Nvidia unveils RTX 5000 GPUs with advanced AI texture compression at CES 2025

Nvidia has introduced new RTX 5000 graphics cards at CES 2025, featuring advanced technology to enhance performance. A key development is RTX Neural Texture Compression, which allows more textures to fit into the available VRAM, saving up to seven times more memory. This technology addresses concerns about the lower VRAM allocations in the RTX 5000 series. The RTX 5070 has 12GB and the RTX 5080 has 16GB, but the new compression method aims to maximize their efficiency. Additionally, Nvidia announced RTX Neural Materials and RTX Neural Radiance Cache to improve shader processing and ray tracing performance. These innovations are part of a broader effort to enhance gaming experiences with the new graphics cards.
