Nvidia’s new line of GPUs, the RTX 50-series consists of RTX 5090, RTX 5080, RTX 5070 Ti, and RTX 5070 promising huge leaps in performance, thanks to the new AI powers of DLSS 4.
Nvidia’s RTX 5090 is the fastest consumer GPU, but it’s not twice as fast as its predecessor, RTX 4090.
The RTX 5080 matches the price of the RTX 4080 while RTX 5070 Ti and RTX 5070 are $50 cheaper than the RTX 4070 Ti and RTX 4070.
Cards made by Nvidia’s partners may push prices to new heights, with the RTX 5090 being sold for as much as $2,700.
The RTX 5090 and 5080 both launch on January 30, while the RTX 5070 Ti and 5070 will follow in February.
DLSS 4 uses Multi Frame Generation to boost gaming performance by generating up to three frames for each rendered frame. The RTX 5090 can hit up to 240 fps at 4K with full ray tracing, presumably including path tracing.
Around 75 games will support DLSS 4, and this includes some AAA titles that will benefit from it the most, such as Indiana Jones and the Great Circle and Cyberpunk 2077.
Nvidia’s Blackwell architecture improves performance and brings a new generation of graphics cards manufactured based on TSMC’s 4NP process.
Nvidia and its partners are readying up laptops with almost the full range of RTX 50-series cards, including RTX 5090, RTX 5080, RTX 5070 Ti, and RTX 5070.
The RTX 5090 sports a stunning design and is just a dual-slot GPU, while the RTX 5090 with the GB202 chip needed a completely redefined printed circuit board to support its kind of power consumption.
