As anticipated, Nvidia Monday kicked off its CES 2025 keynote by unveiling the new RTX Blackwell family of GPUs. The centerpiece of the line is the RTX

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang revealed the RTX 50-series GPUs during a CES keynote this evening, announcing a $1,999 RTX 5090, a $999 RTX 5080, a $749 RTX 5070 Ti, and a $549 RTX 5070. Nvidia’s new RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 GPUs will both be available on January 30th, with the RTX 5070 Ti and RTX 5070 to follow in February.

The four GPUs in the lineup include the RTX 5070, RTX 5070 Ti, RTX 5080, and the RTX 5090. They start off at just $549 and go up to $1999. For now, there is no information on the cheaper RTX 5060 models, but they can be expected to be somewhere in the $350 to $400 range.

Nvidia has finally pulled the curtain off its next series of graphics cards. If you somehow avoided the mountain of rumors and leaks about Nvidia’s powerful, humongous, and energy-hungry RTX 50-series GPUs, that are all that and more.

The new Blackwell architecture holds benefits for gamers as well as generative AI fans. There's just something about a new graphics processor architecture that gets everyone's juices flowing, either to covet it or complain. Or oddly, sometimes both. So happy CES 2025 from Nvidia!

Intel officially announced its first two budget-mainstream Battlemage GPUs, the Arc B580 and Arc B570, but they're only the first salvo. The new architecture offers performance and efficiency improvements that should give Nvidia some much-needed competition, though drivers remain a potential sticking point.

Nvidia says the RTX 5090 is “2X Faster Than The GeForce RTX 4090;” the RTX 5080 is “Twice As Fast As The GeForce RTX 4080;” the RTX 5070 is “2X Faster Than The GeForce RTX 4070 Ti;” and the RTX 5070 is as fast as the RTX 4090.

We now know more details about Nvidia's upcoming GeForce RTX 5090, RTX 5080, RTX 5070 Ti, and RTX 5070 graphics cards. Here's some broader specs info on every new RTX 5000 GPU.

Nvidia is truly masterful at one thing: perfectly showcasing the graphics cards at the launch of a new GPU generation. This isn’t bad in itself; after all, a fruit seller at the market also advertises his bright red apples as a real treat.
