I've been waiting for this: Nvidia RTX 5080, 5070 Ti and 5070 SUPER could finally fix the biggest flaw — not enough VRAM

Tom's Guide30-06-2025
One common complaint about Nvidia's RTX 50-series GPUs amongst PC gamers has been the amount of video memory (VRAM) for what you pay. DLSS 4 and neural rendering help lighten the load, but demanding AAA titles can still push systems to their limits quickly.
But it seems as if Team Green has a plan for this, as according to Kopite7kimi on X (who has been largely reliable with rumors), an RTX 5080 SUPER, 5070 Ti SUPER and 5070 SUPER are in the works. Let's talk about them.

Elements like ray tracing cores, wattage and clock speed may be important in the mix of a GPU. But VRAM is one of the more crucial elements of a good graphics card.
Cyberpunk 2077 with Path Tracing in overdrive mode can push 16GB' Alan Wake 2 can go north of 12GB; and don't even get me started on Indiana Jones.
On top of that, higher resolutions will up that demand, too, and with 4K gaming quickly becoming the thing, you need much more headroom. And that 12GB limit on the 5070 was one of my big gripes in my Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 review.
To up all these cards by 8GB is going to assure more capabilities to withstand the consistently growing VRAM demands of AAA titles.
But the big questions are always going to be price and release date.

Historically, the SUPER updates have either been given the same MSRP as their originals, or have actually been around $150 cheaper. However, it seems like MSRP is just pure fiction.
Unless stock issues change and the general tariff-fueled landscape alters dramatically, I have to use common sense and predict that trend will continue. I'd love to be pleasantly surprised though!
As for when they launch, looking back, SUPERs usually launch around 9-12 months after the normal models. This could mean a possible CES 2026 launch in January, but given we're already seeing possible specs from a reliable leaker, it could happen slightly sooner.
We don't know for sure, but keep an eye on Tom's Guide for the latest on these new GPUs as it happens!

Blood oxygen measurement returns to the Apple Watch, sort of

Apple has just announced a software update that will enable the missing blood oxygen level measurement capability on the Apple Watch. The update will enable the biosensing feature on the Watch Series 9, Series 10, and the Apple Watch Ultra 2, once users update their iPhone and smartwatch to the latest build. What does it mean for users? In order to use the blood oxygen feature again on the Apple Watch Series 9, 10, and the Ultra 2, users will have to update their smartwatch to watchOS 11.6.1. The update is now rolling out to users in the United States. In addition to it, the feature will only work when users also update their iPhone to iOS 18.6.1, which has also been released simultaneously. Recommended Videos There's a crucial difference this time around. Instead of seeing the blood oxygen measurement on the Apple Watch screen, users will now have to open the Health app on their iPhone. That's because Apple is now doing the computation on the iPhone, instead of accomplishing it on the wearable and showing the results natively on the Apple Watch due to the patent dispute over alleged theft of the underlying pulse oximetry tech. 'Sensor data from the Blood Oxygen app on Apple Watch will be measured and calculated on the paired iPhone, and results can be viewed in the Respiratory section of the Health app,' instructs Apple. For all other Apple Watch models not affected by the patent dispute, they will continue to measure and show the measurements in the Blood Oxygen app on the smartwatch's screen. Why the hassle? So far, Apple Watch users have been able to track their blood oxygen saturation levels on their Apple Watch and see the readings on their wrists. But owing to a patent dispute with a company named Masimo and an import ban on models that offer this feature, the Cupertino-based company had to pull this capability after lengthy legal battles and an import ban handed down by the International Trade Commission The ban came into effect back in December of 2023, and despite a brief respite, Apple had to disable the blood oxygen features on the watches it sold following the trade restriction in the US. Apple has expressed disagreement with the charges leveled against it by Masimo, after the company filed two seprate lawsuits against the Apple Watch maker. Interestingly, Apple began working on a software-based workaround soon after the ITC ruling. It appears that the company was ready with an alternative route, but it's surprising that Apple took over a year and a half to enable it.

Sure, Nvidia's (NVDA) Hot But Bargain-Hunting Investors Should Consider This Overlooked Semiconductor Name

At this point, there is no point in debating the utter dominance of Nvidia (NVDA). After a rough start in 2025, NVDA stock has found its rhythm once again, returning stakeholders more than 35%. I wouldn't call it life-changing performance per se. However, the freight train appears unstoppable. What's more, Nvidia is scheduled to release its earnings report on Aug. 27 after the market close. Undoubtedly, it's going to be the disclosure that everyone on the Street will anxiously consume. Obviously, Nvidia represents one of the elite names in artificial intelligence. It's also inking major deals for its most advanced AI chips. Further, analysts overwhelmingly rate NVDA stock as a consensus Strong Buy.

Should You Buy BLSH Stock? Stop Missing Market Moves: Get the FREE Barchart Brief – your midday dose of stock movers, trending sectors, and actionable trade ideas, delivered right to your inbox. Sign Up Now! The list of fundamental strengths goes on and on. So, despite what many might consider sky-high multiples, the argument is that NVDA stock is undervalued relative to its true potential. However, this argument presupposes that the market hasn't already priced in all the good stuff into NVDA. It would be an extraordinary claim that financial publication readers recognize Nvidia's true value but the rest of the market does not. That doesn't mean that NVDA stock won't swing higher — but for short-term traders and even long-term investors, there might be better ideas available. Let's consider the first-order principles of market demand. In the trailing 10 weeks (including this one), the market voted to buy NVDA stock seven times and sell three times. During this period, NVDA enjoyed an upward trajectory. For brevity, we can label this sequence as 7-3-U. At first, it might sound strange to compress NVDA's price action into a simple binary code. But now we have a falsifiable sequence by which we can extract forward probabilities through the study of past analogs. Long story short, when the 7-3-U sequence flashes, there's only a 52.17% chance that the following week's price action will rise. The issue that I have is that the baseline probability is 59.25%. This is just descriptive math. I'm not saying I hate NVDA stock. I'm just saying that this particular hand at the blackjack table — the 7-3-U sequence — is unfavorable to the bullish speculator. As an alternative, if you want to take a bet on a semiconductor specialist, investors may consider ChipMOS Technologies (IMOS). Giving Three-Day Loser IMOS Stock a Chance Based in Taiwan, ChipMOS Technologies specializes in semiconductor backend services — notably testing, assembly, packaging, bumping and wafer-level chip scale packaging solutions. Its services cater to a broad range of integrated circuits, including memory, mixed-signal, display driver ICs and ASICs. Of course, Nvidia and ChipMOS are not related, other than the fact that both enterprises are under the broad semiconductor umbrella. Nvidia is a chipmaker, specifically a fabless semiconductor company. In contrast, ChipMOS is a semiconductor backend services provider: it takes chips that have already been fabricated and tests and packages them, along with other assembly services. But the point of bringing up ChipMOS is not the business itself but the potential discount in IMOS stock. During the midweek session, IMOS stock dropped nearly 5%. Since the start of the year, it's down roughly 12%. In fact, I selected IMOS in part because it was included in Barchart's screener Three Day Losers. Obviously, finding losers is easy business. Finding ones that can recover is the hard part. However, in the case of IMOS stock, I believe a comeback is possible based on a key quantitative signal. Using the discrete-state analysis mentioned earlier for NVDA, in the trailing 10 weeks, the market voted to buy IMOS stock three times and sell seven times. During this period, the security suffered a downward trajectory. We can call this a 3-7-D sequence: Now that we have a falsifiable signal, we can look back to the end of the dataset (January 2019) to discover how the market responded to the sequence. The name of the game is to only act when the signal can reliably beat the baseline probability or what is effectively our null hypothesis — the assumption of no mispricing. As it turns out, the chance that a long position in IMOS stock may rise on any given week is exactly 50%, a coin toss. However, our alternative hypothesis is that, because of the 3-7-D sequence, a favorable mispricing exists. Indeed, past analogs suggest that the odds of upside stand at 60.87%. Assuming the positive pathway, over the next three weeks, IMOS stock could potentially hit $17.41, making it an intriguing buy-the-dip prospect. Running a Test on Empirical Validity Anytime you're dealing with a market signal, you want to see if it's distinguishable from random noise. Therefore, I ran a one-tailed binomial test on the 3-7-D sequence, which spits out a p-value of 0.2024. Essentially, this means that there's a 20.24% chance that the implications of the signal could materialize randomly as opposed to intentionally. Admittedly, that's a bit on the high side. However, you must also consider that the stock market is an open and entropic system. In other words, exogenous factors can easily enter the paradigm and disrupt the market's trajectory. There's no model that can consistently predict such impacts. At the same time, the math that I'm running is descriptive. Stated differently, the forecasts are based on what has happened in like-to-like conditions. In traditional Western models, the math is prescriptive, which focuses on what should happen. I believe the descriptive approach and forward extrapolation are much more faithful to actual market dynamics. But bottom line, you should consider the model with which you're most comfortable.
