NVIDIA will proceed with its Blackwell SUPER graphics card refresh despite rumors of cancellation, though add-in card partners have not received final design specifications as of November, according to reports from Hong Kong and Taiwan technology outlets. The delay pushes the anticipated launch from early 2026 to the third quarter, contrary to speculation that memory shortages would eliminate the product line.

Industry sources indicate NVIDIA originally targeted a Consumer Electronics Show 2026 announcement for three models featuring 50 percent memory increases over standard versions: an RTX 5070 SUPER with 18 gigabytes, plus RTX 5070 Ti SUPER and RTX 5080 SUPER variants each carrying 24 gigabytes using higher-density 3-gigabyte GDDR7 modules. Earlier concerns suggested the chipmaker stockpiled memory supplies for artificial intelligence applications, contributing to broader DRAM constraints affecting consumer graphics hardware production schedules. Technology publication Benchlife emphasized that without official design documentation distributed to manufacturing partners, discussions regarding cancellation remain speculative.
