. Increased VRAM is crucial for handling higher resolutions, complex textures, and large datasets, making these cards well-suited for future-proofing rigs and tackling more demanding workloads. However, it’s worth noting that these specifications are still unofficial, and the actual release may differ. Given Nvidia's history, it is also likely that these new cards will face high demand, potentially leading to price hikes. This pattern has been consistent with past GPU launches, and the RTX 50 Super series is unlikely to deviate from this trend. While we await official confirmation from Nvidia, the rumored RTX 50 Super lineup presents a compelling case for anticipation among tech enthusiasts and industry professionals.
