After weeks of rumors swirling online, Nvidia has confirmed that it will not be announcing any new GeForce GPUs during its CES 2025 live stream. The statement, shared via the company’s GeForce X account ahead of tonight’s “GeForce On” community update, ends speculation around a potential RTX 5000 Super series reveal.
The post, which promoted the 9 p.m. PT stream on Nvidia’s Twitch and YouTube channels, stated that there would be “no new GPUs.” The blunt wording appears aimed at shutting down ongoing speculation that Nvidia was preparing to unveil updated “Super” versions of its current-generation Blackwell gaming cards.
The rumors pointed to the RTX 5000 Super lineup as a response to one of the loudest complaints from enthusiasts: the memory capacity of the initial RTX 5000 cards. Leaks dating back to April 2024 suggested the Super variants could deliver as much as a 50% increase in VRAM compared with their standard counterparts.
The situation changed significantly over the course of 2024. Surging demand for AI data center hardware led to a supply crunch, with high-bandwidth memory becoming increasingly scarce. That shortage affected the rollout of GDDR7 memory for consumer GPUs. Following earlier reports of delays, rumors in November claimed the RTX 5000 Super lineup had been canceled, a view now reinforced by Nvidia’s lack of announcements at CES.
While Nvidia won’t be introducing new hardware, it has teased “plenty of GeForce-related announcements” focused on software, gaming, and partner products. The centerpiece is expected to be the official introduction of DLSS 4.5, the latest update to its Deep Learning Super Sampling technology.
Reports suggest DLSS 4.5 will feature a more sophisticated AI model trained on a much larger dataset. The expected gains include improved temporal stability, reduced ghosting, and cleaner anti-aliasing in fast-motion scenarios compared to DLSS 4.
Dynamic Multi Frame Generation is rumored to let DLSS vary how many frames it generates between rendered frames, rather than using a fixed multiplier. Reports suggest this could enable 3x to 6x framerate gains depending on scene complexity and headroom.
Nvidia is expected to take a broad approach with DLSS 4.5, making the core update available across existing hardware going back to the RTX 2000 series. At the same time, reports suggest the highest-end Dynamic 6x Frame Generation mode will debut as an RTX 5000 exclusive feature in Spring 2026, preserving a key differentiator for flagship cards.
The memory crunch may end up producing an unusual outcome. Rumors suggest Nvidia is considering bringing the RTX 3060 back into production to shore up the mainstream GPU market. Despite its age, the 2021 card still tops Steam’s hardware survey, and restarting it would highlight just how severe the component shortages have become. It would also neatly sidestep today’s “no new GPU” promise, since the RTX 3060 is anything but new.
