Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 5000-series is set to be announced at CES, with the first card expected to hit shelves on January 21. The RTX 5080, previously rumored, will likely be the initial model available for purchase, followed by other cards such as the RTX 5090 and 5070 Ti.
According to a Twitter user, Jan. 21 is the confirmed release date for the RTX 5080. However, no information was provided on other models or their potential launch dates. Analysts believe that if the RTX 5080 launches first, it could suggest a similar timeline for other models like the RTX 5090, potentially launching in mid-February to early March.
Pricing is also expected to be announced next week, with rumors suggesting the RTX 5080 and RTX 5090 could cost up to $1,500 and $2,500, respectively. The RTX 5000 series is likely to dominate the high-end market, with AMD focusing on value and gaining market share.
Key specifications for each model include:
– RTX 5080: 16GB of GDDR6 memory
– RTX 5090: 32GB of GDDR7 memory, PCIe 5.0 support, and a single 600W connector
The RTX 5060 is expected to retain its 8GB of memory from the previous model, while other models may require more power to operate. As CES approaches, expect more news and leaks on Nvidia’s hardware announcements, including the GeForce RTX 5080.
