48 GB VRAM are possible using 3 GB GDDR7 memory chips, instead of the current 2 GB ones, but a consumer priced 48 GB VRAM version would compete with the much more profitable RTX PRO 5000. I don't see it happening yet ["late 2026"]. But NVIDIA also released a 96 GB VRAM RTX PRO 6000, which was unexpected. Still, not sure I'd be interested in a 48 GB VRAM GPU, when the power consumption is 575W+. I know one probably could reduce the TDP by -30% to -50%, but ideally I'd like to see a MaxQ version (tho this would be unusual for a consumer GPU?) or the same chip using the next TSMC node shrink / N3P (the same arch on a full node shrink is a rare occurrence tho). But 48 GB VRAM per GPU is where it starts to get interesting for LLM self-hosting.

I can't imagine the day I am more looking forward to integrated graphics advancements (with Intel and AMD) than new graphics card releases.  But alas..

Quote from: opckieran on February 09, 2026, 17:17:24I could see nVidia launch a $3499 5090Ti with 48GB GDDR7.

This makes sense as a pro-sumer AI GPU, to fill the gap between the Gaming GPUs and their 96gb Enterprise cards..

A market for consumers that need the high power and higher VRAM for bigger models without having to pay Enterprise prices.. a market currently only filled by the DXG Spark in the same price bracket.

There'd definitely be a market for it too: top gaming SKU, large VRAM capacity and high speed for pro/AI tasks. DGX Spark is a neat niche: huge VRAM capacity but limited processing speed due to thermal constraints, core count, and limited memory speed and bus width. Also, no x86 limits DGX compatibility.

QuoteFor starters, the handful of extra CUDA cores might not translate into much of a performance uplift, and the extra power requirements might result in melted components
10% more cores gonna result in 3-5% more perf and 10% higher power consumption. 575W * 1.1 = 632.5W. Really interesting how far they can push the GPU power consumption. Make the connector even smaller and push 1000W through it. *grabs popcorn*

A new report from Overclockers says Nvidia could launch a new graphics card this year. The source explicitly stated it is not related to the RTX 50 Super lineup, which was widely believed to launch in 2026.
