The NVIDIA RTX 5070 for laptops appears again with 12 GB of VRAM in an MSI leak

A few weeks ago we heard of the rumor that NVIDIA would change one of its mid-range references for laptops to add a greater amount of VRAM, the RTX 5070. Rumors said that this reference, which initially arrived with a few 8GB VRAMwould have 12GB VRAM later. It seems that this change will be made shortly given the leak of MSI in the characteristics of one of its gaming laptops that has revealed this non-existent configuration of RTX 5070 with 12GB VRAM.

The NVIDIA RTX 5070 for laptops could arrive with 12 GB of VRAM

The rumors come to life with this new leak in the specifications, which may be an error, but with this rumor circulating on the internet it seems more like an oversight when it comes to delivering the specifications by MSI. Currently the NVIDIA RTX 5070 for laptops is registered on the manufacturer’s website as a card with 8GB GDDR7 VRAMwith the arrival of new memory chips from 3GB GDDR7NVIDIA seems to be making changes and wants to provide this mid-range card with 12GBjust like the Ti model.

But this is not the only plan NVIDIAsince it is also said that he wants to take advantage of this pull to add 9GB VRAM in some models RTX 50 Series for desktop computers that currently have 8GB.

MSI, ASUS and Dell point to the new configuration of the RTX 5070

This MSI Crosshair 16 MAX HX He is not the only one who has appeared with a NVIDIA RTX 5070 12GB VRAMand other models of ASUS and of Dell It seems that they had the same mistake and advertised with this model and 12GB instead of the 8 GB official until now. Everything indicates that NVIDIA is making adjustments to optimize its models RTX 50 of the current seriesin the absence of new models SUPER which had supposedly been delayed or even canceled due to the current RAM crisis that is causing prices to rise sharply.

A piece of evidence that makes this rumor gain strength is that in addition MSI has removed the configuration of the Crosshair 16 Max HX laptop where did this appear RTX 5070 with 12GB VRAMand that we ourselves managed to capture for our news.
