Nvidia finally has pull back the curtains Next series graphics card If you avoid the many Nvidia rumors and leaks. Powerful– has a large bodyand RTX 50 Series GPU power requirements, that's it and more.
The new Nvidia GeForce RTX 50 Series includes all the usual suspects. Although we'll see more powerful cards first, the RTX 5070, 5070 Ti, 5080, and top-of-the-line 5090 are all available and decent. This is the first time Nvidia has decided to release a “titanium” version of its card alongside its main card. There's nothing wrong with having additional options upfront, though.
It's also the most expensive card the company has ever produced. The RTX 4090 will retail for $1,600. The company also announced that the RTX 5070 will cost $550, the RTX 5070 Ti will cost $750, and the 5080 will cost $1,000.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang came out to the Michelob Ultra stage in the Mandalay Bay casino and asked the crowd first: “Do you like my jacket?” He has a reason to behave like a celebrity. The company's AI training chip makes it one of the most profitable chips in the world. AI is the main theme behind all of his presentations. This is one of the key reasons why the specs of new RTX video cards look so unusual.
He further claims that those using the RTX 5070 even on laptops can expect performance comparable to the RTX 4090. He says that's mostly because of the company's Tensor Core and it's AI that backs up the card's performance.
“GeForce brought AI to the masses,” he said. “Now we're bringing AI to GeForce.”
The top-end Blackwell card will have 380 RT TFLOPS and 125 shader TFLOPS along with 1.8 TB/s memory bandwidth. We'll have more word on the exact number of CUDA cores and VRAM soon, but it's safe to say. The RTX 5090 is said to have 50% more cards than Nvidia's previous large and ultra-powerful GPU, the RTX 4090.
Added to all that is a newly upgraded AI software suite in the DLSS 4 app, which now includes updated ray reconstruction and ultra-resolution models assisted by AI transformer models.
You'd need a large case and large pockets to even think about mounting the RTX 5090 in your case. Meanwhile, the RTX 5080 and RTX 5070 offer more power than competitors from two years ago.
The new Blackwell cards should arrive within the next few weeks. What didn't get aired was any mention of additional budget cards. We'll have to wait a few months before the RTX 5050, 5060, and 5060 Ti appear.
