Nvidia has delayed its RTX 50-series Super refresh to prioritise AI chips amid a RAM shortage, with current RTX 50-series production being slashed and no new gaming GPU launches planned for this year. The RTX 60-series, originally scheduled to begin mass production by end of 2027, could be pushed into 2028 or later, though Nvidia may adjust timelines if RAM availability improves and prices stabilize across hardware.
Rumors claim NVIDIA has canceled the Open Price Program for AIBs, potentially ending MSRP pricing on RTX 50-series GPUs and triggering “massive price increases.” The GeForce RTX 5070 Ti production may be reduced in favor of the RTX 5080 (with 16 GB GDDR7), while lower-end 8 GB GPUs could fill the budget segment; AMD is reportedly pursuing similar high-VRAM cards. Reports have been inconsistent, including a pushback from ASUS, creating uncertainty about the roadmap.
Nvidia reportedly cuts RTX 50-series production by 15-20% through at least Q3 2026 to meet booming AI demand, risking deeper GPU shortages as several models become scarce or halted; a Q4 review is planned, with shortages likely to persist through 2026.
Nvidia says all GeForce RTX 50-series GPUs will continue shipping, but a global memory shortage driven by AI data-center demand and supplier memory constraints is limiting availability and driving up prices. Reports about RTX 5070 Ti/5060 Ti 16GB being End of Life were corrected; Nvidia and Asus say stock fluctuations stem from memory constraints, not official discontinuations. With supply uncertainty and price volatility, consumers face a choice to buy now or wait while the RAM crunch potentially lingers into 2027.
An industry insider claims NVIDIA will prioritize RTX 5060 production (and the 5060 Ti 8 GB) over the rest of the 50‑series, potentially making higher‑end GPUs scarcer and pricier amid DRAM/GDDR7 shortages and broader supply‑chain pressures impacting devices from laptops to consoles.
Industry reports say NVIDIA is shifting RTX 50-series production toward the RTX 5060 and 5060 Ti 8GB cards due to a memory shortage, reducing output of 16GB variants and potentially pushing prices higher across the lineup; top-tier RTX 5090/5080 models are already trading well above MSRP, while NVIDIA hints at reviving older GPUs like the 3060 8GB to meet entry-level demand amid ongoing memory volatility, a situation unlikely to ease until memory production expands in the next few years.
NVIDIA clarified that Dynamic Multi Frame Generation is exclusive to the RTX 50-series, and detailed how the 240 FPS mode and Frame Generation work independently of DLSS Super Resolution, with user-controlled settings for target FPS and no requirement for 2nd Gen Transformer models for 6x Frame Generation.
The Asus ROG Strix G16 (2025) offers a balanced gaming laptop with a powerful Ryzen 9 9955HX3D processor and RTX 5070 Ti graphics, featuring a 16-inch 240Hz display, solid build quality, and good performance, though it lacks OLED and has some port and battery life limitations.
Nvidia plans to cut RTX 50 GPU production by up to 40% in 2026 due to global memory shortages, primarily affecting midrange models, which may impact PC builds and market prices, while possibly paving the way for a future RTX 50 Super refresh.
Select Asus Prime RTX 50 series graphics cards have dropped to or below their original launch prices on Amazon, with the RTX 5070 even discounted below MSRP, making it a good time to upgrade from older GPUs, though future pricing stability is uncertain.
Early Prime Day deals offer significant discounts on gaming laptops with RTX 50-series GPUs, including models from Acer, HP, and Alienware, with prices dropping by hundreds of dollars just in time for the 4th of July sales event.
An Inno3D representative inadvertently revealed that NVIDIA's RTX 50 series GPUs, including the RTX 5090, are expected to be officially announced at CES 2025. During a Black Friday livestream, she initially mentioned the 5090 would be available in three weeks, likely referring to Inno3D receiving the GPUs for preparation. NVIDIA is anticipated to launch the RTX 5090, 5090D, and 5080 at CES, with the 5070 Ti and 5070 following a month later, and the 60-series cards in Q1 2025.
Auras Technology, a supplier of cooling components, claims that Nvidia's upcoming RTX 50-series GPUs will dominate the market starting in December, although a January 2025 launch is more likely. The GPUs, codenamed Blackwell, are expected to require robust cooling solutions due to their high power consumption. Auras anticipates significant growth in demand for its cooling products across PC, GPU, and server markets, with plans to expand manufacturing in Mexico. Nvidia's server-related revenue is also projected to grow significantly due to increased sales of AI server cooling systems.
Rumors suggest that Nvidia's upcoming RTX 50-series "Blackwell" GPUs, expected to launch in late 2024 or early 2025, will be based on the GB202 and GB203 GPUs, with the former being the flagship version. These GPUs may feature a 512-bit memory interface and 28Gbps GDDR7 memory, potentially offering a significant performance boost. However, details about multi-chip packaging and memory bus widths remain uncertain, and as with all rumors, these specifications should be taken with caution.
