Graphics Cards - Page 52

Enthusiast GPUs have been getting bigger and bigger, with many requiring new anti-sag designs and brackets to support their size and weight. The good news is that we will see sleeker and more compact designs with NVIDIA's new Blackwell-powered GeForce RTX 50 Series, as seen in MSI's line-up of GeForce RTX 5080 graphics cards - unveiled at CES 2025.

This can be seen in MSI's brand-new GeForce RTX 5080 16G INSPIRE 3X OC graphics card. It's SFF-Ready, so it's only 2.5 slots thick, and it features a minimal design with a brushed metal backplate and an overall look that will please those looking for a GPU that isn't all about the PC gamer aesthetic.

It also features MSI's new STORMFORCE fans with claw texturing, designed to optimize airflow and keep noise levels down. This is impressive stuff, especially when you consider that the GeForce RTX 5080 will be a capable 4K gaming GPU thanks to the new architecture, DLSS 4, and 16GB of fast GDDR7 memory.

Built on NVIDIA's latest Blackwell architecture, the new flagship GeForce RTX 5090 is an absolute beast. With 32GB of super-fast GDDR7 memory, 21760 CUDA Cores, and an incredible 3352 AI TOPS of performance, the new DLSS 4 can deliver a 2X increase in in-game performance compared to the GeForce RTX 4090 - a card that is still a 4K beast.

The GeForce RTX 5090 will be able to run intensive Path Tracing games like Alan Wake 2, Black Myth: Wukong, and more at 4K 240 FPS with DLSS 4. As one of NVIDIA's key partners, MSI has several impressive GeForce RTX 5090 GPUs coming, including the brand-new GeForce RTX 5090 32G VANGUARD OC. More on this one in a bit.

First up, though, which you can see in the images above - you've got the GeForce RTX 5090 32G SUPRIM LIQUID OC. A closed-loop liquid-cooled RTX 5090 with a patented waterblock design was created to optimize GPU and VRAM cooling. There's also a 360mm aluminum radiator, a micro-fin copper base, and an integrated STORMFORCE fan. It's a beast.

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.

AMD has been playing its graphics cards close to its chest with the RDNA 4 launch so far - probably waiting for NVIDIA to tip its Blackwell hand, at least pricing-wise, which has now happened - but we've been treated to a couple of interesting hints on the next-gen Radeon offerings courtesy of Team Red's partners.

VideoCardz noticed that XFX's Instagram (for the middle east) posted that something is "coming soon," providing a date of January 24 - and one of the hashtags is Navi 48 (RX 9070) GPUs. That seems to be a hefty hint that this will be when some kind of announcement about these XFX graphics cards occurs, or maybe even the release date.

On top of that, yesterday ASUS provided some details of its RX 9070 TUF and Prime models (XT and the vanilla versions), stating that these GPUs are equipped with 16GB of VRAM - something AMD has yet to officially reveal. (But this does align with rumors, too, it should be noted).

NVIDIA has just wrapped up its CES 2025 keynote where it announced four new GPUs as part of the new RTX 50 series family of graphics cards.

Among the selection of new GPUs was the RTX 5070, which easily stole the show for its impressive price of $549 and its touted performance of an RTX 4090. According to NVIDIA, the new middle-of-the-pack GPU will be as powerful as a RTX 4090, which retailed for $1599. But how is this possible? NVIDIA says it will come down to DLSS 4 and new MultiFrame Generation technology, which will provide an enormous performance boost of 8x compared to native rendering.

Now, you are probably thinking, "how many games will have DLSS 4?" According to NVIDIA atotal of 75 games will have support for DLSS 4 at launch, and this selection of games aren't games nobody has heard of as it includes popular titles such as Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, the upcoming DOOM Dark Ages, Cyberpunk 2077, Stalker 2, Silent Hill 2, God of War Ragnarok, and many more.

NVIDIA has finally revealed the GeForce RTX 50 Series and the Blackwell generation will launch with DLSS 4, which introduces DLSS Multi Frame Generation. How does this differ from DLSS 3's Frame Generation? Well, where DLSS 3's AI generated a single frame, DLSS 4's Multi Frame Generation AI renders three.

It also lowers the VRAM requirement, thanks to GeForce RTX 50 Series' 5th Generation Tensor Cores, which deliver up to 2.5X more AI processing performance. With Super Resolution and Ray Reconstruction, path-traced games like Alan Wake 2 and Black Myth: Wukong will run at 240 FPS - a staggering 8.2X increase over native rendering.

AI is all about making the impossible possible, and path-tracing or full ray-tracing is so hardware-intensive that it's only possible thanks to DLSS and AI technologies. Not only that, but DLSS 4 is coming to 75 games and apps on day one - and, yes, it looks like it will be exclusive to the GeForce RTX 50 Series.

NVIDIA has formally announced the GeForce RTX 50 Series, powered by Blackwell and incredible new AI rendering features like Neural Shaders and DLSS 4. The flagship GeForce RTX 5090, presented by NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang at CES 2025 in sleek, cutting-edge Founders Edition form, delivers a 2X performance increase over the RTX 40 Series and will ship with an MSRP of $1999.

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.

NVIDIA has unleashed its new GeForce RTX 50 Laptop GPUs, with the new Blackwell Max-Q designs detailed by NVIDIA promising some huge efficiency, performance, and innovations coming to gaming laptops in 2025.

The company says that its new Blackwell Max-Q chips have been designed from the ground up for efficiency, delivering a "massive leap" in performance and battery life. NVIDIA says that there are a number of Max-Q innovations in the Blackwell architecture that combine to make this possible.

NVIDIA starts with Advanced Power Gating technologies that greatly reduce power by rapidly toggling unused parts of the GPU, with Blackwell having "significantly faster" low-power states. Low Latency Sleep allows Blackwell Max-Q GPUs to go to sleep more often, saving power even when the GPU is being used. This reduces power for gaming, Small Language Models (SLMs), and other creator and AI workloads on battery.

NVIDIA has just announced its new GeForce RTX 50 "Blackwell" GPUs in both desktop and laptop form, with the new Blackwell GPU architecture supporting the new DisplayPort 2.1b specification.

VESA announced the new DisplayPort 2.1b specification hours before at CES 2025, in which it collaborated with NVIDIA on the new DP2.1b UHBR20 standard. NVIDIA posted a detailed article deep diving on its new GeForce RTX 50 series GPUs, noting that Blackwell has also been enhanced with PCIe Gen5 and DisplayPort 2.1b UHBR20, capable of driving displays at up to a mind-boggling 8K 165Hz.

This is thanks to multiple innovations inside and around Blackwell, which features up to 92 billion transistors, up to 32GB of super-fast GDDR7 memory (on the flagship ultra-enthusiast GeForce RTX 5090), new Blackwell Tensor Cores, Blackwell-enhanced RT Cores, next-gen DLSS Multi Frame Generation, and new Blackwell-powered AI upscaling with DLSS 4.

NVIDIA has just unveiled its new GeForce RTX 50 series "Blackwell" desktop and laptop GPUs, with the introduction of the GeForce RTX 5090, RTX 5080, RTX 5070 Ti, and RTX 5070 Laptop GPUs.

The new NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Laptop GPU-powered gaming laptops will start from $2899, with RTX 5080 Laptop GPU-powered gaming laptops starting at $2199. Under that, starting at $1599 we've got the RTX 5070 Ti Laptop GPU inside of new gaming laptops, while starting from $1299 there'll be RTX 5070 Laptop GPU-powered gaming laptops... damn.

The $1299 entry point for a GeForce RTX 5070 Laptop GPU-powered gaming laptop is fantastic, considering it offers RTX 4090 levels of performance for half the power consumption... the perfect, and potent mix for 2025 gaming laptops.

From Jan 7th to 10th, the Consumer Electronics Show will showcase the tech industry's sharpest minds and cutting edge breakthroughs. Featuring industry giants including NVIDIA, AMD, Intel and Sony - the schedule will be jam packed with exciting new advancements in tech.

The TweakTown team will be on-site to bring you all the latest direct from the show. So you can follow along from home, this guide will provide you with everything you need to know. From the schedule, to details on how to live-stream, and what to look out for.

CES 2025 is about to kick off, and this year is undoubtedly going to be a massive one with companies such as NVIDIA preparing to unveil its latest generated of GPUs powered by the company's impressive Blackwell architecture, along with AMD unveiling its new line of Ryzen CPUs, and Intel showcasing its competing Core Ultra chips.

Intel recently launched its first second-gen Battlemage desktop gaming GPU, the Intel Arc B580, which is competitively priced at $249. With stable drivers and software and massive architectural improvements compared to the first-gen Arc cards, the Arc B580 is selling out due to the positive response.

Michelle Johnston Holthaus, interim co-CEO of Intel and CEO of Intel Products, said during the company's big CES 2025 keynote that the reception to the B580 has been "nothing short of fantastic." And it's not hard to see why, in our in-depth review of the Intel Arc B580, we praised its GeForce RTX 4060-beating performance - where it also outpaced NVIDIA's mainstream entry in games with raytracing.

Although Intel didn't announce that it would release a more powerful Intel Arc B750 or B770, it will launch the entry-level B570 next week. Intel also reassured everyone that it has no plans to exit the desktop GPU market anytime soon.

AMD officially announced its next-gen RDNA 4 graphics architecture at CES 2025, complete with "supercharged" AI hardware and other upgrades. It's set to debut in the desktop gaming market with the Radeon RX 9070 XT and Radeon RX 9070 in Q1 2025, with the company focusing on these GPUs' AI capabilities with FSR 4 and new features for its Adrenalin software and driver.

These new AI features will run locally on RDNA 4 GPUs with 'AMD Chat,' which allows users to learn more about their AMD products, including information on how to get the best performance out of their Radeon RX 9070 XT and Radeon RX 9070 GPUs. This very cool feature should tie into Adrenaline's suite of FidelityFX, HYPR-RX, and overclocking capabilities.

Adrenalin's AI features and capabilities go beyond adding a helpful AI to chat with; there's more cool stuff on the way.

AMD is changing its GPU naming with the announcement of its next-generation RDNA 4 GPUs at CES 2025. Starting with the flagship Radeon RX 9070 XT and 9070, which will be followed by the Radeon RX 9060 Series, the reason for the name change comes down to two things.

First, calling it the Radeon RX 9000 Series brings the naming in line with the current desktop Ryzen 9000 Series for brand synergy. Second, the decision to change what would have been the Radeon RX 8800 XT (if it followed the same naming convention as the Radeon RX 6800 XT and 7800 XT) to the Radeon RX 9070 XT will make the process of purchasing a brand new GPU easier for the consumer by matching the competition - aka NVIDIA.

This means the Radeon RX 9070 XT and 9070 will be positioned as alternatives to the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER and GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER, as well as the upcoming GeForce RTX 5070 and GeForce RTX 5070 Ti - which are expected to launch in February.

AMD announced its next-generation RDNA 4 graphics architecture at CES 2025. The first two desktop GPUs to utilize the new tech are the Radeon RX 9070 XT and the Radeon RX 9070.

AMD confirms that RDNA 4 features optimized compute units (CUs) compared to previous generations like RDNA 3, "supercharged" AI, improved raytracing performance per CU, and better media encoding quality for creators. In addition, RDNA 4 will see the debut of AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution 4, which is embracing AI for high-quality 4K upscaling and Frame Generation.

The FSR 4 teaser includes an image of Activision's Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, so we can expect this to be one of the first titles to include FSR 4. Unfortunately, during the CES 2025 pre-briefing, AMD did not provide performance benchmarks, release dates, or in-depth details for the new RDNA 4 GPUs. More information is coming later this quarter.

We are on the eve of NVIDIA's huge unveiling of the next-generation GeForce RTX 50 series GPUs, and now we get to have an early gander at GAINWARD's custom GeForce RTX 5080 16GB graphics card. Check it out:

GAINWARD's new custom GeForce RTX 5080 retail packaging leak shows us just what we need to know (and has already been rumored, leaked, drip fed to us for months now) that the RTX 5080 ships with 16GB of GDDR7 memory. The new ultra-enthusiast flagship GeForce RTX 5090 has been confirmed with a monster 32GB of GDDR7 memory.

The first Blackwell gaming GPU to launch will be the GeForce RTX 5080 which will feature 16GB of new GDDR7 memory clocked at up to 32Gbps (30Gbps is expected) on a 256-bit memory bus, which will result in up to 960GB/sec of memory bandwidth, which means the RTX 5080 has virtually as much memory bandwidth as the current-gen flagship RTX 4090 24GB.

AMD will host its CES 2025 press conference on January 6 at 11:00am to 11:45am PST, where you can tune into the livestream below frorm the comfort of your lounge, chair, or bed.

The company will be unveiling its new RDNA 4 GPU architecture, new Radeon RX 9000 series GPUs with the Radeon RX 9070 XT and Radeon RX 9070, new FSR 4 upscaling technology, new Ryzen CPUs, and so much more. We'll be introduced to the higher-end X3D desktop processors with Ryzen 9 9950X3D and Ryzen 9 9900X3D, as well as mobile HX3D variants with the flagship Ryzen 9 9955HX3D.

We should also be introduced to the new Krackan Point APU, featuring Zen 5c CPU cores and RDNA 3.5 GPU corers, inside of the new APU that will feature an NPU with up to 40 TOPS for AI workloads on Copilot+ systems. AMD is also expected to unveil its new Strix Halo APU that will sport a huge 16 cores and 32 threads of Zen 5 processing power, joined by a far beefier RDNA 3.5-based GPU with 40 Compute Units (compared to Strix Point with 16 Compute Units).

NVIDIA's new GeForce RTX 5090 has been rumored to sport an incredible 32GB of GDDR7 memory, but now it's been confirmed thanks to Inno3D.

The folks over at VideoCardz have the scoop on Inno3D's upcoming flagship GeForce RTX 5090 iChill X3 graphics card, a chunky 3.5-slot card that will keep that huge GB202 and massive amount of GDDR7 memory nice and cool. We only have a single picture to go by, with no shot of the power connector setup, but you can see that it says 32GB GDRR7 memory on the box.

NVIDIA's flagship ultra-enthusiast GeForce RTX 5090 will feature the GB202 GPU with the full 21,760 CUDA cores (and the first GeForce GPU to sport over 20,000 CUDA cores). We'll have 32GB of ultra-fast GDDR7 memory on a 512-bit memory bus and 1.79TB/sec of memory bandwidth, at a 575W TDP.

NVIDIA will kick off its CES 2025 press conference unveiling the next-generation GeForce RTX 50 series GPUs, a host of updates on AI, and hopefully a tease of their Arm-based AI PC processor, and I'm sure oh-so-much more... all of which you'll be able to watch from the comfort of your chair at home... and right here when the CES 2025 presentation begins.

The NVIDIA CES 2025 keynote will take place at the Mandalay Bay Michelob ULTRA Arena between 6:30 and 7:30pm PST, where we'll be on the ground gathering you all of the new products and announcements. The big one here is NVIDIA's next-generation GeForce RTX 50 series "Blackwell" desktop graphics cards, and the RTX 50 series Laptop GPUs that will power a new wave of next-gen gaming laptops.

NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang will take the stage at CES 2025 unveiling the company's new graphics cards and other products and advancements -- DLSS 4, new ray tracing technologies -- and what I'm sure is going to be a mountain about AI. The company has over 90% of the AI GPU market share, and has ballooned into the most valuable company in the world overtaking Apple at over $3.3 trillion.

NVIDIA is ramping up to CES 2025 with GeForce Giveaways, with the one today being the GeForce 8800 Ultra, the first CUDA GPU, signed by CEO Jensen Huang and is being given away on X. Check out the post below:

All you have to do is comment on the post on X with #GeForceGreats and you're in the running, where you will get the GeForce 8800 Ultra graphics card signed by NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang. The NVIDIA GeForce 8800 Ultra used the G80 GPU architecture that supported DirectX 10 at the time.

The G80 GPU had 128 CUDA cores, a GPU clock of a blistering (for at the time) 612MHz, and 768MB of GDDR3 memory on a 384-bit memory bus providing up to 103.7GB/sec of memory bandwidth. Just look at those specs compared to the about-to-be-launched GeForce RTX 5090 that will have 20,000+ CUDA cores, and 32GB of GDDR7 memory.
