After launching the RTX 50 series in January last year, many Nvidia fans may have been looking forward to news regarding refreshed ‘Super’ models at CES. This is what we saw with the RTX 40 series, but this time around, the annual tech conference will not play host to any Nvidia graphics card announcements. The company has officially announced that “no new GPUs will be announced” at this year’s event in Las Vegas.

Nvidia’s CES 2026 keynote will take place later today (January 5), and we expect to see much of it focused on enhancements in AI – data centers are what make up the majority of profits these days, after all. In fact, Nvidia now calls itself “an AI data center infrastructure company” rather than a GPU manufacturer. Following CEO Jensen Huang’s special address, we’ll be getting a GeForce On community update, streamed via Twitch, to discuss the latest in Nvidia gaming.

When is the GeForce On community update?

As announced in a recent social media post, where the news of “no new GPUs” was confirmed, we can see that the latest community update will be taking place at 9 PM Pacific Time on January 5. It will provide the latest updates for GeForce GPU owners, including the latest features, as well as supported games and apps. Nvidia regularly supports the latest AAA titles with a full suite of DLSS features, and we don’t see that stopping soon. Here’s when the stream starts across the world:

• Las Vegas – 9 PM PST (January 5)
• New York – 12 AM EST (January 6)
• London – 5 AM GMT (January 6)
• Berlin – 6 AM CET (January 6)
• Mumbai – 10:30 AM IST (January 6)
• Tokyo – 2 PM JST (January 6)
• Sydney – 4 PM AEDT (January 6)
• Auckland – 6 PM NZDT (January 6)

Speculation surrounding the RTX 50 series Super GPUs points towards a hefty delay for the new and improved models. Rumors began to surface as a result of memory shortages that continue to plague the PC hardware industry. Prior specs leaks suggest Nvidia plans to upgrade memory capacity across the board, with the RTX 5080 and 5070 Ti Super GPUs climbing to 24GB of GDDR7 VRAM, and the RTX 5070 lifted to an unusual 18GB. This is reportedly due to a switch to 3GB memory modules – at least, that was the plan until memory shortages bottlenecked the industry.

Early expectations of a late 2025 launch for the Super cards proved to be ambitious, as did the slightly more reserved CES 2026 predictions. Right now, it’s looking likely that Nvidia will target a mid-2026 or Q3 announcement, but it’s difficult to say anything with certainty right now, given the current climate regarding memory.

Another interesting update that may come to light at CES is native Linux support for GeForce Now, Nvidia’s popular cloud gaming service. This was recently reported online, and while it is yet to be officially confirmed by Nvidia, native support would provide Linux gamers an official way to use the service. We’ve already seen GeForce Now on Linux in the form of the Steam Deck, which runs on a custom Linux-based operating system, SteamOS. GFN provides gamers a way to play AAA games at a fraction of the price, and those staying away from Windows may have easy access to the service incredibly soon.
