What if Nvidia launched a new RTX 50 in 2026? - Overclocking.com EN
According to several of our sources, Nvidia plans to release a new, very powerful RTX 50 in the third quarter of 2026.
Nvidia is reportedly planning to launch a new high-end RTX 50 series graphics card, positioned above the current RTX 5090 and potentially named RTX 50 Titan or 5090 Ti, targeted for the third quarter of 2026 based on multiple credible sources.
Summary
- The article Speculates on Nvidia launching a new RTX 50 series card in 2026, based on informal discussions at CES and a trip to Asia.
- During CES visits with brands, three contacts vaguely mentioned a new RTX for 2026; initially dismissed as references to Super variants, but later confirmed by different sources in Asia specifying a card above the current RTX 5090.
- Sources are described as direct, credible, and reliable, cultivated over years, not hearsay; five or six sources from different countries and companies provide a solid basis beyond typical rumors.
- Hesitation to publish stemmed from market tensions, rising memory chip prices, Nvidia's AI chip prioritization, sources' likely NDAs, and avoiding criticism similar to MLID's leaks.
- Decision to publish influenced by Nvidia's recent policy shifts, such as approving extreme custom cards (e.g., MSI Lightning Z, Asus) with unbridled BIOS from brands like MSI and Asus.
- Presence of Nvidia's Geforce VP at MSI's RTX 5090 Lightning Z launch at CES, expressing enthusiasm for high-wattage overclocking, seen as a positive signal.
- The new card's launch is targeted for the third quarter of 2026 ("Back to School"), with industrial processes (design, etc.) already underway; unrelated to Super cards, which are off the 2026 schedule.
- Expected in small batches, primarily as a Founders Edition (FE) version; no 100% certainty due to Nvidia's history of sudden changes.
- References a blurred January 2025 photo from another article hinting at an RTX 50 Titan.
