Nvidia at the moment introduced the GeForce RTX 50 collection, the corporate’s subsequent era of desktop and cell graphics processors. Primarily based on the newest Blackwell structure, the product stack presently contains the RTX 5090, the RTX 5080, the RTX 5070 Ti, and the RTX 5070 in each desktop and cell variants.
The 4 GPUs have apparent spec variations however let’s deal with issues which are widespread first. All new Blackwell GPUs are constructed on the TSMC 4NP course of. They function new fifth era Tensor cores and 4th era ray tracing cores. There’s a more moderen ninth gen NVENC encoder and sixth gen NVDEC decoder.

All 4 introduced fashions function sooner GDDR7 reminiscence. Connectivity has improved, with all playing cards supporting PCIe 5.0 together with the newest DisplayPort 2.1b UHBR20 (80Gbps) and HDMI 2.1b (48Gbps). All 50-series playing cards will even assist DLSS 4 together with an upcoming Reflex 2 with Body Warp.
The flagship RTX 5090 has 32% extra CUDA cores than the RTX 4090 with 154% larger AI TOPS and 66% larger ray tracing TFLOPS. You additionally get 8GB extra video reminiscence that’s additionally sooner on a 512-bit reminiscence bus. Energy consumption has additionally gone up, with Nvidia concentrating on 575W for the 5090 though the brand new Founder’s Version card in some way solely makes use of a dual-slot design with double flow-through followers.
The RTX 5090 is available in at an eye-watering $1999, 33% greater than the RTX 4090 value. Will probably be obtainable beginning January 30.
The RTX 5080 contains a modest 5% improve in CUDA core depend over the 4080 Tremendous and equally smaller will increase comparatively in Tensor and ray tracing efficiency over the 5090. Reminiscence additionally stays at 16GB however with sooner GDDR7 on the identical 256-bit reminiscence bus. As you possibly can think about, energy has additionally seen a comparatively small improve, going from 320W of the 4080 Tremendous to 360W.
The RTX 5080 is priced at $999, the identical because the RTX 4080 Tremendous and fewer than the $1199 launch value of the RTX 4080. The 5080 will even be obtainable beginning January 30.
Lastly, the RTX 5070 Ti is available in at $749, $50 lower than the launch costs of the 4070 Ti and the 4070 Ti Tremendous whereas the RTX 5070 is available in at $549, $50 lower than the 4070 Tremendous and similar because the 4070. The 5070 Ti and the 5070 can be obtainable in February.
Nvidia additionally introduced DLSS 4, which is the newest era of Nvidia’s Deep Studying Tremendous Sampling picture reconstruction method. The principle new part of DLSS 4 is multi-frame era, which works from inserting a single AI generated body to producing and inserting three AI generated frames between each two historically generated frames. The method leverages the considerably improved Tensor processing of the 50-series playing cards to generate these new frames with larger precision and high quality than earlier than. As such, this function is just obtainable on the 50-series playing cards.
Nevertheless, Nvidia can also be enhancing the DLSS expertise on older RTX playing cards. A brand new enhanced single body era function improves the standard of the single-frame body era function on RTX 50 and 40-series playing cards, which will increase the body fee additional whereas additionally decreasing VRAM utilization.
The corporate can also be switching away from CNN-based mannequin to transformer-based mannequin for options akin to ray reconstruction, tremendous decision, and DLAA. The result’s a picture with better picture element and extra temporal stability, decreasing artifacts akin to ghosting, aliasing, and smearing in reconstructed pictures. These new DLSS 4 enhancements are coming to all RTX playing cards, all the best way again to 20-series. Customers may also simply allow these options in present video games by way of the Nvidia app with out having to attend for recreation updates.
DLSS 4 with multi-frame era can be obtainable in 75 apps and video games, together with Unreal Engine 5, on day 0. Customers may also allow this function in video games that haven’t been up to date by way of the Nvidia app utilizing the brand new DLSS Override function.
