The next-generation GeForce RTX GPUs will deliver visual realism and up to double the performance, driven by advancements in AI, Neural Shaders and DLSS 4 technology.
Nvidia has launched its most advanced consumer GPUs to date, the GeForce RTX 50 Series for desktops and laptops, powered by the cutting-edge NVIDIA Blackwell architecture. Designed to elevate gaming, creative workflows and development, these GPUs introduce revolutionary advancements in AI-driven rendering, including neural shaders, digital human technologies and enhanced geometry and lighting capabilities.
Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of Nvidia, said: “Blackwell, the engine of AI, has arrived for PC gamers, developers and creatives. Fusing AI-driven neural rendering and ray tracing, Blackwell is the most significant computer graphics innovation since we introduced programmable shading 25 years ago.”
The flagship GeForce RTX 5090 GPU boasts 92bn transistors and delivers over 3,352tn AI operations per second (TOPS), doubling the performance of its predecessor, the RTX 4090. On laptops, the Blackwell architecture brings desktop-level features with NVIDIA Max-Q technology, extending battery life by 40% and enabling slim yet powerful designs.
The RTX 50 Series introduces DLSS 4, which uses AI to generate up to three frames per rendered frame, enhancing performance up to 8x while maintaining responsiveness with NVIDIA Reflex technology. New transformer-based DLSS models provide superior stability, reduced ghosting and improved details, and will be supported in over 75 games at launch.
NVIDIA Reflex 2 debuts Frame Warp, a latency-reduction technique that updates frames based on the latest mouse inputs, improving responsiveness in competitive and single-player games alike.
The RTX 50 Series brings RTX Neural Shaders to programmable shaders, unlocking film-quality lighting and materials in real-time. Digital human rendering is enhanced with RTX Neural Faces and ray-traced hair and skin technologies, achieving lifelike characters and environments. New RTX Mega Geometry supports up to 100x more ray-traced triangles, enabling unprecedented realism.
The RTX 50 Series enables advanced AI applications, from autonomous in-game characters powered by Nvidia ACE to generative AI models running locally. Nvidia ACE technologies are integrated into titles like PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS and MIR5, delivering characters and raid bosses with adaptive, human-like behaviour.
Project R2X, an AI-driven PC avatar previewed by NVIDIA, showcases the potential of RTX AI PCs, offering users assistance with tasks like document summarization, app navigation, and video conferencing.
The RTX 50 Series GPUs support FP4 precision, doubling performance for AI image generation and reducing memory requirements for generative models. Nvidia Broadcast introduces AI-powered features like Studio Voice for audio enhancement and Virtual Key Light for professional-grade livestreaming.
The GeForce RTX 50 Series GPUs, combined with NVIDIA’s NIM microservices and AI Blueprints, are set to redefine what’s possible in gaming, AI development, and creative fields. As NVIDIA continues to push boundaries, the RTX 50 Series represents a transformative leap in performance, realism, and versatility.
For desktop users, the GeForce RTX 5090 GPU with 3,352 AI TOPS and the GeForce RTX 5080 GPU with 1,801 AI TOPS will be available on Jan. 30 at $1,999 and $999, respectively.
The GeForce RTX 5070 Ti GPU with 1,406 AI TOPS and GeForce RTX 5070 GPU with 988 AI TOPS will be available starting in February at $749 and $549, respectively.
The NVIDIA Founders Editions of the GeForce RTX 5090, RTX 5080 and RTX 5070 GPUs will be available directly from nvidia.com and select retailers worldwide.
Stock-clocked and factory-overclocked models will be available from top add-in card providers such as ASUS, Colorful, Gainward, GALAX, GIGABYTE, INNO3D, KFA2, MSI, Palit, PNY and ZOTAC, and in desktops from system builders including Falcon Northwest, Infiniarc, MAINGEAR, Mifcom, ORIGIN PC, PC Specialist and Scan Computers.
Laptops with GeForce RTX 5090, RTX 5080 and RTX 5070 Ti Laptop GPUs will be available starting in March, and RTX 5070 Laptop GPUs will be available starting in April from the world’s top manufacturers, including Acer, ASUS, Dell, GIGABYTE, HP, Lenovo, MECHREVO, MSI and Razer.
