Nvidia RTX 50 SUPER GPUs may arrive sooner than you think — even before CES 2026
According to news outlet TweakTown, sources claim the Nvidia GeForce RTX 50 Super series is set to launch in Q4 2025, or sometime during the holiday season. This means we could see an RTX 5080 SUPER, 5070 Ti SUPER and 5070 SUPER arrive before their expected announcement during CES 2026.
This puts the release windows between October and December, despite CES 2026 kicking off at the start of January 2026. Team Green's SUPER models generally launch around 12 months after the release of the base models, so this launch window does line up.
However, at under 12 months, it would be the earliest launch of an RTX SUPER GPU, seeing as the RTX 5080 launched on January 30, while the RTX 5070 Ti was released in February and the RTX 5070 came to shelves in early March.
If accurate, we'll see stronger RTX 50 SUPER cards before the end of the year, with the RTX 5080 SUPER expected to be the first to arrive. This also falls in line with a previous rumor suggesting RTX 5080 SUPER and 5070 SUPER GPUs would arrive in 2025, as per Moore's Law is Dead.
Thanks to reliable leaker Kopite7kimi, we have a hint of the rumored specs the RTX 5080, 5070 Ti and 5070 SUPER will deliver. While there's an expected increase in CUDA Cores (only with the RTX 5070 SUPER) and TGP, the real draw is the boost in video memory (VRAM).
One general complaint in Nvidia's latest graphics cards is that they lack enough VRAM, especially when it comes to the 12GB GDDR7 VRAM in the RTX 5070. However, the SUPER series is expected to deliver a big jump in video memory,

Here's a look at the rumored specs of the RTX 5080, 5070 Ti and 5070 SUPER, and how much of a boost these GPUs offer over the base RTX 50-series counterparts.

This would allow more room for higher resolutions (like 4K) in demanding AAA titles, path tracing and more, seeing as Cyberpunk 2077 with path tracing in overdrive mode can push 16GB.
Pricing is still up in the air, although the previous RTX 40 SUPER series launched at a cheaper price than their base alternatives, so hopefully, Nvidia follows that tradition. That said, seeing as the price of RTX 50-series GPUs has gone beyond MSRP, and with the rumored release date coming soon, this may not be the case.
We'll know more closer to the RTX 50 SUPER series launch date, but for now, check out our thoughts on the RTX 5060 Ti.

Stock Index Futures Gain on Strong Earnings and Fed Rate-Cut Bets
September S&P 500 E-Mini futures (ESU25) are up +0.24%, and September Nasdaq 100 E-Mini futures (NQU25) are up +0.30% this morning, extending a rebound driven by bets on Federal Reserve interest rate cuts and solid corporate earnings. Palantir Technologies (PLTR) was the latest company to impress Wall Street with its quarterly results. Shares of the data analysis software firm climbed over +5% in pre-market trading after it posted upbeat Q2 results and raised its full-year guidance. More News from Barchart Options Traders Expected Palantir Stock's Tamest Earnings Reaction in a Year. Did They Get It Right?

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! In yesterday's trading session, Wall Street's main stock indexes closed sharply higher. The Magnificent Seven stocks advanced, with Nvidia (NVDA) climbing over +3% to lead gainers in the Dow and Alphabet (GOOGL) rising more than +3%. Also, chip stocks gained ground, with Broadcom (AVGO) and KLA Corp. (KLAC) rising over +3%. In addition, IDEXX Laboratories (IDXX) soared more than +27% and was the top percentage gainer on the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 after the company posted upbeat Q2 results and raised its full-year guidance. On the bearish side, ON Semiconductor (ON) plunged over -15% and was the top percentage loser on the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 after the chipmaker provided a weaker-than-expected Q3 adjusted gross margin forecast. Economic data released on Monday showed that U.S. factory orders fell -4.8% m/m in June, slightly better than expectations of a -4.9% m/m decline. Still, that marked the largest decline in more than 5 years. 'This week is a quiet one on the economic calendar, so traders may be taking their cues from earnings, along with any new tariff and trade developments,' said Chris Larkin at E*Trade from Morgan Stanley. Larkin also noted that a key question now is whether traders will interpret any signs of economic weakness as a bearish signal for markets, or as a catalyst for the Fed to resume interest rate cuts. San Francisco Fed President Mary Daly said on Monday that the time for rate cuts is approaching amid growing signs of labor market weakness and the absence of persistent tariff-driven inflation, according to Reuters. Meanwhile, U.S. rate futures have priced in an 88.1% chance of a 25 basis point rate cut and an 11.9% chance of no rate change at the conclusion of the Fed's September meeting. Second-quarter corporate earnings season rolls on, with investors awaiting fresh reports from high-profile companies today, including Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), Caterpillar (CAT), Amgen (AMGN), Arista Networks (ANET), Pfizer (PFE), and Duke Energy (DUK). According to Bloomberg Intelligence, S&P 500 companies are on track to post a 9.1% increase in Q2 profits from a year earlier, well above analysts' forecast of 2.8%. On the economic data front, investors will closely monitor the U.S. ISM Non-Manufacturing PMI and S&P Global Services PMI, set to be released in a couple of hours. Economists expect the July ISM services index to be 51.5 and the S&P Global services PMI to be 55.2, compared to the previous values of 50.8 and 52.9, respectively. U.S. Trade Balance data will also be released today. Economists anticipate the trade deficit will narrow to -$62.60 billion in June from -$71.50 billion in May. In the bond market, the yield on the benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury note is at 4.212%, up +0.05%. The Euro Stoxx 50 Index is up +0.10% this morning, buoyed by a wave of solid corporate earnings reports. Food and beverage stocks gained ground on Tuesday. A survey released on Tuesday showed that business activity in the Eurozone expanded at a slightly quicker pace in July compared to June, though overall growth remained subdued as demand cooled. Meanwhile, an EU official stated on Tuesday that the 15% tariff applied to European Union goods entering the U.S. is all-inclusive. The 15% rate covers all goods, except for steel and aluminium, the official said. Tariffs on pharmaceuticals and semiconductors currently stand at zero, but if and when they increase following the U.S. 232 investigations, the rate will also be capped at 15%. Separately, European Commission trade chief Maros Sefcovic said on Tuesday that he was in discussions with U.S. officials Howard Lutnick and Jamieson Greer to implement the framework trade deal agreed upon in July. 'The work continues in a constructive spirit,' said Sefcovic. In corporate news, BP Plc ( rose over +2% after the oil giant reported better-than-expected Q2 profit and announced a share buyback. Also, Diageo Plc ( climbed more than +6% after the world's biggest spirits maker projected flat sales for 2026 despite the impact from tariffs and raised its cost-savings target. In addition, Infineon Technologies AG ( gained over +5% on strong quarterly results. Eurozone's Composite PMI, Eurozone's Services PMI, and Eurozone's PPI data were released today. Eurozone's July Composite PMI came in at 50.9, weaker than expectations of 51.0. Eurozone's July Services PMI stood at 51.0, weaker than expectations of 51.2. Eurozone's June PPI has been reported at +0.8% m/m and +0.6% y/y, compared to expectations of +0.9% m/m and +0.5% y/y. Asian stock markets today settled in the green. China's Shanghai Composite Index (SHCOMP) closed up +0.96%, and Japan's Nikkei 225 Stock Index (NIK) closed up +0.64%. China's Shanghai Composite Index closed higher today as investors digested strong economic data from the country. Bank stocks outperformed on Tuesday. A private sector survey released on Tuesday showed that China's services activity grew at the quickest pace in 14 months in July, driven by robust demand, including the first expansion in new export business in three months. The reading was more upbeat than a competing official survey. Goldman Sachs analysts said in a note that the notable divergence between the official and private surveys suggests 'substantial variation across services sub-industries.' Meanwhile, investors are closely watching whether the U.S.-China tariff truce will be extended after officials from both countries wrapped up their latest round of trade talks in Stockholm last week, with U.S. President Donald Trump set to make the final decision. Analysts anticipate some consolidation in Chinese equities over the coming weeks, given ongoing uncertainty over U.S.-China tariff rates and a challenging domestic business environment. Investors now await Chinese trade and inflation data due later this week for further insight into the economy's health. In corporate news, Lenovo Group rose over +5% in Hong Kong after JPMorgan lifted its profit forecast for the company this year by 3%, citing strength in its core business. The Chinese July Caixin Services PMI stood at 52.6, stronger than expectations of 50.4. Japan's Nikkei 225 Stock Index closed higher today, tracking overnight gains on Wall Street. Machinery stocks led the gains on Tuesday. A private sector survey released on Tuesday showed that Japan's service sector activity expanded at the fastest rate in five months in July, supported by strong domestic demand that offset a steep decline in export orders and softer tourist arrivals. Meanwhile, minutes of the Bank of Japan's June meeting revealed that some BOJ officials saw scope to resume interest rate hikes once trade tensions stemming from U.S. tariffs subsided, indicating that Tokyo's recent trade agreement with Washington removed a key hurdle to further tightening. 'Given high uncertainties, the BOJ would likely pause rate hikes for the time being. But it also must respond flexibly and nimbly, and return to a rate-hike phase depending on U.S. policy developments,' one member was quoted as saying. Japan's top tariff negotiator, Ryosei Akazawa, said he planned to travel to Washington starting Tuesday to push the U.S. to have President Donald Trump sign an executive order implementing the agreed 15% tariff rate on automobiles. In other news, an auction of 10-year Japanese government notes on Tuesday attracted weaker demand after disappointing U.S. employment data last week sparked speculation of an early Fed rate cut, weighing on yields. In corporate news, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries gained more than +5% after Australian Deputy Prime Minister Richard Marles announced that the heavy machinery manufacturer would lead Australia's new $6.5 billion navy frigate program. The Nikkei Volatility Index, which takes into account the implied volatility of Nikkei 225 options, closed down -9.63% to 23.66. The Japanese July au Jibun Bank Services PMI arrived at 53.6, stronger than expectations of 53.5.

Taiwan Arrests Six in Probe of TSMC Chip Technology Leak
(Bloomberg) -- Taiwan prosecutors arrested six people suspected of stealing trade secrets from Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., opening an investigation into a potential breach of national security involving a global tech industry linchpin. PATH Train Service Resumes After Fire at Jersey City Station Mayor Asked to Explain $1.4 Billion of Wasted Johannesburg Funds Chicago Curbs Hiring, Travel to Tackle $1 Billion Budget Hole Seeking Relief From Heat and Smog, Cities Follow the Wind The chipmaker to Nvidia Corp. reported a number of former and current staff to authorities on suspicion they illegally obtained core technology. A total of six people were arrested, with two posting bail and one released afterwards, said Taiwan High Prosecutors Office spokesman John Nieh. Prosecutors searched the homes of some staff between July 25 and July 28, the agency said in a statement. It's now trying to find out if data had been leaked to other parties. TSMC is the world's most advanced maker of semiconductors, from Nvidia AI accelerators to Apple Inc. iPhone processors. The case coincides with a quickening race by the likes of Meta Platforms Inc. and DeepSeek to develop artificial intelligence in the post-ChatGPT era, which requires billions of dollars in servers and datacenters. On Tuesday, the Nikkei reported that TSMC fired several employees suspected of trying to obtain critical information on 2-nanometer chip development. That next-generation semiconductor process is entering mass production in the second half of this year. Local investigators also searched the Taiwanese premises of Japanese supplier Tokyo Electron Ltd., the Financial Times reported. Company representatives declined to comment. TSMC has taken disciplinary action against personnel involved and initiated legal proceedings, the company said in a statement without elaborating. It conducted an internal investigation and identified the issue 'early,' the firm added in its statement. The case shines a spotlight on TSMC, one of the companies at the heart of the global infrastructure boom. Investment in chipmaking development is at an all-time high, as TSMC and closest rival Samsung Electronics Co. set aside more than $30 billion in annual capital expenditures, while US and Chinese companies vie to develop the most advanced technology. China's progress has stalled several generations behind TSMC, with Huawei Technologies Co. and Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp. now fabricating silicon at 7nm. In the US, Intel Corp. is at a more advanced stage. --With assistance from Mayumi Negishi, Peter Elstrom and Takashi Mochizuki.
