TECH NEWS – Nvidia will reportedly not launch the flagship Blackwell architecture card first, so a weaker graphics card will go public first…

The GeForce RTX 5000 graphics cards will be unveiled soon, as the tech industry’s equivalent of E3, CES, will be held early next year. That’s where Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang will be speaking, and that’s where the lid will come off on the new series. The RTX 5090, RTX 5080 and RTX 5070 will be shown here, and there will also be a laptop variant of the GPUs. However, WCCFTech has more detailed information about the debut of the cards.

The first graphics card to be released in January will not be the GeForce RTX 5090! The RTX 5080 will be the first swallow. It will have 16 GB of GDDR7 VRAM at a speed of 32 Gbps and will be released in mid-January. When the Ada Lovelace debuted, the RTX 4090 was the first card to hit stores. The strategy was probably changed because the RTX 4090 shock was more popular than the RTX 4080, and the latter’s price/performance ratio only improved with the Super model.

The RTX 5090 will be released a few weeks later. It and the slightly scaled-down RTX 5090 D for the Chinese market will also debut in late January or mid-February at the latest. The flagship will probably be capable of huge performance again (with questionable power consumption), and neither AMD nor Intel will want to compete with it. They will rather target the mainstream segment. Intel, with a market share of 0% (!), has already attracted a lot of attention with the Arc B580 in the $250 price range…

Nvidia will also sell the GeForce RTX 5080 in the Founders Edition format, but of course manufacturers (Gigabyte, MSI, Asus, etc…) will also come up with their own models. The only question now is in which price range Nvidia’s new graphics cards will come…
