As someone who has been following the world of gaming and graphics cards for years now, I must say that the upcoming NVIDIA RTX 5000 series is shaping up to be quite an exciting development! With rumors swirling about DLSS 4, PCIe 5.0 x16 support, and triple DisplayPort 2.1a connections, it seems that NVIDIA is pushing the envelope yet again.
In September 2022, NVIDIA introduced its top-tier RTX 4000 “Ada” graphics processing units (GPUs), first showcasing the RTX 4090 and RTX 4080 models which hit the market a fortnight later. As of now, NVIDIA’s RTX 4000 lineup is widely recognized as offering some of the best GPUs on the market, particularly for those seeking peak performance.
For over two years now, NVIDIA’s 40-Series GPUs have been available for purchase. Lately, there’s been a growing buzz about the upcoming RTX 5000 “Blackwell” models. However, until NVIDIA officially confirms anything, consider this information as mere speculation. Here’s what we currently know:
NVIDIA RTX 5000 release date rumors
It’s not officially confirmed, but I suspect that NVIDIA will unveil its upcoming RTX 5000 GPUs at CES 2025 in January. This assumption arises from leaks and rumors circulating around. Notably, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang has scheduled a keynote speech for January 6 at 6:30 PM PST, a time that many speculate could be the reveal moment, if it indeed happens.
Supporting this speculation is a report from VideoCardz, which stems from an unintentional disclosure by an Inno3D representative during a live stream on the Pichau YouTube channel. The rep indicated that the RTX 5090 will supposedly be announced at CES 2025. Although it’s expected that NVIDIA may announce other GPUs as well, it’s worth noting the flagship card in this context.
According to reliable sources like kopite7kimi on platform X and reports from VideoCardz and Benchlife, it’s likely that there won’t be a significant delay between the announcement and availability of the new graphics cards. The RTX 5080 is predicted to lead the market launch, followed by the RTX 5090, RTX 5070 Ti, and RTX 5070 later in Q1 2025. The RTX 5060 Ti and RTX 5060 are expected to be released towards the end of the year.
It appears that according to a leak found by VideoCardz, NVIDIA may have stopped manufacturing most of its RTX 40-series graphics cards to focus on producing the RTX 5000 series instead. This information, sourced from the Board Channels forum, indicates the closure of the AD106 production facility and a reduction in AD107 production.
Given that NVIDIA may not release its budget GPUs until later this year, it’s safe to say that there remains a good supply of mid-range RTX 4000 graphics cards on the market.
NVIDIA RTX 5000 specifications
The latest NVIDIA RTX 5000 series graphics processors are transitioning to the new Blackwell architecture, replacing the Ada Lovelace architecture of the RTX 4000. This upgrade is anticipated to span across a wide range of products, from cost-effective consumer GPUs by NVIDIA to advanced AI-focused chips.
Based on various online speculations, notably from a reliable source kopite7kimi, the upcoming flagship RTX 5090 graphics card is rumored to feature 32GB of GDDR7 VRAM with a 512-bit memory bus. It’s also expected to be powered by the GB202-300-AI GPU and have a Total Graphics Power (TGP) of 600W. Additionally, there are indications that the RTX 5080 will use the GB203-400-AI GPU, featuring 16GB of GDDR7 VRAM and a 256-bit memory bus, with a TGP of 400W.

If the rumors prove accurate, you should be prepared for impressive specifications on both the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 graphics cards. Some persistent rumors that I don’t anticipate will change include PCIe 5.0 x16 support and triple DisplayPort 2.1a connections. Let me share some other potential specs with you.
As video memory (VRAM) plays a crucial role in today’s modern games, it’s clear that mid-range GPUs like the RTX 4060 with 8GB are struggling to keep up as time goes by. In my recent article, I demonstrated how the RTX 3060, with its additional 4GB of VRAM, surpasses the performance of the RTX 4060 in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. This superiority is undoubtedly due to the extra video memory at play.
I’m continuing to hear whispers about RTX 5000 graphics cards, and if those rumors are accurate, the RTX 5080 and 5090 models should have ample VRAM for a long time. However, it remains to be seen how NVIDIA’s mid-range cards will handle the VRAM situation. Fingers crossed that we don’t see any models with less than 12GB of VRAM.
Will RTX 5000 have DLSS 4?
It’s plausible that the debut of DLSS 4 could coincide with the launch of RTX 5000 GPUs, but at this point, it remains speculation as no official confirmation has been made yet. Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) is a crucial feature in NVIDIA’s GPU ecosystem, enhancing both performance and visual quality in numerous games by harnessing the power of AI and advanced hardware.
2022 saw the debut of DLSS 3.0 alongside NVIDIA’s RTX 4000 GPUs, and since then, it has been advanced to version 3.5. The most recent iterations of DLSS are exclusively available for RTX 4000 GPUs, often leaving RTX 3000 card owners feeling frustrated.
As a tech enthusiast, I’ve been hearing whispers about DLSS 4 potentially being exclusive to NVIDIA’s RTX 5000 series graphics cards when it launches. However, there’s no official confirmation yet whether it will come bundled with the upcoming GPUs or not. Moreover, the notion of hardware exclusivity is still up in the air. Let’s wait and see what unfolds!
NVIDIA RTX 5000 pricing rumors
The future performance of NVIDIA’s RTX 5000 significantly depends on its price. Currently, the RTX 4090 typically retails between $1,600 and $2,000, but good luck finding it for less than $2,200 these days, with prices often exceeding $3,000. If this seems expensive, the anticipated pricing for upcoming NVIDIA GPUs may not be welcome news.
In the anticipation of the imminent unveiling, it’s become evident that the specific figures related to pricing are being meticulously protected. However, there’s been a whisper from Bits and Chips suggesting that the RTX 5090 might retail around $1,900.
Damn, the GeForce RTX 5090 will cost ~1900 Dollar.November 18, 2024
The information leaked by Bits and Chips originates from various Chinese and Japanese reporters, so be cautious in interpreting it. Furthermore, in the comments section of the original post, Bits and Chips hinted that partner card prices could increase, with overclocked (OC) versions being particularly affected. This isn’t unexpected.
More to come
If NVIDIA indeed reveals its RTX 5000 GPUs at CES 2025 as expected, we won’t have to wait long to clear up any speculations. The Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2025 will take place from January 7 to 10 in Las Vegas, but NVIDIA is set to start things with their keynote on the 6th of January itself.
It seems that all signs point towards Blackwell’s upcoming debut, happening within a month’s time. Rest assured, I will make certain to update this guide as soon as any official details become available.
