Nvidia’s Super reveal might derail AMD’s RX 5000 debut at E3

Something super is coming…

Nvidia was curiously absent at this year’s Computex, failing to reveal anything more about its “Super” tease from earlier in May. That may mean that we’ll see what could be a new series of Nvidia RTX cards revealed at the E3 show in early June instead, potentially derailing the hype for AMD’s next-generation Navi RX 5000 GPUs.

AMD was the big talk of Computex this year with major announcements for new generations of CPUs and graphics cards which look set to shake up their respective industries. Nvidia has a history of trying to trump its distant competition with major launches, however, having previously released the GTX 1070 Ti shortly after AMD’s original Vega launch in 2017. Now Nvidia could do so again at E3 where we expect to learn more about AMD’s RX 5000 cards with the reveal of its new “Super” technology.

Although Nvidia hasn’t suggested beyond a short teaser video about what the Super tech might be, rumors of a new generation of refreshed RTX graphics cards have been building for a few months. Tweaktown’s sources claim that there will be new, Super versions of RTX 2060, 2070, and 2080 models. They’ll feature faster RAM, we’re told, and increased core clock speeds to raise performance by a small margin across the board.

Considering AMD’s upcoming RX 5000 cards are expected to offer a slight increase in performance over their Nvidia counterparts, this sounds like a move by the green team to stay competitive at a comparable price. If its new GPUs were in the same ballpark for price and performance as AMD’s new Navi cards, or even better in some cases, that could take the shine of AMD’s announcement.

Other speculation and rumors about the super cards from TechRadar suggests that these new cards could replace existing RTX cards, though the “Super” branding seems like an odd choice in that case. It could be that the Super cards will take over existing RTX pricing, while the first series of Nvidia’s Turing GPUs then see a price cut to undercut AMD’s new offerings while gradually being phased out.

Whatever the plan is, though, it’s set to hit its next phase at the upcoming E3 show, so we don’t have long to wait to find out.

AMD takes lead over Nvidia, but how long will it last?
An Asus RX 9070 XT TUF GPU.

While both AMD and Nvidia make some of the best graphics cards, pitting the two against each other usually reveals that Nvidia dominates the GPU market with an over 80% share. However, a new survey revealed that, at least in the recent weeks, many gamers preferred to go with AMD when buying a GPU. But how long will this surprising lead even last?

AMD’s RX 9070 XT beats Nvidia’s $1,000+ GPU, but there’s a catch
Fans on the RTX 5080.

AMD's RX 9070 XT hit the shelves last week, and the response has been largely positive. The GPU was expected to perform on around the same level as Nvidia's RTX 5070 Ti, making it capable of beating some of the best graphics cards. However, a known overclocker just managed to push the GPU to new heights, helping it beat Nvidia's $1,000+ RTX 5080.

Der8auer took the RX 9070 XT out for an extensive spin and achieved interesting results. Prior to launch, many thought the RX 9070 XT would rival the RTX 5070 at best, but now, we've seen it beating not just the RTX 5070 Ti but also the RTX 5080 in today's test. The catch? Not only did Der8auer use a premium card, but the GPU was also overclocked and undervolted.

AMD did it! Now we need to keep the pressure up for price cuts
Benchmark for the RX 9070 XT.

Well, look at that. AMD actually released a graphics cards that was competitive on price, performance, and features with Nvidia. And it managed to keep enough cards in stock for the launch that it wasn't immediately ruined by scalpers. Although that might seem like a low bar to reach, it's what passes for a success story for GPU launches in 2025, because Nvidia's has been one of the worst we've ever seen.

As exciting as it is that there's a new graphics card that's actually kind of good and worth paying money for, though, it's not time for AMD (or fans) to rest on their laurels. There's more to push for: most notably that prices should come down further.
The RX 9070 is still too expensive
