Nvidia may not be finished with delivering RTX 50-series GPUs after all, aside from the upcoming RTX 5060, as a new rumor suggests Team Green may have Super models coming down the pipeline.
We may see RTX 5080 Super and RTX 5070 Super GPUs coming as soon as this year, with 24GB and 18GB of GDDR7 VRAM, respectively. Plus, these new variants could deliver somewhere between 7% to 15% performance boosts compared to their RTX 5080 and RTX 5070 counterparts.
This comes from known leaker Moore's Law is Dead (via Techradar), with a source from a GPU partner claiming the cards have been in testing since last year. Nvidia has put the Super models "on hold," but the source now states that its "likely" we'll see upgraded RTX 5080 and 5070 graphics cards in 2025. You may like
Compared to their base models, with the RTX 5080 coming with 16GB VRAM and RTX 5070 with 12GB VRAM, the Super variants would offer major boosts in video memory, leading to handling more demanding PC games far better. If accurate, the RTX 5080 Super would have the same 24GB of VRAM as an RTX 5090 laptop GPU (the desktop GPU comes with 32GB).
Of course, as the leaker claims, none of these plans are set in stone, as these are only rumors for now. That said, an RTX 5080 Super with 24GB of video memory has been tipped since last year.
It wouldn't be a complete surprise if Nvidia does bring out RTX 5080 and RTX 5070 Super variants, as we've seen in the previous RTX 40-series era of GPUs. Offering higher video memory and CUDA cores, these GPUs are great options for those wanting better performance potential but not wanting to pay a higher price for next GPU-level up. Pricing is a key factor

One key factor that may throw off RTX 5080 and 5070 Supers arriving at all: price. As per the rumor, Nvidia stated the cards will be on hold until they sort out the pricing for the increased VRAM. With 24GB and 16GB of VRAM, these GPUs are sure to come with an increased price — possibly up to 20%, according to the leaker.

In case you missed it, if you're trying to find an RTX 5090, RTX 5080, RTX 5070 Ti or RTX 5070 right now at Nvidia's official asking price, it's not an easy task. If the Super models also fall prey to sky-high costs, then Nvidia may have a hard time getting these off shelves.
An increase in VRAM is always wanted, as the RTX 5060 Ti with 16GB of video memory has shown us (not many are going for the 8GB model, understandably). However, the price has to be worth added bonus, and considering how high third-party RTX 50-series GPUs are, Nvidia may shy away from bringing these out. Oh, and tariffs don't make the situation any better.
There is some good news, as the source believe Nvidia is looking at keeping the MSRP of the Super models the same as the RTX 5080 ($999) and RTX 5070 ($549) prices. So, more power for the same price. While unlikely, it would be great to see.
There's no official word on any RTX 5080 Super and RTX 5070 Super GPUs yet, to take this in with a pinch of salt. Still, seeing upgraded RTX 50-series GPUs down the line means more PC gamers will have a chance of nabbing one of Nvidia's latest graphics cards with even better performance.
Speaking of, find out how Nvidia's DLSS is a game-changer for PC gaming. More from Tom's Guide

Big Tech Is Back in S&P 500 Driver's Seat as Profit Engines Hum
The same technology giants that helped drag the S&P 500 to the brink of a bear market in April are giving the recovery in US equities some legs. Nvidia Corp. put a bow on a better-than-expected earnings season for Big Tech last week by delivering a strong outlook for revenue, despite US restrictions on sales of its chips in China. With Nvidia and Microsoft Corp. rallying back to the cusp of record highs, traders are betting the group is poised to lift the broader market.

What Wall Street might be missing on Nvidia
Decoding a public company's earnings report in the 24 hours after its release could be maddening. Here's why. A company that beats on sales and earnings estimates could see its stock pounded after one slip of the tongue from a CEO or CFO on the earnings call (which you can now listen in on with Yahoo Finance). Look at the 20% plunge Gap's (GAP) stock took on Friday after the company reported across-the-board beats but issued a tariff warning many should have seen coming. Gap CEO Richard Dickson made a compelling case on the state of the business on Yahoo Finance. A company that misses on sales and earnings estimates could see its stock price skyrocket as analysts and investors reason 'bad news' like this was 'priced into the stock' months ago. What was not priced in? The positive hype about future growth on the earnings call. Maddening. I have generally been on the side of the fence that says companies don't deserve passes for missed numbers or bad quarters that weren't properly guided. The numbers are the numbers. You assess them, crunch them, ponder them further, repeat this process 75 more times, and make a decision on the stock. It's not rocket science. To that end, I don't believe AI chip darling Nvidia (NVDA) fully deserves the free pass it got this week for a confusing quarter that was un-Nvidia-like. It reported adjusted earnings per share of $0.81, compared to estimates of $0.93, though the company posted a second (adjusted) EPS figure of $0.96 after excluding "H20 charge and related tax impact." In other words, the $0.96 figure represents what Nvidia would've made had its China business not gone poof courtesy of Trump's chip export control — a reality that does not exist. Nvidia has earned a legion of fans on Wall Street through years of strong execution and fundamentals. Analysts have been quick to 'exclude' the fall of its once lucrative China business. Every single research note after the results was chock-full of "let's blow more smoke for the Nvidia bulls." Price targets were hiked. All the Nvidia positives were bolded in the PDF docs. Sure, CEO Jensen Huang made a point to mention on the earnings call that demand for its AI chips remains strong. Profit margins will likely trend back to historically normal levels later this year, CFO Colette Kress said. But in my view, the earnings still fell far short of a consensus figure — and one that investors have little visibility into this round. The uncertainty of the China impact led analysts to estimate figures that included and didn't include the H20 loss. What made up the final consensus estimate? It's anybody's guess. And how do you ignore a giant chunk of Nvidia's sales in China simply vanishing? How do you completely wipe that out of your forecast model and think earnings power will still be the same? That loss will put pressure on all other areas of the operation to accelerate in the near term, medium term, and long term. I dig what Jensen said about the potential for robotics. I'm just not sure it's going to drastically drive Nvidia's business in the next eight quarters like the China business would have. Am I off the mark here? Should one only look at the many positives of Nvidia all the time? I am curious. Get at me on X @BrianSozzi. I always enjoy hearing new perspectives. I want to conclude by saying I don't hate Nvidia. It's more of a challenge to you to always question the "consensus" view on a stock. Brian Sozzi is Yahoo Finance's Executive Editor. Follow Sozzi on X @BrianSozzi, Instagram, and LinkedIn.

From Startup to State Asset? Former Hedge Fund Manager Warns Elon Musk's Dojo Is Quietly Becoming National Infrastructure
BALTIMORE, June 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — It started as a Tesla project. But according to former hedge fund manager Enrique Abeyta's recent briefing, Elon Musk's Dojo may soon be functioning as critical U.S. infrastructure — without anyone officially calling it that. What began as an AI chip built to replace Nvidia has quickly evolved into a full-stack platform capable of running autonomous vehicles, training machine vision systems, and powering physical AI across industries. 'This is how it happens,' Abeyta says. 'You build something private… and then one day, the government needs it more than anyone else.' The Private Chip That's Becoming Public Policy Dojo was born out of necessity — after Nvidia couldn't meet Musk's needs. The result? A custom chip now reported to be 6x more powerful than Nvidia's best-selling model, optimized for training AI on real-world video at massive scale. Every day, Tesla's fleet feeds Dojo with 160 billion frames of visual data, helping the system learn how to operate in the physical world — without human help. On June 1st, Tesla is expected to launch a robotaxi with no steering wheel, no pedals, and no fallback to human control. AI Without a Kill Switch Dojo's value isn't just speed — it's autonomy. Abeyta believes that's what makes it so appealing to government agencies quietly searching for domestic alternatives to foreign tech dependence. 'Once you control the AI, the chips, the vehicles, and the data — you're not a car company anymore,' he says. 'You're a national asset in everything but name.' And the signs are already here: According to internal reports, one of Musk's key Dojo partners is 'expecting to receive billions of dollars from the Trump administration. ' That aligns with a recent executive order from President Trump, aimed at 'removing barriers to American AI innovation.' The Tesla Effect: When Platforms Become Policy This wouldn't be the first time Musk built something the government eventually leaned on — from satellites to EV infrastructure. But Abeyta says Dojo is different . It's not about energy or communication. It's about machine-level control over physical environments — and that means its future may not be up to Tesla at all.
