Nvidia RTX 50 Super GPUs delayed by costly GDDR7 memory

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

Nvidia's upcoming RTX 50 Super series GPUs are reportedly on hold due to the high cost of 3GB GDDR7 memory chips. These new memory modules are said to cost two to three times more than the 2GB variants used in current-generation cards. This price increase could lead to significantly higher retail prices for the RTX 50 Super GPUs, potentially exceeding Nvidia's target MSRP or making them unprofitable for board partners to produce.

IMPACT Potential increase in AI GPU costs due to memory pricing challenges.

RANK_REASON This is a report about a product launch delay due to component costs, not a new product release from a frontier lab.

    Nvidia RTX 50 Super GPUs are reportedly ready, but stuck in limbo due to excessive GDDR7 pricing — 3GB GDDR7 module costs triple the price of 2GB

    The 3GB GDDR7 chips that the RTX 50 Super GPUs will use reportedly cost twice to thrice as much as the 2GB chips found on vanilla RTX 50-series graphics cards. This would likely push the retail price of these GPUs way beyond Nvidia's target MSRP.
