GPU prices in China have increased massively due to recent adjustments to GDDR6 and GDDR7 memory, affecting AMD & NVIDIA graphics cards. China Sees Big Surge In GPU Prices Overnight, Affecting Both AMD & NVIDIA Graphics Cards GPU makers such as NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel have been trying to absorb memory price increases for a while now, but they have gotten out of hand due to persistent shortages, which have raised the DRAM costs for GDDR6 and GDDR7 products 10-fold, resulting in a significant increase in graphics card prices. And it's not just memory prices; other components that go into […]

There have been rumours about an RTX 50 Super launch for months now, but continued price rises across memory products have apparently derailed the planned launch. According to reports, a shortage of 3GB GDDR7 modules and increased pricing has forced Nvidia to delay RTX 50 Super. 

VideoCardz reports that while partners possess the chips for RTX 50 Super graphics cards, they can't proceed with manufacturing due to a lack of available memory, coupled with high pricing for the GDDR7 chips available. To put it in perspective, a 3GB GDDR7 chip is currently estimated to cost between $60 and $70. On the other hand, a 2GB GDDR7 chip reportedly costs about $20. 

The rumoured RTX 50 Super refresh was apparently planned with 3GB GDDR7 modules in mind, up from the standard 2GB chips found on regular RTX 50 cards. This upgrade shifts the RTX 5070 Super to 18GB of VRAM, while both the RTX 5070 Ti Super and RTX 5080 Super should feature 24GB. However, Nvidia is allegedly redirecting these specific 3GB components to its more profitable AI graphics cards, including RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell and Rubin CPX, where it's easier to mask the increased price of the 3GB GDDR7 modules.

According to the Seasonic Power Supply calculator, the RTX 50 Super GPUs may also have higher TGP targets than their non-Super counterparts. Apparently an RTX 5080 Super will draw as much as 415W, a 55W increase over the RTX 5080. The RTX 5070 Ti Super has been seen listed at 350W and the RTX 5070 Super is listed at 275W. The theory is that the increased power draw is tied to the denser memory configuration, as well as potential clock speed bumps.

KitGuru Says: Do you think we will eventually get an RTX 50 Super refresh, or will Nvidia jump right to RTX 60? 

As of now, at least one board partner has received the latest RTX 50 Super cards, but NVIDIA has reportedly put the GPUs on hold for sale. NVIDIA Board Partners Receive RTX 50 Super GPUs, But Are Put on Hold Due to 3 GB GDDR7 Memory Prices It appears that NVIDIA has already prepared the Blackwell RTX 50 SUPER series cards, but some decisions are yet to be made. We have previously reported that the RTX 50 Super cards were delayed due to pricey GDDR7 memory, and given the current state of the market, NVIDIA not only delayed the SUPER […]

The rumor surrounding an RTX 5070 Laptop GPU with 12GB of VRAM isn't new, but after the latest findings, it's almost certainly in development. Evidence has shifted from vague speculation to appearing in official, public-facing documentation from Lenovo. As of today, Nvidia still hasn't officially confirmed this SKU, but the breadcrumbs left behind by the laptop manufacturer suggest a launch is imminent.

The most compelling evidence comes from Lenovo's Product Specifications Reference (PSREF) spotted by Huang514613 and VideoCardz, which was recently updated with several 2026 laptop entries. These entries include the new Legion Pro 5, with multiple configurations explicitly listing the “Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 12GB GDDR7”. Interestingly, some listings show a 115W TGP with a 2347MHz boost clock (matching the 8GB version), while others list a lower 1425MHz clock, which could indicate a “Max-Q”-style efficiency variant. Moreover, it also shows some Yoga Pro and LOQ lineup models featuring the 12GB 5070 with a 115W TGP. Because Lenovo still has active listings for the 8GB model, it appears they plan to offer two distinct memory tiers for the RTX 5070.

Before this, the same leaker had shared an entry of an Asus ROG Strix Scar with an RTX 5070 Laptop GPU. However, a single entry mentioning the 12GB variant of the RTX 5070 still left many sceptical, as it could be just a typo. However, given the sheer amount of entries spotted at Lenovo's PSREF, it looks like a 12GB variant is indeed coming.

The standard RTX 5070 Mobile (GB206) uses a 128-bit bus. Normally, this limits you to 8GB (4x 2 GB modules), which is used by the current RTX 5070 Laptop GPU. However, using 3GB modules on the existing 128-bit bus would allow Nvidia to reach 12GB without moving to a larger, more expensive 192-bit chip (GB205).

The individual who spotted these entries has also claimed that the official embargo for this 12GB SKU lifts in late April 2026. This aligns with the “spring refresh” cycle typically seen for gaming laptops ahead of the summer graduation and back-to-school season.

KitGuru says: A 12GB variant of the RTX 5070 would certainly make it more compelling. However, due to current industry conditions, pricing might ruin what could possibly be a sweet spot for laptop GPUs.

A new type of scam has emerged, but it's definitely not the first one. As GPUs and VRAM become expensive, scammers are now stealing the core components.

Nvidia is reportedly preparing a new variant of the GeForce RTX 5050, which will feature an unconventional 9GB memory capacity. According to the report, this new model is designed to sit alongside the existing 8 GB version, offering a slight bump in both VRAM and speed.

As per MEGAsizeGPU's post, while the original 8GB model uses 20Gbps GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, this newer 9GB variant will shift to faster 28Gbps GDDR7 modules. Despite moving to a narrower 96-bit memory bus, the higher clock speeds of the GDDR7 memory result in a total bandwidth of 336GB/s, a roughly 5% improvement over the 8GB model's 320GB/s.

The core specifications for the RTX 5050 9GB are expected to remain consistent with the original model. It will likely leverage the GB207 GPU, which is the smallest die in the Blackwell family. This chip is expected to feature 2,560 CUDA cores and a 130W TDP, making it a prime candidate for compact builds and systems with standard PSUs.

Beyond the 5050, the MEGAsizeGPU also stated that Nvidia will change the GPU die for the GeForce RTX 5060. Due to a reported shortage of GB206 chips used to produce the RTX 5060 Ti, Nvidia is reportedly allowing board partners to use defective GB205 dies (the same as the ones used for the RTX 5070) for standard RTX 5060 production.

KitGuru says: The move to 9GB is an oddity in GPU history – if this proves to be true that is. We've seen plenty of rumours about Nvidia GPUs with odd amounts of memory over the past few generations and they have rarely panned out.
