NVIDIA's new GeForce RTX 5080 SUPER with 24GB and RTX 5070 SUPER with 18GB have been rumored for a while, with the new SUPER variants prepped many months ago, and will increase the heat against RDNA 4 later this year.

In a new video from leaker Moore's Law is Dead, we're hearing from AIBs that they've had RTX 5080 SUPER 24GB and RTX 5070 SUPER 18GB graphics cards ready in labs since 2024. MLID's source explains: "We've (AIB) had 24GB 5080 and 18GB 5070 configurations in labs since 2024. In fact, those leaked 5080 boxes from a few months ago with "24GB" on them were connected to those projects. Basically, NVIDIA's been telling us to "put those variants on hold" while they wait for high capacity GDDR7 to become cheap enough to be worth it for gamers".

"However, this week we were told that the sUPER series is likely happening in 2025, and that we should be prepared to finalize highly overclocked variants of GB203 and GB205 as the 5080 SUPER 24GB and 5070 SUPER 18GB".

MLID's source continued: "If this plan moves forward (it's NOT 100%), I'd estimate SUPER cards will be 7-15% faster than their non-SUPER brothers. Pricing is still undetermined, but it kinda sounds like they'll either keep the same prices or maginally increase them. RDNA 4 has them spooked".

We've got Computex 2025 kicking off in two weeks' time, where we might hear some rumbles from AIBs on the ground about the new RTX 5080 SUPER 24GB and RTX 5070 SUPER 18GB... not long to go now.
