US EditionThe Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 Super Is Probably Dead, Thanks to AI
Nvidia prioritizes AI chip production amid a global memory shortage, delaying gaming GPU launches and impacting supply and pricing for PC builders worldwide.
- At CES 2026, reports said Nvidia shelved the RTX 5080 Super and scaled back RTX 50-series production, citing memory constraints, as Nvidia told PCMag and IGN.
- With AI and data-center industry demand, company managers blamed a global memory crunch and shifted focus, Nvidia reported, affecting RTX 5080 Super's release plans.
- Higher-End model prices have climbed with RTX 5070 Ti and above rising, some out of stock, while the Blackwell generation began over a year ago with the RTX 5090 and the RTX 5080 Super could have redeemed it.
- Mass production for the RTX 6000 series, originally planned for late 2027, may be delayed until 2028, and the memory shortage is expected to persist, so PC builders likely won’t see relief soon.
- AMD has been largely silent on new consumer GPUs since the Radeon RX 9060 in August 2025 and highlighted $16.6 billion in datacenter revenue last year, while both firms focus on software like DLSS 4.5 and FSR Redstone.

The Information reports that chip giant Nvidia is skipping a planned refresh of the 5000 series GPUs and delaying the next-gen 6000 series until 2027. With RAM in short supply and its own silicon essential to the AI boom, there simply isn't the capacity to get them on the shelves. — Read the rest The post Gamer GPUs delayed as Nvidia prioritizes AI appeared first on Boing Boing.
The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 Super Is Probably Dead, Thanks to AI
Nvidia Blackwell graphics cards launched more than a year ago, starting with the RTX 5090. And while this generation had a controversial launch, the RTX 5080 Super could have redeemed the generation. But that's probably not going to happen.Thanks to its immense success with AI hardware, it seems like Nvidia has both scaled back production of existing 50-series cards and cancelled its mid-generation refresh of Blackwell, according to a report fro…
Nvidia has reportedly buried the RTX 50 SUPER and postponed the RTX 60 from 2027 to 2028. This is a way to manage the RAM crisis and capitalize on the success of its AI chips, at the expense of the gaming sector.
There are many indications that NVIDIA won't be releasing new graphics cards anytime soon. A growing number of reports suggest a delay due to memory shortages and a prioritization of artificial intelligence. This is a significant cause for concern, especially considering the limited availability of the latest components. It's no wonder, then, that gamers feel left out in the cold. NVIDIA is changing its approach. Gamers must fend for themselves.…
Nvidia's installation in Artificial Intelligence chips has worked for the company, with its most valuable company status in the world. With the gambling area becoming a part of the company's increasingly smaller part, says The Information site now that the company will have adopted plans to launch a new generation of graphic cards in 2026. As the publication noted, Nvidia was expected to use Las Vegas's Electronics Show (CES) consumer in January…
