In the latest rumors from Chinese Board Channels, we're hearing reports that the final launch plans for NVIDIA's upcoming GeForce RTX 50 series "Blackwell" gaming GPUs will be staged out across Q1 2025. The post explains: "The latest news reveals that the release dates for the NVIDIA RTX 50 series are mostly confirmed. This time, the various models of the RTX50 series may be launched rather quickly, with a near-monthly release schedule".

It continues: "Based on the information available, the estimated release timeline is as follows: the tentative release dates for the RTX50 series have been set. At CES in January 2025, NVIDIA will launch the RTX5090D and 5080 series. In February, the RTX5070TI and 5070 series will be released, followed by the RTX5060TI and 5060 series in March. This means the entire lineup will be released within Q1 of 2025. As of now, there are no plans for any SUPER models".

This means we should expect NVIDIA to unveil the new ultra-enthusiast GeForce RTX 5090 and GeForce RTX 5080 graphics cards at CES 2025 in January, while maybe we'll get some specs and teases of the RTX 5070 and RTX 5060 during the show.

I can see an early-January 2025 unveiling at CES 2025 (first week of January) for the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080, as they'll be the stars of the show for the event and NVIDIA as a company. The release of the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 will most likely be towards the end of the month, giving another two weeks into February before the RTX 5070 + RTX 5070 Ti looms and then gets released (with reviews in between) and then finally, the RTX 5060 + RTX 5060 Ti in March.
