Nvidia has introduced the GeForce RTX 5090, GeForce RTX 5090D, GeForce RTX 5080, GeForce RTX 5070 Ti, and GeForce RTX 5070. The Blackwell graphics cards have 28 Gbps GDDR7 chips, except the GeForce RTX 5080, which features the faster 30 Gbps variant. The GeForce RTX 5060 Ti and GeForce RTX 5060 are en route and rumored to use 28 Gbps GDDR7. SK hynix’s GDDR7 products scale up to 32 Gbps and may even hit 40 Gbps under certain conditions, so SK hynix can comfortably fulfill Nvidia’s orders.

Nvidia GeForce RTX 50-series Graphics Card Memory Configurations

The Blackwell board designs are compatible with GDDR7 memory from Micron, Samsung, and SK hynix, giving Nvidia complete freedom to choose the supplier that offers the best deal. Although Samsung was the preferred option for the initial launch of Blackwell, it seems that SK hynix has recently caught Nvidia’s attention. Nvidia’s mainstream Blackwell graphics cards are the only products utilizing GDDR7 memory. In contrast, AMD opted to continue with GDDR6 for its RDNA 4 architecture, positioning Nvidia as the biggest customer for GDDR7 chips for this generation.

Will adding SK hynix GDDR7 as another option benefit consumers? Probably not. Even if Nvidia secures GDDR7 at lower prices, those savings are unlikely to reach consumers. It’s doubtful Nvidia will reduce the cost of Blackwell graphics cards since they’re selling like hotcakes with current pricing. Considering the current tariff situation, price decreases are even less probable.

From a performance perspective, the choice between SK hynix and Samsung in Blackwell is insignificant. The change in manufacturer won’t substantially impact Blackwell’s performance or enable Nvidia to give away free performance at no cost. Nonetheless, since not all GDDR7 modules are identical, variations in operation and overclocking potential might exist.

For instance, GDDR7 from one manufacturer might operate at a higher temperature or have greater power consumption than that of a competitor. Alternatively, one brand might possess higher overclocking headroom compared to another. Nevertheless, these questions can only be resolved by comparing Samsung GDDR7 and SK hynix GDDR7 on an identical graphics card. Considering the latest rumor, it shouldn’t be long before SK hynix variants arrive on the market.
