Potential Nvidia RTX 50-series Super graphics cards, including variants of the RTX 5080, RTX 5070 Ti, and RTX 5070, have surfaced in Seasonic's online power supply (PSU) calculator. This listing indicates that Nvidia may still plan to release these enhanced GPU models.
The inclusion of the RTX 5080 Super, RTX 5070 Ti Super, and RTX 5070 Super in Seasonic's tool suggests an increased power draw compared to their non-Super counterparts. The RTX 5070 Super is listed with a 275W Total Graphics Power (TGP), a 25W increase over the standard RTX 5070's 250W. The RTX 5070 Ti Super shows a 350W TGP, a 50W increase from the RTX 5070 Ti, and the RTX 5080 Super is allocated 415W, which is 55W more than the standard RTX 5080.
These higher wattage figures align with expectations that the Super variants would feature increased clock speeds and potentially larger VRAM loads, thus requiring more power. While the exact wattage increases may be speculative estimations within the calculator, they correlate with earlier predictions from industry insiders.
Speculation surrounding Nvidia's RTX 50-series Super refresh had quieted in recent months. However, recent reports suggest these cards are back on the development track. One leaker indicated that a 12GB RTX 5060, potentially named the RTX 5060 Super, is also being considered.
Given the typical product launch cycles, a potential release for these long-rumored Super cards could occur around CES 2027. This timeframe would allow Nvidia to establish a significant market presence for the current RTX 50-series before the eventual arrival of the next generation, the RTX 60-series.
However, the actual market reception remains uncertain. With likely only marginal performance gains over the existing RTX 50-series cards, which are already positioned at a high price point, the appeal of these potentially more expensive Super variants to consumers is yet to be determined. Despite the lingering questions, the recent appearances in hardware tools suggest that further details about Nvidia's plans for its RTX 50-series Super lineup may emerge.
