NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50 Series "Blackwell" On Course for Q4-2024
NVIDIA's next-generation GeForce RTX 50-series "Blackwell" gaming GPUs are on course to debut toward the end of 2024, with a Moore's Law is Dead report pinning the launch to Q4-2024. This is an easy to predict timeline, as every GeForce RTX generation tends to have 2 years of market presence, with the RTX 40-series "Ada" having debuted in Q4-2022 (October 2022), and the RTX 30-series "Ampere" in late-Q3 2020 (September 2020).
NVIDIA's roadmap for 2024 sees a Q1 debut of the RTX 40-series SUPER, with three high-end SKUs refreshing the upper half of the RTX 40-series. The MLID report goes on to speculate that the generational performance uplift of "Blackwell" over "Ada" will be smaller still, than that of "Ada" over "Ampere." With AI HPC GPUs outselling gaming GPUs by 5:1 in terms of revenues, and AMD rumored to be retreating from the enthusiast segment for its next-gen RDNA4, we get to see why this is the case.

Considering the price I paid for my current rig though, $200 cpu and $110 mobo, and $705 gpu on sale... meh. I am happy where I am.
If someone hires me with a decent salary next year though I might considering selling my current rig and getting my dream Ultima 5090 and 2nm Arrow Lake combo in Winter 2024.
Can wait for 2025 for sure.
All it takes is a 4080 pref level with 4090 mem GB, 4070 W and 4070ti price.
But as presumably only NV is left on the table, well...
I am not sure if that would be something possible even if the market wasn’t in shambles, let alone in the current conditions.
I can't catch inflation. Double price's higher in 10 years.
Nope. Next rumour!
The advancement we have seen from the 1080 Ti to the 4090 has been legendary, much like the jump from 2d to 3d.
Rasterization has come to a point where I don't care about it anymore. Whether my game runs at 200 or 300 FPS doesn't make a sliver of difference. Losing less performance when RT is enabled would be nice.
5070 = 4080 perf. level + 16GB VRAM + 4070ish Watts + 4070Ti price.
5070 = .....4070Ti price.
