Recent reports regarding the GeForce RTX 50 Super series have generated significant debate within tech circles, warranting a cautious approach to these updates.
HKEPC’s Claims of Delay vs. Benchlife’s Contradictory Reports
New information has emerged indicating that the anticipated launch of NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 50 Super series may be facing delays attributed to rising DRAM prices. Earlier, we highlighted that the release, originally scheduled for Q1, might now be postponed until Q3 2026 due to escalating GDDR7 memory costs. However, conflicting reports surfaced today: one affirms the delay while another outright rejects it.
NVIDIA has clarified to AIC yesterday that the RTX 50 SUPER launch is not canceled, but has indeed been postponed to Q3 2026. Claims made by “Uniko’s Hardware” are inaccurate.
– HKEPC
According to HKEPC, the notion that NVIDIA has scrapped the RTX 50 Super series is unfounded, reaffirming the push to Q3 2026. In stark contrast, Benchlife asserts that both the alleged cancellation and the delay claims are baseless, citing a lack of technical details shared with AICs regarding the Super series’ specifications. They contend that the absence of design information from NVIDIA renders any speculation about launch timelines meaningless.
Our prior report indicated that NVIDIA has yet to provide design specifications for the GeForce RTX 50 Super series. As of November, no AIC has received any design details. Any discussions about cancellation or postponement are therefore irrelevant.
While it is indeed true that GDDR7 prices have witnessed an uptick, it doesn’t necessarily correlate with the alleged postponement of the RTX 50 Super series. Notably, NVIDIA is responsible for supplying GDDR7 modules to board partners alongside the GPU chips, and reports indicate that NVIDIA has unilaterally increased the prices for these memory components. Respected leaker @Zed__Wang expressed uncertainty regarding whether major manufacturers such as Hynix, Samsung, or Micron have adjusted their memory pricing structures recently.
I’m not certain what’s going on with NVDA and Hynix/Samsung/Micron, but NVDA has raised the GDDR7 prices in recent weeks when selling to AICs. NVDA sells GPU dies and memory in tandem to the AICs, which is why AICs don’t purchase memory directly.

While it’s quite late for a refresh product, I believe NVDA is attempting to extend the RTX 50 series lifespan, which might work in their favor.

As it stands, updates concerning the launch of the GeForce RTX 50 Super series remain ambiguous. With no technical information provided to AICs and the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) just two months away, it’s reasonable to conclude that NVIDIA may not unveil this new product line until later in 2026.
