Nvidia's RTX 5000 Super could be cancelled or get pricier due to AI-induced GDDR7 woes — rumor claims 3 GB memory chips are now too valuable for consumer GPUs

Nvidia's rumored RTX 5000 Super series of GPUs may face cancellation or price hikes due to a shortage of 3 GB GDDR7 chips, which are now prioritized for AI applications. The scarcity of these chips could lead Nvidia to save them for higher-profit models like the RTX Pro 6000. While GDDR7 production is increasing, it's likely to be consumed by AI accelerators, potentially impacting consumer GPU availability. If the RTX 5000 Super cards do launch, they may come at high prices and sell out quickly, following the trend of limited stock and high MSRPs for modern graphics cards.
