Are RTX 50 Super cards available at Unicorp right now?

Not confirmed in our catalog as of this writing — these are newly announced globally and Philippine retail stock is still rolling out. We are not going to quote you a price we cannot verify. Check the branch or the 3D PC Builder for the latest catalog, and in the meantime, the RTX 5060 8GB and RX 9060 XT 16GB already deliver strong value for 1080p and 1440p today.

Do I need to wait for the Super refresh before buying a GPU?

Only if you specifically need more than 16GB of VRAM for something like local AI work or heavy content creation at high resolutions. For regular 1080p or 1440p gaming, the RTX 5060 8GB and RX 9060 XT 16GB already cover the vast majority of games without any stutter from running low on memory. Waiting on a global GPU market that has already gone through three price increases this year rarely pays off.

Why does more VRAM matter on a graphics card?

VRAM holds the textures, models, and frame buffers your GPU needs while rendering. Run out, and the game does not just lower quality gracefully — frames stutter and load times spike as the system swaps data in and out of memory. Higher resolutions, ray tracing, and 4K textures all push VRAM demand up, which is why 24GB matters far more at 1440p and 4K than it does at 1080p.

Is the RTX 5060 vs RX 9060 XT comparison still relevant if Super cards are coming?

Yes — those two cards sit a tier below where the Super refresh lands, and they are what is actually in stock and verified today. Read our full RTX 5060 vs RX 9060 XT comparison for the complete breakdown of when the extra VRAM on the 9060 XT is worth the ₱9,500 premium over the 5060.

Who actually needs 24GB of VRAM?

Mostly content creators running heavy 4K timelines, and anyone doing local AI work — running larger language models or image generation on their own PC instead of the cloud. For regular gaming, even at 1440p, 16GB already covers almost everything releasing in 2026. If local AI is your reason for wanting more VRAM, read our VRAM-by-tier guide for local AI builds.

Will GPU prices go down once the Super series launches?

Unlikely in the short term. GPU pricing in the Philippines has already moved up three times in 2026 because of the same memory shortage driving RAM and SSD prices — a new product tier launching does not fix a supply shortage. Read our GPU price increase guide for the full explanation of why, and check the 3D PC Builder for live pricing before you decide to wait or buy.

RTX 50 Super Series Philippines 2026: Is the Extra VRAM Worth the Upgrade?

By Unicorp Team•September 23, 2026

Binigyan ng NVIDIA ng malaking VRAM bump ang RTX 50 Super lineup — 18GB at 24GB na ngayon sa mas mataas na tiers. Hindi pa ito confirmed sa Unicorp catalog, kaya tinitingnan namin kung sino talaga ang kailangan ng extra memory, at kung ano na ang may verified stock ngayon.

Key Takeaways

The RTX 50 Super refresh is mostly a VRAM story: RTX 5070 Super goes 12GB to 18GB, RTX 5070 Ti Super and RTX 5080 Super both land at 24GB.
Not confirmed in our catalog yet as of this writing — Philippine retail stock is still rolling out globally, kaya hindi kami magbibigay ng price na hindi pa namin ma-verify.
For most 1080p and 1440p gamers, what already has stock today already solves the VRAM question: RTX 5060 8GB at ₱22,999, RX 9060 XT 16GB at ₱32,499.
24GB matters most for content creators at heavy timelines and for local AI work — not for regular gaming, even at 1440p.

NVIDIA just refreshed the top of the RTX 50 stack, Bossing, and the headline is not a new architecture — it is VRAM. Before you decide to wait for it, let us walk through what actually changed, and what already solves the same problem in our catalog today.

This is the companion piece to our RTX 5060 vs RX 9060 XT comparison — that fight happens a tier below where the Super refresh lands, at parehong tanong ang sagot dito: gaano karaming VRAM ang kailangan mo talaga.

Architecture

Blackwell

Upscaling

DLSS 4

Walang bagong architecture dito — parehong Blackwell pa rin, parehong DLSS 4. Ang clock speeds ay may konting bump lang. Ang totoong headline ay ang malaking dagdag sa memory, at iyon din ang punto na dapat mong intindihin bago ka mag-decide kung hihintayin mo ito.

Hindi pa ito confirmed sa catalog namin

As of this writing, wala pa kaming verified na Super series unit o price sa Unicorp — bago pa lang ang anunsyo globally at unti-unti pa lang dumadating ang stock sa Pilipinas. Ayaw naming magbigay ng price na hindi namin na-verify. I-check ang 3D PC Builder o ang pinakamalapit na branch para sa pinaka-updated na catalog.

Bakit VRAM

Bakit Malaking Bagay ang Extra Memory?

Ito ang parehong tanong na sinagot na namin sa RTX 5060 vs RX 9060 XT comparison, at parehong sagot dito: kapag naubos ang VRAM habang gaming ka, hindi lang bahagya ang bagsak ng frames — nagsi-stutter na siya at biglang tumatagal ang load times habang nag-swap ang system papunta at pabalik ng memory.

Mas malaking textures, mas maraming VRAM

Habang tumataas ang resolution at texture quality ng bagong games, mas malaki ang kailangang VRAM para hawakan ang lahat nang sabay — kaya mas ramdam ang extra memory sa 1440p at 4K kaysa sa 1080p.

Ray tracing kumakain ng memory

Idagdag mo ang ray tracing sa high-res textures at mabilis maubos ang 16GB. Ito ang exact na dahilan kung bakit ang RX 9060 XT 16GB ay minsan tumatalo sa mas mabilis na 8GB card sa texture-heavy games.

Content creation, mas malaking benepisyo

Sa 4K video timelines at heavy editing, ang extra VRAM ay direktang nakakaramdam ng epekto — mas kaunting paghihintay sa preview at export.

Local AI, pinaka-malaking beneficiary

Kung nagpapatakbo ka ng mas malaking language model o image generation sa sarili mong PC, ang 24GB ang nagbubukas ng mas malalaking model na hindi kaya ng 8GB o 16GB. Basahin ang aming VRAM-by-tier guide para sa local AI kung ito ang dahilan mo.

Sino ang Kailangan

Hindi Kailangan ng Lahat ang 24GB

16GB

Sapat na sapat sa 1440p gaming

24GB

Content creation at local AI territory

Ang tanong: ano ba talaga ang ginagawa mo sa PC?

Kung gaming lang ang gagawin mo kahit sa 1440p, sobra na ang 16GB para sa halos lahat ng games ngayong 2026. Ang 24GB ay para sa mga taong nagre-render ng heavy timelines o nagpapatakbo ng malalaking AI model sa bahay — hindi para sa karaniwang Filipino gamer.

Para sa karamihan, hindi ang Super refresh ang sagot — ang tanong ay: nasaan ka sa VRAM conversation na ito ngayon? Kung sapat na sa iyo ang 8GB o 16GB, walang dahilan para maghintay.

The Bottom Line

Ang Super refresh ay malaking bagay, Bossing — pero para sa karamihan, hindi ito ang usapang dapat mong hintayin. Kung 1080p o 1440p ang monitor mo, sapat na ang RTX 5060 o RX 9060 XT 16GB na verified na sa stock namin ngayon. Ang 24GB ay para sa mas specific na workload — content creation at local AI — at kahit doon, hindi pa ito available dito nang verified. Kapag dumating na ito nang sigurado sa catalog namin, ia-update namin ang post na ito kasama ang totoong price. Hangga't hindi, mas matalinong bumili ng may verified na stock kaysa maghintay sa isang market na tatlong beses nang tumaas ang price sa loob lang ng isang taon.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

It is a mid-cycle refresh of the RTX 50 lineup — same core Blackwell architecture, but with a large VRAM bump on the higher tiers. The RTX 5070 Super moves from 12GB to 18GB, the RTX 5070 Ti Super moves from 16GB to 24GB, and the RTX 5080 Super also lands at 24GB. Clock speeds and core counts get smaller bumps too, pero ang VRAM increase ang pinaka-malaking punto ng refresh na ito.
