NVIDIA is launching its new GeForce RTX 50 Series of graphics cards this year, starting with the flagship GeForce RTX 5090 and GeForce RTX 5080 at the end of the month. In February, the company is expected to launch the GeForce RTX 5070 and RTX 5070 Ti, which are set to arrive at precisely the right time.

According to a new report via the Taiwanese site ITHome and BoardChannels, the GeForce RTX 4070 is set to be sold out by the end of January - in that NVIDIA's partners will no longer be able to order new RTX 4070 GPUs. This doesn't mean it'll be impossible to find a GeForce RTX 4070 or RTX 4070 SUPER, but prices will probably go up instead of down as stock clears out.
On the plus side, the GeForce RTX 5070 is launching in February with a competitive price point and, according to NVIDIA, will be roughly 20% faster than the GeForce RTX 4070 in terms of raw gaming performance. That figure increases to 2X with DLSS 4 and the new Multi Frame Generation, exclusive to the RTX 50 Series.
According to the report, GeForce RTX 4060 and RTX 4060 Ti stock will continue to be available through at least March, which suggests that NVIDIA will launch the mainstream GeForce RTX 5060 in March or April 2025.
NVIDIA has yet to formally announce the GeForce RTX 5060, but rumors suggest that it will also feature the same high-speed GDDR7 memory as the rest of the RTX 50 Series. However, the VRAM capacity will stay at 8GB, which many consider to be not enough for gaming in 2025.
