If you thought Nvidia’s RTX 4090 was the peak of GPU power, brace yourself. Leaks from Nvidia’s partners like Zotac and Acer suggest that the company is gearing up to launch its next-gen RTX 50-series graphics cards, and they promise some serious upgrades. From a 32GB RTX 5090 to neural rendering capabilities, the leaks paint an exciting picture for CES 2025.
What’s in the RTX 50-Series Lineup?
According to accidental listings spotted by VideoCardzNvidia is expected to unveil at least four new GPUs next month. Here’s what we know so far:
- RTX 5090: A massive upgrade with 32GB of GDDR7 memory, up from the 24GB GDDR6X on the RTX 4090.
- RTX 5080: Equipped with 16GB of GDDR7, matching the RTX 4080 but with a performance boost.
- RTX 5070 Ti and RTX 5070: Rumored to pack 16GB and 12GB of GDDR7, respectively.
- RTX 5090D: A special variant tailored for China, likely due to export restrictions.
This lineup will sit firmly at the high end, with no signs of midrange models like the RTX 5060 series just yet. Those looking for more affordable options may have to wait until late 2025.
Neural Rendering:
The leaks also hint at a new AI-powered feature called neural rendering, which could “revolutionize how graphics are processed and displayed,” according to Inno3Done of Nvidia’s partners. This might be part of an upgraded DLSS 4.0, promising even better image quality and faster frame rates.
Imagine your GPU not just rendering pixels but using AI to fill in the gaps, delivering sharper visuals with less hardware strain. It’s like giving your GPU a superpower.
How Much will the RTX 50xx Cost?
Now, let’s talk money. The RTX 5090 is unlikely to come cheap. With the 4090 already priced at $1,599 (around ₹1.34 lakh), the 5090 could see a price hike. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has previously hinted that the days of cheaper chips are over, and the larger GB202 GPU die used in the 5090 might push costs even higher.
For those wondering, it’s not just Nvidia setting the bar high. AMD and Intel have yet to release anything that competes directly with the 4090, let alone the 5090.
CES 2025 could be the stage for Nvidia to redefine high-performance GPUs with neural rendering and upgraded DLSS. Stay tuned for January; it’s shaping up to be an exciting month for PC enthusiasts.
