NVIDIA is preparing to refresh its GeForce RTX 5000 lineup with new models bearing the “SUPER” label. Based on the next-gen Blackwell architecture, these GPUs will feature notable upgrades, especially in video memory, aimed at boosting both gaming and professional performance. According to reliable insider Moore’s Law is Dead, the GeForce RTX 5000 SUPER series will be announced at CES 2026, with a full release expected in early 2026. Here's an overview of the expected specs, pricing, and positioning of the RTX 5060 SUPER, 5070 SUPER, 5070 Ti SUPER, and 5080 SUPER.

GeForce RTX 5060 SUPER

Specs:

  • GPU: 32 SMs, 4096 CUDA cores
  • Memory: 12 GB GDDR7
  • Bus: 128-bit
  • Positioning: Between RTX 5060 (8 GB) and potential 5060 Ti

Highlights:
Upgraded from 8 GB to 12 GB, the 5060 SUPER is more capable at 1440p gaming. It offers excellent value for budget-conscious gamers seeking performance beyond 1080p.

Expected Price: $349 (around $50 more than the base 5060)

GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER

Specs:

  • GPU: GB205-400-A1, 6400 CUDA cores (vs. 6144 on 5070)
  • Memory: 18 GB GDDR7 (up from 12 GB)
  • Bus: 192-bit
  • TDP: 275W

Highlights:
A modest but meaningful upgrade with increased cores and memory, straddling the line between 5070 and 5070 Ti, but without a major price jump.

Expected Price: $549
(Same as base 5070, which may be phased out)

GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER

Specs:

  • GPU: GB203-350-A1, 8960 CUDA cores (same as 5070 Ti)
  • Memory: 24 GB GDDR7 (vs. 16 GB)
  • Bus: 256-bit
  • TDP: 350W

Highlights:
CUDA core count remains unchanged, but the jump to 24 GB of VRAM and wider memory bus make it much better suited for 4K gaming and content creation. Performance uplift may be modest in raw power but significant in memory-heavy workloads.

Expected Price: $799 (about $50 more than 5070 Ti)

GeForce RTX 5080 SUPER

Specs:

  • GPU: GB203-450-A1, 10,752 CUDA cores
  • Memory: 24 GB GDDR7 (vs. 16 GB)
  • Bus: 256-bit
  • TDP: Over 400W

Highlights:
Top-tier offering for enthusiasts and professionals. With a 50% increase in VRAM, it’s designed for high-res gaming, advanced rendering, and AI workloads.

Expected Price: $1099–$1199
($100–$200 above RTX 5080)

Technology Highlights – Blackwell Architecture

All four cards share new technologies including:

  • 4th Gen RT Cores for real-time ray tracing
  • 5th Gen Tensor Cores optimized for AI and deep learning
  • DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation for smoother frame rates
  • GDDR7 memory – higher bandwidth, better efficiency
  • DisplayPort 2.1b (UHBR20) – up to 80 Gbps for ultra-high-res displays

These enhancements will benefit both gamers and professionals working with 4K, 8K, and AI-heavy tasks.

Release Timeline

  • Announcement: CES 2026 (January)
  • Launch: Expected between January and February 2026

Final Thoughts

The RTX 5000 SUPER refresh will strengthen NVIDIA’s position across multiple segments:

  • RTX 5060 SUPER and 5070 SUPER target mainstream gamers needing more memory and performance.
  • 5070 Ti SUPER and 5080 SUPER are ideal for enthusiasts, 4K gaming, and creative professionals.

While pricing remains within expected brackets, the 5080 SUPER could exceed expectations due to its high-end specs. CES 2026 is shaping up to be a pivotal event in the GPU landscape.
