Next-generation GeForce RTX GPUs deliver stunning visual realism and 2x performance improvements, enabled by AI, neural shaders, and DLSS 4.
CES—NVIDIA today announced GeForce RTX™ 50 Series desktop and laptop GPUs, the most advanced consumer GPUs for gamers, creators, and developers.
Powered by NVIDIA Blackwell Architecture, 5th Generation Tensor Cores, and 4th Generation RT Cores, GeForce RTX 50 Series delivers breakthrough advances in AI-driven rendering, including neural shaders, digital human technology, geometry, lighting, and more .
“Blackwell, the AI engine, is here for PC gamers, developers, and creators,” said NVIDIA Founder and CEO Jensen Huang. “Blackwell’s blend of AI-driven neural rendering and ray tracing is the most significant innovation in computer graphics since we introduced programmable shading 25 years ago.”
The GeForce RTX 5090 GPU, the fastest GeForce RTX GPU ever, features 92 billion transistors and delivers over 3,352 trillion AI operations per second (TOPS). With Blackwell architecture innovations and DLSS 4, GeForce RTX 5090 GPUs are up to 2x better than GeForce RTX 4090 GPUs.
GeForce Blackwell is included in laptops with all the features of desktop models, delivering significant upgrades to portable computing, including exceptional graphics capabilities and remarkable efficiency. The Blackwell generation of NVIDIA Max-Q technology extends battery life by up to 40% and features thin and light laptops that maintain a sleek design without sacrificing power or performance.
NVIDIA DLSS 4 improves performance by up to 8x
DLSS 4 debuts multi-frame generation, which uses AI to improve frame rates by generating up to three frames per rendered frame. It works in conjunction with a suite of DLSS technologies to improve performance by up to 8x compared to traditional rendering while maintaining the responsiveness of NVIDIA Reflex technology.
DLSS 4 also introduces the graphics industry’s first real-time application of Transformer Model Architecture. Transformer-based DLSS ray reconstruction models and super-resolution models use 2x more parameters and 4x more compute to improve game scene stability, reduce ghosting, increase detail, and anti-aliasing will be strengthened. DLSS 4 will be supported on GeForce RTX 50 Series GPUs in over 75 games and applications on launch day.
NVIDIA Reflex 2 introduces Frame Warp, an innovative technology that reduces gaming lag by updating rendered frames based on the latest mouse input just before they are sent to the display. Reflex 2 can reduce latency by up to 75%. This gives gamers a competitive edge in multiplayer games and makes single-player titles more responsive.
Blackwell brings AI to shaders
Twenty-five years ago, NVIDIA introduced GeForce 3 and programmable shaders, setting the stage for two decades of graphics innovation, from pixel shading to compute shading to real-time ray tracing. In addition to GeForce RTX 50 Series GPUs, NVIDIA is introducing RTX Neural Shaders, which incorporate small AI networks into programmable shaders to bring cinematic-quality materials, lighting, and more to real-time games.
Rendering game characters is one of the most difficult tasks in real-time graphics. This is because digital humans are more likely to notice small errors and artifacts. RTX Neural Faces takes simple rasterized faces and 3D pose data as input and uses generative AI to render high-quality, temporally stable digital faces in real time.
RTX Neural Faces is complemented by new RTX technology for ray-traced hair and skin. Together with the new RTX Mega Geometry, which enables up to 100x more ray-traced triangles in a scene, these advancements significantly increase the realism of game characters and environments.
The power of neural rendering, DLSS 4, and new DLSS transformer models will be showcased on GeForce RTX 50 Series GPUs with Zorah, NVIDIA’s groundbreaking new technology demo.
autonomous game character
GeForce RTX 50 Series GPUs bring industry-leading AI TOPS to power autonomous game characters alongside game rendering.
NVIDIA is introducing a new set of NVIDIA ACE technologies that enable game characters to perceive, plan, and act like human players. ACE-powered autonomous characters are integrated into KRAFTON’s PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS, the publisher’s upcoming life simulation game InZOI, and Wemade Next’s MIR5.
In PUBG, NVIDIA ACE-powered companions plan and execute strategic actions and dynamically collaborate with human players to ensure survival. InZOI features smart Zoe characters that autonomously adjust their behavior based on life goals and in-game events. In MIR5, Large-Scale Language Model (LLM)-driven raid bosses adapt their tactics based on player actions, creating more dynamic and challenging encounters.
RTX AI AI foundation model for PC
To demonstrate how RTX enthusiasts and developers can use NVIDIA NIM microservices to build AI agents and assistants, NVIDIA is introducing RTX AI from top model developers such as Black Forest Labs, Meta, Mistral, and Stability AI. We’re releasing NIM microservices and AI Blueprint pipelines for PC.
Use cases span LLM, vision language models, image generation, audio, embedded models for search enhancement generation, PDF extraction, and computer vision. NIM microservices include all the components needed to run AI on your PC and are optimized for deployment to any NVIDIA GPU.
To demonstrate how hobbyists and developers can use NIM to build AI agents and assistants, NVIDIA today previewed Project R2X. It’s a vision-enabled PC avatar that can put information at your fingertips, assist with desktop apps and video conferencing, and read and summarize documents. , etc.
AI-powered tools for creators
GeForce RTX 50 Series GPUs power your creative workflows. RTX 50 Series GPUs are the first consumer GPUs to support FP4 precision, delivering a 2x improvement in AI image generation performance for models like FLUX compared to previous generation hardware, and allowing you to generate AI models with less memory. You will be able to run it locally in your footprint.
The NVIDIA Broadcast app now includes two AI-powered beta features for live streamers. Studio Voice to upgrade your microphone audio and Virtual Key Light to relight your face for a polished stream. Streamlabs introduces Intelligent Streaming Assistant, powered by NVIDIA ACE and Inworld AI. It acts as a co-host, producer, and technical assistant to power your live stream.
