Leaker: RTX 50 Super refresh still on, plus 12GB RTX 5060

A leaker on X says Nvidia's RTX 50 Super refresh is still planned despite the RAMpocalypse. MEGAsizeGPU posted that 'RTX 50 Super is back on track,' and added that a 5060 12G—possibly branded 5060 Super—might join the lineup. Nvidia has previously issued Super refreshes that raised shader counts by using fuller dies or larger chips.

For example, the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti uses a full AD104 die with 7680 shaders, the 4070 Ti Super uses an AD103 with 8448 shaders, and the full version of that GPU with 10240 shaders appears in the RTX 4080 Super. The key change for the RTX 50 Supers could be VRAM.

Current Blackwell gaming cards use 2 GB GDDR7 modules, but Supers are expected to adopt 3 GB chips, increasing totals—so an RTX 5080 Super would move from 16 GB to 24 GB. The claimed RTX 5060 now uses four 2 GB modules for 8 GB; with 3 GB modules that would become 12 GB, placing it alongside the RTX 3060, 4070 and 5070.
