Here they are! Nvidia's RTX 50-series GPUs, based on its 'Blackwell' architecture, are coming soon, with giant performance boosts in tow for gaming and content creation with AI models.

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 officially launched the GeForce RTX 5000 series graphics cards for both desktop and laptop at CES today in Las Vegas.

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.
