The Nvidia RTX 5090 is expected to improve by 60% to 70% between generations. The RTX 5070 is 20%-30% faster than the 4070 and can lag significantly behind it. The RTX 5080 is 30%-40% faster than the 4080, and falls somewhere in between.
Nvidia’s RTX 5000 GPUs are just around the corner – Team Green has officially teased new GeForce graphics cards for CES 2025 – and the potential performance levels these Blackwell products could achieve , I just heard more about the topic.
This is a rumor that needs to be seasoned. As our source, regular X leaker OneRaichu, points out, these are just their predictions.
In a post highlighted by Digital Trends, OneRaichu believes the flagship (RTX 5090) will be 60% to 70% faster due to the GPU generation up.
Predictions are that “high-level” Blackwell GPUs (we think you mean RTX 5080) will be 30% to 40% faster than Nvidia’s GPUs, with midrange expected to be 20% to 30% faster. previous generation graphics card. In the latter case, we’re guessing this refers to the RTX 5070 and, to a lesser extent, the RTX 5060, but the lack of rumored specs (and performance predictions) suggests that this GPU could be further along. There is a possibility that that.
Analysis: Great news for PC enthusiasts in theory, not so great news for the mainstream
As mentioned above, these are just predictions, but of course these predictions are built on a foundation of leaks that OneRaichu has been hearing for a while.
What’s interesting is that when it comes to the RTX 5090, we’ve heard past rumors that the next-gen flagship will be 50% to 70% faster than the RTX 4090. So, this leaker’s claim is that the RTX 4090 will look like this: This is the highest estimate to date and a hint (albeit with considerable skepticism) that this will be a powerful graphics card from Nvidia. It will likely come with an equally high price tag (which you may not be able to afford unless you take out a second mortgage).
On the other hand, the RTX 5070 may have a much more modest generational bump, which is a bummer for me, and for any mainstream gamer with a more typical gaming PC budget. This also applies to some of the things we’ve been hearing about. I’ve heard about that graphics card. (In particular, the purported 12GB of VRAM, even the more comfortable GDDR7, can be a real stumbling block for many).
At least considering this new teaser, it’s almost certain that Nvidia will announce an RTX 5000 graphics card at CES 2025, so we won’t have to wait long to find out how accurate this prediction and other speculations are. there is no. (And the fact that the new Witcher 4 trailer also uses an unannounced RTX GPU, likely a 5090).
