NVIDIA to Release the Bulk of its RTX 50-series in Q1-2025

The first quarter of 2025 (January thru March) will see back-to-back launches of next-generation GeForce RTX 50-series "Blackwell" graphics card, according to the latest rumors. NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang is confirmed to take center stage for the 2025 International CES keynote address, where he is widely expected to kick off the GeForce "Blackwell" gaming GPU generation. CES is expected to see NVIDIA launch its flagship GeForce RTX 5090 (RTX 4090-successor SKU), and its next-best part, the GeForce RTX 5080 (RTX 4080 successor).

February 2025 is expected to see the company debut the RTX 5070, and possibly the RTX 5070 Ti, if there is such a SKU. The RTX 5070 succeeds a long line of extremely successful SKUs that tended to sell in large volumes. Perhaps the most important launches of the generation will come in March 2025, when the company is expected to debut the RTX 5060 and RTX 5060 Ti, which succeed the current RTX 4060 and RTX 4060 Ti, respectively. The xx60 tier tends to be the bestselling class of gaming GPUs in any generation. In all, it's expected that NVIDIA will release six new SKUs within Q1, and you can expect over a hundred graphics card reviews from TechPowerUp in Q1.

5060 in March is an improvement over last gen. IIRC, we waited close to a year for the 4060, probably because there was a major glut of leftover Ampere cards in the wake of the crypto craze, and Nvidia didn't want to compete with its own efforts to sell those off.

AI continues to distort the market, of course, but I'll take any little bit of encouraging news.

After the shenanigans that we were treated to for about 3 generations now, I expect very, very few people are holding their breath.

It seems like the best thing gamers can do is make a list: price, performance, power draw, availability. And hope they're screwed with only one of them.

Edit: One good thing is we don't need to wait 6 months after the 5090/5080 to get the 5060.

And the question and answers about CP2077 are interesting. Why is 4k240p needed and... why can't it (with dlss next version+fg)? See now if you are asking about AW2 with all rt and pt effects on the answer would be unequivocally - NO!

64KI hope the 5060 will be the real xx60 GPU this time and there will be a 5050 entry level that gamers can afford again.

I give the 5050 a 50/50 chance of happening. Pun intended. :p
Hate to break it to you, but its a 5030 that will masquerade as a 5060. :/

Hardly...But it's likely to be able to pass a 16k signal through it's displayport. ;)

3DVCashThey did with the 4060 Ti though.
Nvidia does that with xx60's. Extra VRAM makes them more attractive to some without having a GPU powerful enough to really use it which would cannibalize workstation and halo models.

16k Half Life maybe, bigger question is can you even get a 16k display and why? 4k is getting close to what the human eye is at a comfortable viewing distance.

Honestly taking up too many slots is just wrong no room for anything else. Might as well make a 16X Cable plug into board run cable to a new whole box just for the video card and run monitor off that.

You will be severely disappointed. Garbage 5060 erm 5070 is still 12GB and said to barely beat 4070 Ti in raster but faster in RTing, as though anyone gives a toss. Having learned nothing from the outrage at low memory counts for Lovelace, they are doubling down with Blackwell

Im scared about the price of 5090. I'm hoping for 2k, but expecting 2.5.

Nah 2999.00 or heck might be 4k since Nvidia does not care about anyone and inflation. I mean the 4090 was 5k in Canada. People bought it and wow I can do 192FPS in 4k with a software A.I. turned on. But without the software DLSS card performed about the same as a 1080 Ti.

5090 could cost $10k and I wouldn't give a rat's a$$. What I'm scared of is having to fork $700+ again for something resembling a mid-range card.

This is also your fault! By "you" I mean people who don't care and keep feeding the greedy Ol' Jensy again and again no matter what price he asks. You're all partly responsible!

(Joking.)

1700 $ is too much, skip it. Just prepare to release somewhere Q4 2025 the RDNA 5 - likes Radeon RX 9900 XTX 48 GB VRAM GDRR7 for 1000 $ msrp, I am thinking...

... having missed the bit where AMD threw in the towel on those ridiculous cards. Apparently.

Very unlikely, but it should beat out the 4080. I'd be glad to be wrong though...

It could beat it on price, I guess.
