NVIDIA announced four GeForce RTX 50 Series GPUs at CES 2025, and we were there in person (alongside many thousands). The GeForce RTX 5070 will be priced at $549 and is set to deliver GeForce RTX 4090 levels of performance. Incredible! The GeForce RTX 5070 Ti will be priced at $749 (cheaper than the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER's $799 price point).

Finally, there's the GeForce RTX 5080 priced at $999 - half the cost of the GeForce RTX 5090. Here are images of all four (it looks like there won't be a GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Founder Edition coming). NVIDIA has confirmed that the GeForce RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 will launch on January 30, 2025. The GeForce RTX 5070 and RTX 5070 Ti are launching in February 2025.

The GeForce RTX 5090 is an AI beast; it features 92 billion transistors and can deliver 3352 TOPS of AI performance. All of this AI power is being put to good use as DLSS 4's Multi Frame Generation now generates up to three frames per rendered frame.

"Blackwell, the engine of AI, has arrived for PC gamers, developers, and creatives," said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA. "Fusing AI-driven neural rendering and ray tracing, Blackwell is the most significant computer graphics innovation since we introduced programmable shading 25 years ago."

With the RTX 50 Series, NVIDIA also introduces RTX Neural Shaders, which will unlock "film-quality materials, lighting, and more in real-time." This includes RTX Neural Faces and RTX Mega Geometry, enabling 100X more ray-traced triangles in a scene. NVIDIA showcased a stunning demonstration of this during its keynote, and as we're at CES, stay tuned for hands-on, in-depth coverage on all things GeForce RTX 50 Series, DLSS 4, RTX Neural Shaders, and more.
