Nvidia Unveils the RTX 50-Series GPUs Led By the Ginormous RTX 5090
Nvidia has finally pulled the curtain off its next series of graphics cards. If you somehow avoided the mountain of rumors and leaks about Nvidias powerful, humongous, and energy-hungry RTX 50-series GPUs, that are all that and more. The new Nvidia GeForce RTX 50-series includes all the usual suspects, though well be seeing the more powerful cards first. The RTX 5070, 5070 Ti, 5080, and top-of-the-line 5090 are all present and accounted for. Its the first time Nvidia has decided to release a titanium edition card alongside the main card, though theres nothing wrong with having more options up front. They are also the most expensive cards the company has ever produced. The RTX 4090 will retail for $1,600. To take the sting off, the company also declared the RTX 5070 will go for $550. The RTX 5070 Ti will cost $750 and the 5080 will be $1,000.Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang came out to the stage of the Michelob Ultra arena in the Mandalay Bay casino and first asked the crowd do you like my jacket? He has a reason to act like a celebrity. The companys AI training chips have made it one of the most profitable in the world. AI was the main theme behind his entire presentation. It was one of the big reasons the new RTX video cards specs seem so outlandish.He further claimed that people who take a RTX 5070, even on a laptop, can expect performance equivalent to the RTX 4090. A big part of that, he said, is because of the companys Tensor cores and its AI that back up the cards performance. GeForce brought AI to the masses, he said. Now were bringing AI to GeForce. The top-end Blackwell cards will have 380 RT TFLOPS and 125 shader TFLOPS plus a 1.8 TB/s memory bandwidth. Well get more word on the exact numbers of CUDA cores and VRAM soon, but its safe to say the RTX 5090 is 50% more card than Nvidias previous massive, ultra-powerful GPU, the RTX 4090.Add to all that is an app new AI upscaled software suite in DLSS 4. This now includes updated ray reconstruction and super resolution models aided with AI transformer models.Youd have to have a big case and big pockets to even think about sticking an RTX 5090 in your case. Meanwhile, the RTX 5080 and RTX 5070 offer power beyond their counterparts from two years ago. The new Blackwell cards should arrive within the next few weeks. What didnt get any air was the any mention of more budget-end cards. Well need to wait a few months for the RTX 5050, 5060, and 5060 Ti to show up.Gizmodo is covering all the coolest and weirdest tech from the show floor atCES 2025in Las Vegas.
