Nvidia has finally pulled back the curtain the next series of graphics cards. If you somehow avoid the mountain of rumors and leaks about Nvidia MASTER, humongousand energy-hungry RTX 50-series GPUs, just that and more.
The new Nvidia GeForce RTX 50-series includes all the usual suspects, although we will see more powerful cards first. The RTX 5070, 5070 Ti, 5080, and top-of-the-line 5090 are all there and accounted for. This is the first time that Nvidia has decided to release a “titanium” edition card together with the main card, although there is no mistake that there are more options ahead.
They are also the most expensive cards the company has ever produced. The RTX 4090 will sell for $1,600. To take away the sting, the company also stated that 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 took the stage at the Michelob Ultra arena at the Mandalay Bay casino and first asked the crowd “do you like my jacket?” He has a reason to act like a celebrity. The company’s AI training chips make it one of the most useful in the world. AI was the main theme behind his entire presentation. This is one of the main reasons that the new RTX video card specs seem so amazing.
He even admitted that people who get the RTX 5070, even on a laptop, can expect to match the performance of the RTX 4090. A big part of that, he says, is due to the company’s Tensor cores and it’s AI that -card performance backup. .
“GeForce brings AI to the masses,” he said. “Now we’re bringing AI to GeForce.”
The top-end Blackwell cards have 380 RT TFLOPS and 125 shader TFLOPS and a 1.8 TB/s memory bandwidth. We’ll get more word on the exact numbers of CUDA cores and VRAM soon, but it’s safe to say that the RTX 5090 is 50% more card than Nvidia’s previous big, ultra-powerful GPU, the RTX 4090.
Add to that all in one app the new AI upscaled software suite in DLSS 4. It now includes updated ray reconstruction and super resolution models aided by AI transformer models.
You need to have a big case and big pockets to think about putting an RTX 5090 in your case. Meanwhile, the RTX 5080 and RTX 5070 offer more power than their counterparts from two years ago.
The new Blackwell cards should arrive in the next few weeks. What didn’t catch any air was any mention of more cards at the end of the budget. We’ll have to wait a few months for the RTX 5050, 5060, and 5060 Ti to appear.
