NVIDIA RTX 5070 Ti GPU turns up in HWiNFO utility, but there's no RTX 5070 - a telling sign?

Darren Allan | Jan 31, 2025 10:30 AM CST

NVIDIA's RTX 5070 Ti is getting support in the HWiNFO utility, but there's a possibly telling omission here.

NVIDIA RTX 5070 Ti GPU turns up in HWiNFO utility, but there's no RTX 5070 - a telling sign?

While the RTX 5070 Ti is mentioned in a fresh update (hat tip to VideoCardz) that details the upcoming changes with the app, the RTX 5070 isn't, at least suggesting that it's not as close to hand as the faster Ti version of these mid-range GPUs. (Also, it's worth noting that the RTX 5090 D version of the Blackwell flagship for China is down here as covered for support, too).

Officially, NVIDIA has not said when these two flavors of the RTX 5070 will be launched, beyond informing us that the GPUs will debut in February.

Sick of NVIDIA's RTX 5000 stock shortages? High-end Intel Battlemage GPU rumor may cheer you up

Darren Allan | Jan 31, 2025 6:16 AM CST

Intel could have a trio of new Battlemage GPUs in the works, and if one of those is a higher-end model - as it may well be - the hope is that it might give NVIDIA's RTX 5000 graphics cards some competition.

Sick of NVIDIA's RTX 5000 stock shortages? High-end Intel Battlemage GPU rumor may cheer you up

The potential GPUs were spotted in the most recent patch for Linux, but only as PCI IDs (so just a basic identification code, with no name or other details), as highlighted by Tomasz Gawroński on X (see the above post).

Of course, a few ID numbers floating around may not mean much, and nothing could come of this.

GeForce RTX 5090 signed by JayzTwoCents scalped already, up for stupidly high $5800

Anthony Garreffa | Jan 31, 2025 2:02 AM CST

YouTuber JayzTwoCents attended a Micro Center in Tustin, where he built a brand new gaming PC live in order to celebrate NVIDIA's new GeForce RTX 50 series GPU, where he signed an RTX 5090 for a fan... who threw it up for sale for $5800.

JayzTwoCents signed a custom ZOTAC GeForce RTX 5090 graphics card that Eric Wang purchased, and then throwing it up onto Facebook Marketplace for $5800, noting that it was signed by the YouTuber. JayzTwoCents took to his X account, saying "Epic didn't want long to scalp the card we signed in Tustin Micro Center today".

He followed up the post, adding: "I messaged him and called him a dick. I feel better now haha". The seller must have noticed, as he edited his listing to remote the mention that JayzTwoCents signed the box. JayzTwoCents replied to someone saying that the problem isn't with scalpers, but with scarcity and demand, to which the YouTuber responded: "I asked everyone who I signed 'are you keeping it or selling it' they all said keeping... so this guys a filthy liar".

PC gamers climb fence of next-door kindergarten in Japan, after chaotic RTX 5090 lottery

Anthony Garreffa | Jan 30, 2025 7:07 PM CST

PC gamers have jumped the fence of a next-door kindergarten in Japan after a chaotic lottery to secure their new NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 graphics card... yikes.

PC gamers climb fence of next-door kindergarten in Japan, after chaotic RTX 5090 lottery

Japanese media reports that one of the lotteries run by PC Koubou started at around 3 PM local time, and it ended in a mess. PC gamers were climbing over a fence of a kindergarten nearby, with screams heard, and a photo of a destroyed kindergarten sign. The RTX 5090 lottery ended before most attendees arrived, which saw PC gamers mad and upset at the venue.

In a post on X, "sarasteam0151" posted some photos from the RTX 5090 lottery in Japan, explaining (machine translation): "the PC Koubou Parts Hall has started calling for entries for a lottery to purchase the RTX 5090, but the situation is currently in chaos. Angry shouts were heard, and some people even climbed over the fence of the kindergarten next door".

3DMark's DLSS feature test gets upgraded, now supports NVIDIA's new DLSS 4 upscaling

Anthony Garreffa | Jan 30, 2025 6:06 PM CST

UL Solutions has just announced a big update to 3DMark, adding support for NVIDIA's new DLSS 4 and DLSS Multi Frame Generation to the NVIDIA DLSS feature test.

3DMark's DLSS feature test gets upgraded, now supports NVIDIA's new DLSS 4 upscaling

The upgraded NVIDIA DLSS feature test was developed in partnership with NVIDIA, letting you compare performance and image quality when enabling DLSS processing. If you've got one of NVIDIA's new GeForce RTX 50 series GPUs, you'll be able to compare performance with and without the full capabilities of DLSS 4 upscaling.

The company explains: "The NVIDIA DLSS feature test is based on the 3DMark Port Royal ray tracing benchmark. The test runs in two passes. The first pass renders Port Royal with DLSS disabled to measure baseline performance. The second pass renders Port Royal at a lower resolution then uses DLSS processing to create frames at the output resolution. The result screen reports the frame rate for each run. For more details about the NVIDIA DLSS feature test, see our 3DMark user guide".

ASUS GeForce RTX 5090, RTX 5080 launch pricing is here: ROG Astral PC RTX 5090 costs $3099

Anthony Garreffa | Jan 30, 2025 4:44 PM CST

ASUS has revealed the launch pricing of its new custom GeForce RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 graphics cards, with the PRIME RTX 5080 starting at $999 (special launch pricing) while the new flagship ROG Astral LC RTX 5090 costs and eye-watering $3099.

ASUS GeForce RTX 5090, RTX 5080 launch pricing is here: ROG Astral PC RTX 5090 costs $3099

In a new report from VC, we're learning that ASUS has suggested retail pricing but "retailers may impose their own margins", adding that "typically, this isn't an issue immediately at launch but becomes one shortly after. This is because many board partners work directly with large retailers, who are politely asked not to sell cards at higher prices. However, these agreements usually don't last long".

ASUS has since confirmed the MSRP models and which ones will cost up to 50% more than NVIDIA's suggested pricing, with ASUS's new flagship ROG Astral LC GeForce RTX 5090 OC Edition costing a whopping $3099, down to the starting price of the PRIME RTX 5080 at $999 (special launch pricing) or $1199 post-launch.

NVIDIA reveals a surprise: Smooth Motion frame gen for all games, but it's RTX 5000 GPUs only

Darren Allan | Jan 30, 2025 2:03 PM CST

NVIDIA has released a new graphics driver for its RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 GPUs which came out today - well, which sold out today - alongside a big update for the NVIDIA App that packs an interesting surprise.

 NVIDIA reveals a surprise: Smooth Motion frame gen for all games, but it's RTX 5000 GPUs only

Team Green announced support for its Blackwell graphics cards in the new driver, which is a given - those who were lucky enough to get one would be a bit stuck without that - and DLSS 4 officially came into play.

To begin with, there are 75 games (and apps) which support DLSS 4, and all RTX graphics cards can benefit from this - except for the MFG component, the new Multi Frame Generation feature, which is for RTX 5000 GPUs only.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 launch supply leaks: is 'basically non-existent', one store has 0 stock

Anthony Garreffa | Jan 30, 2025 2:02 AM CST

NVIDIA's new GeForce RTX 5090 and GeForce RTX 5080 graphics cards are nearly here... but it looks like US launch supply is "basically non-existent" and that there could be less than 1000 of the flagship RTX 5090s available in the USA according to the latest leaks.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 launch supply leaks: is 'basically non-existent', one store has 0 stock

In a new video posted by leaker Moore's Law is Dead, who spoke with multiple sources that work at large US retailers, the situation seems pretty bleak for PC gamers. If you thought the stock situation of the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 was bad, this would be really bad... less than 1000 of NVIDIA's new flagship GeForce RTX 5090 graphics cards, ouch.

Source 1: "At least as of this evening (1/29/25), we (major US retailer) have ZERO 5090s in store. Now that could change, we have had last minute deliveries on launch days before, but right now it almost seems we might not get any significant amount of 5090s until March".

AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT performance leaks: less than 10% slower than RTX 5080 in 4K gaming

Anthony Garreffa | Jan 29, 2025 9:19 PM CST

NVIDIA's new GeForce RTX 5080 graphics card just launched, and now we've got some performance targets from AMD for its new Radeon RX 9070 XT and Radeon RX 9070 graphics cards... where it looks like we can expect the RX 9070 XT to fall inside of 10% of the performance of the RTX 5080.

AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT performance leaks: less than 10% slower than RTX 5080 in 4K gaming

In a new video from leaker Moore's Law is Dead who has gone through GeForce RTX 5080 reviews and overlayed the performance targets for the new RDNA 4-powered Radeon RX 9070 XT and RX 9070 in 4K gaming, when looked at from HBU's review data from 17 game average performance at 4K, we can expect the new RX 9070 XT to have performance that's within 10% of the RTX 5080.

This means that AMD's new flagship Radeon RX 9070 XT could get pretty damn close to the 4K gaming performance of the RTX 5080, and if sold at $599 to $649, could really stir up the gaming GPU market. Furthermore, the Radeon RX 9070 non-XT should have 4K gaming performance that'll sit above the RTX 5070 and below the RTX 5070 Ti... right in the middle, in fact, and just under the RDNA 3-based Radeon RX 7900 XT.
