- Nvidia’s RTX 5000 Super updates are now rumored to arrive in Q3 2026
- An earlier rumor that they were canceled has been denied by three separate sources
- These GPUs still remain a rumor in themselves, with no concrete confirmation or information released to graphics card manufacturers
Nvidia’s RTX 5000 Super updates haven’t been cancelled, but they won’t be here until much later in 2026 than previously expected – or at least that’s the latest rumor about these Blackwell graphics cards.
VideoCardz has flagged that Taiwanese tech website Benchlife is claiming that the rumored RTX 5080 Super and RTX 5070 Ti Super plus RTX 5070 Super are not canceled as the latest word from the grapevine suggested, but merely delayed (in addition to earlier rumors of a Q1 2026 launch).
Benchlife believes that these Super GPUs are now destined to launch in the third quarter of 2026 – or maybe late in the second quarter at a pinch, though that remains guesswork. As the tech site notes, Nvidia hasn’t even mentioned these graphics cards to its manufacturing partners, so this is still the early stages for the products.
As the site further notes, given that there has been no official talk about these GPUs, even their existence remains a mere rumour.
HKEPC has also chimed in here with clear words (adding spice to all this) from a source at a third-party graphics card manufacturer that Nvidia has said that the RTX 5000 Super updates have not been cancelled, but have been postponed until Q3 2026 (or sometime between July and late September). This report directly calls out Uniko’s hardware — the source of the cancellation rumor — as being wrong.
This comes on top of MegaSizeGPU, a well-known leak on X that says exactly the same thing, namely that the RTX 5000 Super graphics cards are not canned, but delayed to Q3 2026.
Analysis: RTX 6000 lag too?
So that’s three separate reports that the cancellation rumor is wrong, insisting that Nvidia has chosen to delay these graphics cards, not throw them out completely. And of course it makes sense – Nvidia always puts a supercharged spin on a GPU series at some point mid-life as the reigning generation, so it would be very strange if this did not happen with Blackwell.
Especially since another theory – raised by MegaSizeGPU – is that Nvidia is in no rush to get its next-gen GeForce graphics cards out, and that RTX 6000 models may not be out in 2027 as expected, but could be pushed to 2028.
If that’s the case, there’s plenty of breathing room for an RTX 5000 Super update late next year – of course, getting some fresh deals out there in GPU land would be pretty much mandatory if there’s going to be a really long wait for the RTX 6000.
It’s entirely possible that while Uniko’s Hardware may have gotten the wrong end of the stick with its cancellation rumor, the reasoning behind it – namely the scarcity of the necessary GDDR7 video RAM (3GB modules which are supposed to be used in the Super GPUs) – could still be on the money, and perhaps the reason for the delay.
Either way, a pretty clear picture is now painted that the earliest arrival of the RTX 5000 Super GPUs is July 2026 (or maybe June with a real push), or possibly later. Which still means that those who might have put off buying an Nvidia GPU now, believing that new Super graphics cards are just around the corner, will be rethinking their purchasing strategy. In short, Black Friday can be a great time to get a solid deal on an Nvidia graphics card.
