NVIDIA's long-rumored GeForce RTX 50 SUPER graphics cards have been shipped to the company's board partners, but we can't get our hands on them just yet. According to VideoCardz, NVIDIA's board partners have already received the GeForce RTX 50 SUPER silicon, but the release is on hold by Team Green headquarters. This means that while the GPUs are physically with the board partners, they can't proceed with the launch due to a shortage of GDDR7 memory chips. It was previously rumored that the "SUPER" series was planned to feature denser GDDR7 memory modules, offering 3 GB of capacity per chip, which would increase the memory configuration of the standard GeForce RTX 5070, RTX 5070 Ti, and RTX 5080. Initially, the RTX 5070 SUPER was expected to be upgraded to offer 18 GB, while the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER and RTX 5080 SUPER would each provide 24 GB of GDDR7 memory.

Meanwhile, all other specifications will remain the same. However, since the 3 GB GDDR7 memory modules are being used in other products like NVIDIA's AI GPU portfolio, including the RTX PRO 6000 "Blackwell" and "Rubin CPX," the company has likely decided to prioritize this high-margin business. The availability of 3 GB GDDR7 modules is much lower than the current industry demand. As a result, gamers are left with the regular GeForce RTX 50 series for now, which uses the more readily available 2 GB GDDR7 memory modules.
