Nvidia is widely expected to announce new GeForce RTX 5000 series graphics cards, including the RTX 5080 and 5090, at its CES event in Las Vegas today, with CEO Jensen Huang taking the stage at 6:30pm PT. I will. AI will be a major topic of discussion, as will next-generation graphics cards for gaming, but gamers can expect news on the new RTX 5000 series, including pricing, specs, release date confirmation, and internal performance tests. Sho.

What you want to know about the RTX 5000 series
Our knowledge of the RTX 5000 series is quite lacking, with rumors and leaks so far only covering vague specs for the series as a whole. The keynote is expected to reveal most of the information we want to know, but some information may be withheld as some models may not be released for several months. there is.
Nvidia RTX 5000 price
This is the big one. There is little concrete information regarding the pricing of the new RTX 5000 series, but some rumored figures point to a significant price increase compared to the previous generation. For example, recent rumors suggest that the RTX 5090 will cost between $2,000 and $2,500, which is significantly higher than the RTX 4090’s launch price of $1,600.
Pricing hikes could send profits soaring for what is currently the world’s second-most valuable company, but gamers will be complacent as graphics card prices have soared in recent years thanks to the pandemic and crypto mining. Probably not. While we should at least get some clarity today, it’s also worth noting that AMD and Intel are also scheduled to announce graphics cards this week.
Nvidia RTX 5000 specifications
What we know so far is that the RTX 5090 will receive a significant memory upgrade from 24GB to 32GB. It was recently confirmed by a leak posted on technology website Videocardz, revealing an RTX 5090 model called iChill X3 from Inno3D. The box says 32GB, probably GDDR7 memory. The RTX 5080 and 5070 Ti maintain the same 16 GB as the RTX 4080 and RTX 4070 Ti Super, which is an increase of 4 GB compared to the 4070 Ti and 4070.
The RTX 5070 will likely come with 12GB, the same as the RTX 4070, while the RTX 5060 Ti will come in 16GB and 8GB flavors, just like the RTX 4060 Ti. The RTX 5060 will keep the same 8GB as the RTX 4060, at least according to rumors, but at least the specs for the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 should be revealed today. According to previous launch schedules, Nvidia may not provide full details for other models, and perhaps these two cards may be the only ones detailed today.
Nvidia RTX 5000 release schedule
According to the leak detailed in the link below, the RTX 5080 will likely launch first, followed by the RTX 5090, with the former arriving on January 21st. This suggests that the RTX 5090 will follow, based on previous launch schedules. The remaining stacks will appear in February or March a little before June.
Of course, much of what we know is based on rumors and supposed leaks from industry insiders, so things may turn out to be exactly as we expected. Nvidia has typically kept a similar launch schedule with new architecture releases, but we’re likely to find out today the availability of at least the RTX 5090 and 5080, and perhaps others, although specific details are lacking. You can see that models are also available.
