Key Takeaways:
- Major VRAM Upgrades: RTX 5070 Super and Ti Super may offer up to 50% more VRAM using rare 3 GB GDDR7 modules.
- Minimal Core Increases: Only the RTX 5070 Super sees a slight bump in CUDA cores; Ti Super retains the same count.
- Pricing Will Be Key: Without major architectural improvements, higher prices could deter buyers despite the memory bump.
Rumors are heating up about Nvidia’s upcoming RTX 5070 Super and RTX 5070 Ti Super graphics cards—months ahead of their expected launch. While both models are still relatively new in their standard form, reliable leaker Kopite7kimi has unveiled key details about the “Super” variants. If accurate, the most significant upgrades will be in memory—offering up to 50% more VRAM.
18 GB for RTX 5070 Super: More Memory, Modest Core Bump
The RTX 5070 Super is rumored to feature 6,400 CUDA cores, up from the original’s 6,144—a modest 4% increase. However, the standout enhancement is the jump from 12 GB to 18 GB of GDDR7 VRAM. This raises eyebrows since the current design uses 2 GB modules on a 192-bit bus, making 18 GB seem technically challenging. The answer may lie in the adoption of rare 3 GB memory chips, as seen in RTX 5090 laptop GPUs.
Power consumption is also getting a slight boost, rising from 250 W to 275 W, likely to accommodate the additional VRAM and higher clock speeds.

RTX 5070 Ti Super: Same Core Count, Just More VRAM
Interestingly, the RTX 5070 Ti Super is rumored to maintain the same number of CUDA cores as its predecessor, even though the current Ti variant uses a cut-down GB203 GPU. Instead, the upgrade is purely in VRAM—jumping from 16 GB to 24 GB using 3 GB modules. A power bump to 350 W is also expected, suggesting Nvidia may push clock speeds to differentiate this model.
Pricing Concerns Linger Despite Hardware Gains
While more VRAM is generally seen as a win for gamers and content creators alike, the lack of significant core or architectural upgrades may disappoint some fans. If the Super cards come with steeper price tags—something Nvidia partners are notorious for—many may question their value compared to existing RTX 5070 and 5070 Ti models.
