Samsung’s 3GB GDDR7 Memory Modules Could Enhance Upcoming NVIDIA RTX 50 Super GPUs

Samsung’s 3GB GDDR7 memory modules have made their debut on sale in China, hinting at an exciting upgrade for future NVIDIA graphics cards. While the 3GB modules have been in existence, they were previously found exclusively in the Laptop RTX 5090. Now, with their increasing availability, it seems NVIDIA could incorporate these modules into their upcoming ‘Super’ series GPUs.

The RTX 50 series, across both laptop and desktop variants, primarily uses 2GB GDDR7 memory modules, except for the RTX 5090 laptop, which is the first to deploy 3GB chips.

What makes this release even more interesting is the 3GB modules being spotted on a Chinese retailer’s website, as pointed out by @RubyRapids. The 3GB modules are identified as K4VCF325ZC-SC28, while the 2GB variants are K4VAF325ZC. Notably, the 3GB modules also appear in NVIDIA’s official RTX 5090 video, further suggesting that NVIDIA may be gearing up to upgrade the RTX 5090 with these more powerful modules. With the highest VRAM capacity in the GeForce lineup, the transition from 2GB to 3GB could pave the way for a 48GB version of the RTX 5090.

However, the real excitement lies in the potential of NVIDIA upgrading the VRAM capacity of other slower RTX 50 GPUs, such as the RTX 5080, RTX 5070, and RTX 5060. Specifically, the RTX 5060 could significantly benefit from the jump from 8GB to 12GB VRAM, which would certainly improve its appeal. The RTX 5060 Ti could also see similar enhancements. According to recent reports, there are strong indications that NVIDIA plans to release a 24GB VRAM version of the RTX 5080 ‘Super’ later this year, an upgrade of 8GB over the original model. Likewise, the RTX 5070 could sport 18GB GDDR7 memory, and the RTX 5070 Ti might feature 24GB with the 3GB modules. While nothing is confirmed yet, the chances of such upgrades for the ‘Super’ series seem high.
