Less than a month ago International Consumer Electronics Show 2025, NVIDIA Released the first teaser of the upcoming RTX 50 series GPUs – powered by the Blackwell architecture. According to rumorsNvidia CEO Jen-Hsun Huang will take the stage to unveil the next-generation RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 GPUs at 6:30 pm Pacific time on January 6. Additionally, at the 2024 TGA (The Game Awards), the trailer for the upcoming movie The Witcher 4 has been revealed and is said to be rendering on an unreleased RTX 50 GPU – possibly the RTX 5090.
Nvidia has launched a new “GeForce Hype Meter” social media campaign, running now until Jensen’s keynote next month. With the slogan “The more engagement, the better,” users are encouraged to earn special prizes by interacting with their posts. To get gamers excited for the RTX 50 reveal, Nvidia will re-launch the GeForce LAN-50 stand-in keynote and the hours leading up to the RTX 50 series starting at 4:30 PM PT on January 4.

CD Projekt also hinted at Nvidia’s RTX 50 Blackwell GPU at last night’s Game Awards. footnote at the beginning trailer “The Witcher IV” writes, “The movie trailer is pre-rendered in Unreal Engine 5 on an unreleased Nvidia GeForce RTX GPU,” which is not difficult to infer that this is an allusion to the upcoming RTX 5090.
Blackwell should offer more power than Ada Lovelace in gaming, productivity, and artificial intelligence acceleration. Similar to the server side, we may see native support for FP4 and FP6 data types in the Tensor core and better ray tracing capabilities. Nvidia will likely leverage TSMC’s 4NP (5 nanometer class) node for Blackwell desktops – if we take server grade Blackwell products (B100/B200), they are 30% denser than 4N.
Judging from the specifications, the RTX 5090 will use what is said to be Nvidia’s GB202 GPU largest consumer chip Since 2018, there are 170 enabled SMs (192 total) or 21,760 CUDA cores. also, leakage The RTX 5090 is expected to consume nearly 600W of power, so it comes with 32GB of GDDR7 memory and a large 512-bit interface. The GB203-powered RTX 5080 may have less than half the die size of the RTX 5090, with just 84 SMs or 10,752 CUDA cores, and 16GB of memory, but the power rating remains a robust 400W – just enough to keep you going the entire time. Comfortable.
rumor The RTX 50 family is said to debut in January with the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080. The RTX 5070 and 5070 Ti are expected to launch in February, and the RTX 5060 series will launch in April. Currently, we have no information on the pricing structure of these GPUs, so it’s best to wait for an official announcement.
