NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 50 Series is almost here, and the company revealed its latest generation of GeForce RTX graphics at CES 2025. The flagship GeForce RTX 5090 and GeForce RTX 5080 are set to launch on January 30, 2025, with stunning new compact Founders Edition models and dozens of revamped designs from NVIDIA's partners, such as MSI, ASUS, GIGABYTE, and many, many, more.
The GeForce RTX 50 Series will introduce NVIDIA's latest groundbreaking AI tech for PC gaming, DLSS 4, and laptop GeForce RTX 50 Series chips, which are on the way. DLSS 4 is set to bring an incredible boost to game performance with Path Tracing, as it now generates multiple new frames instead of one. DLSS 4 is bringing a lot more to the table, and the good news is that GeForce RTX 40, 30, and even 20 Series owners will reap the benefits.
With NVIDIA unveiling the GeForce RTX 50 Series, we finally have the official specs, pricing, and performance for the lineup. Each model will deliver an incredible 2X performance increase over its GeForce RTX 40 Series counterpart.
However, this is with DLSS 4's new Multi Frame Generation enabled. First, though, here's a breakdown of the specs.
