NVIDIA plans January launch for GeForce RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 graphics cards

NVIDIA plans to launch its new GeForce RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 graphics cards at CES 2025, with availability expected in late January. The RTX 5090 may be priced around $1999, featuring 32GB of GDDR7 memory and over 20,000 CUDA cores. Sources indicate that the RTX 5090 will offer significant performance improvements, including up to 2.0TB/sec memory bandwidth and enhanced ray tracing capabilities. The new cards are designed for high-end gaming, particularly at 4K resolutions. Additionally, NVIDIA is expected to tease the RTX 5070 series during the same event. The company suggests that the higher-end models are aimed at professional users, which may lead to increased pricing for the RTX 5080 and RTX 5090.
