- Nvidia’s RTX 5000 Super upgrades rumored to arrive in Q3 2026
- A previous rumor that they were canceled has been debunked by three different sources.
- These GPUs remain a rumor in themselves, with no concrete confirmation or information sent to graphics card manufacturers.
Nvidia’s RTX 5000 Super upgrades aren’t canceled, but they won’t be here until much later in 2026 than expected, or at least that’s the latest rumor about these Blackwell graphics cards.
VideoCardz noted that Taiwanese tech site Benchlife claims that the rumored RTX 5080 Super and RTX 5070 Ti Super plus RTX 5070 Super are not canceled as recent rumor chatter suggested, but simply delayed (beyond previous rumors of a Q1 2026 launch).
Benchlife believes these Super GPUs are now intended to launch in Q3 2026, or perhaps late Q2 if necessary, although that remains a guess. As the tech site points out, Nvidia hasn’t even mentioned these graphics cards to its manufacturing partners, so we’re still in the early stages of the products.
As the site further observes, since there has been no official talk about these GPUs, even their existence remains a mere rumor.
HKEPC also weighed in here with apparent news (add seasoning to all this) from a third-party graphics card manufacturer source that Nvidia said the RTX 5000 Super upgrades are not canceled, but rather postponed until Q3 2026 (or sometime between July and the end of September). This report directly points out that Uniko hardware, the source of the cancellation rumor, is wrong.
This is in addition to MegaSizeGPU, a well-known
Analysis: Is the RTX 6000 also delayed?
So that’s three separate reports that the cancellation rumor is incorrect, insisting that Nvidia has chosen to delay these graphics cards, not scrap them entirely. And of course, that makes sense – Nvidia always offers a supercharged spin on a GPU range at some point in the middle of their lifespan as the reigning generation, so it would be very strange if this No It happens with Blackwell.
Especially since another theory, put forward by MegaSizeGPU, is that Nvidia is in no rush to release its next-generation GeForce graphics cards, and that the RTX 6000 models may not come out in 2027 as expected, but could be delayed until 2028.
If that’s the case, there’s plenty of room for breathing room for an RTX 5000 Super refresh late next year; It would be practically mandatory, of course, to launch some new offerings into the GPU world, if there is going to be a really long wait for the RTX 6000.
It’s entirely possible that while Uniko Hardware may have been wrong about the cancellation rumor, the reasoning behind it, namely a shortage of the necessary GDDR7 video RAM (3GB modules that are supposed to be used in Super GPUs), could still be on the money, and perhaps be the main cause of the delay.
Whatever the case, there is now a pretty clear picture that the earliest arrival of the RTX 5000 Super GPUs will be in July 2026 (or perhaps June with a real push), or quite possibly later. Which still means that those who perhaps have been putting off purchasing an Nvidia GPU now, believing that the new Super graphics cards are just around the corner, will rethink their purchasing strategy. In short, Black Friday can be a good time to get a good deal on an Nvidia graphics card.
