The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 is inevitable, and the rumors are starting to swirl around. Here's what we've heard.

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.

NVIDIA unveiled the RTX 5000 Blackwell GPUs at its CES 2025 keynote, with four models set to launch sometime later in Q1. The RTX 5070 and 5070 Ti are aimed at the mid-range, with NVIDIA touting heady gains on both cards — the brand says the 5070 will deliver equivalent performance to the RTX 4090 thanks to the gains made with DLSS 4's multi-frame generation tech.

The new GeForce RTX 5090 is the top of the line and the star of the show (so much so that it actually leaked just hours before it was officially unveiled), but Nvidia is actually launching four new 50-series GPUs at CES 2025, with the desktop models starting to ship this month and laptop versions arriving in March.

Everyone who follows graphics cards is pretty sure Nvidia will announce the GeForce RTX 50-series at CES 2025. One new leak makes that seem almost certain. Chinese manufacturer Inno3D appears to have leaked its iChill X3 version of the rumored RTX 5090 GPU,

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.
