NVIDIA is set to launch the highly anticipated GeForce RTX 50 “Blackwell” trio at CES 2025, featuring the RTX 5090, RTX 5080, and RTX 5070 GPUs. This launch is expected to kickstart the next era of high-performance PC graphics, and CEO Jensen Huang will be hosting NVIDIA’s CES 2025 keynote to showcase these new technologies.
In the past, NVIDIA has introduced the RTX 40 SUPER series, RTX 4070 Ti, RTX 3090 Ti, and RTX 3060 at previous CES events. However, this time, the focus will be on the next-generation Blackwell series. Let’s delve into the details of each GPU that will be unveiled.
Starting with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090, this top-of-the-line GPU is expected to feature the PG144/145-SKU30 PCB design with the GB202-300-A1 GPU core. With 32 GB of GDDR7 VRAM running across a 512-bit interface, the RTX 5090 is set to deliver exceptional performance. Additionally, new memory compression techniques and a larger L3 cache will enhance the overall bandwidth available to the GPU.
Moving on to the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080, this GPU will utilize the full GB203 GPU die with 84 SMs and 10,752 cores. It will feature 16 GB of GDDR7 memory running on a 256-bit bus interface, offering up to 32 Gbps speeds for 1024 GB/s of total bandwidth. The RTX 5080 will have a 400W TBP, providing a significant boost in power.
Lastly, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 will come with the GB205 GPU on the PG147 reference PCB. While specific core configurations are not yet available, the RTX 5070 will feature a 192-bit bus interface with 12 GB of memory, delivering increased bandwidth compared to previous models.
It’s worth noting that NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 50 GPUs will implement changes to the PCB back-drilling process to enhance signal integrity between the GPU and GDDR7 VRAM. The lineup is expected to feature a 14-layer PCB, PCIe 5.0 compliance, and support for DP2.1a with full 80 Gbps bandwidth.
With the announcement of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50 “Blackwell” GPUs at CES 2025, gamers can look forward to cutting-edge technologies and improved performance. Stay tuned for more updates on these exciting new graphics cards.
