As CES approaches, we still have data on when Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 5000 series might be available. It’s expected to be announced at CES, which kicks off Jan. 7 in Las Vegas and is expected to include plenty of PC hardware announcements. It looks like the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 could hit the shelves a few weeks after the show, trashing last year’s RTX 4080 Super in the process.
Jan. 21 is the date given by Twitter user HKepcmedia (via Videocardz), who offered no more information about other models such as the RTX 5090, so for now it appears the RTX 5080 will be the first card you can buy, with other cards following. Unfortunately the Tweet has now been deleted so it’s not possible to show it here.
If the RTX 5080 arrives first, it suggests, based on the RTX 4000 card’s release schedule, that the RTX 5090 would launch about a month later, in mid-February or early March. This is a time frame compared to what we saw with the RTX 4090, which became available a few weeks after the initial announcement, followed by the RTX 4080 a month later and the RTX 4070 Ti.
The second card to be released turns out to be kept a month later, but on the third launch card with the RTX 4000 series two years ago, the RTX 4070 Ti, it took even longer and only appeared for 8 more weeks, albeit with Christmas. and the New. The year is in the middle. This would mean that we are unlikely to see an RTX 5070 Ti until April.
Pricing may also be announced next week, at least for the first wave of cards, which would likely come with the RTX 5080 and RTX 5090, which are said to charge up to $1,500 and $2,500, respectively. We hope the charges will be less exciting than that, but we hope to get some explanation when Nvidia makes the announcement.
The RTX 5000 series is unlikely to have a high-end competitor, as AMD will likely stick to RTX 4080 level functionality, but with market share in price and capture, starting with a Radeon RX 9070 XT. Memory capacity hasn’t increased much across the board, but the RTX 5090 will most likely provide a whopping 32GB of GDDR7 VRAM, with all models providing the same kind of reminiscence, as well as support for PCIe 5. 0. .
The RTX 5080 is expected to have 16GB, while the RTX 5070 Ti is also said to have 16GB. This is an improvement over the RTX 4070 Ti Super, but it is more than the RTX 4070 Ti. Meanwhile, at the back of the stack, the RTX 5060 is said to retain the same 8GB as its predecessor, which has been well received by some gamers and commentators.
While some of the new graphics cards would also use more power, a representative from Chinese power supply maker Segotep claimed that the RTX 5090 would use the same 16-pin 12VPWR connector as the RTX 4090, with a single six-hundredW connector enough for force the card.
There will most likely be more news and leaks over the next week as CES in Las Vegas approaches, and I’ll be covering the hardware launches announced at the event, adding the GeForce RTX 5080, so follow me here on Forbes the blue . button.
