NVIDIA has launched its GeForce RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 graphics cards, built on the Blackwell architecture, to power generative AI content creation and accelerate creative performance. These GPUs feature fifth-generation Tensor Cores with support for FP4, reducing VRAM requirements while doubling performance.
The RTX 5090 GPU boasts 32GB of ultra-fast GDDR7 memory and a 77% bandwidth increase over the RTX 4090 GPU. The RTX 5080 GPU features 16GB of GDDR7 memory and a 34% increase in total memory bandwidth compared to the RTX 4080 GPU.
These GPUs also come with ninth-generation encoders, sixth-generation decoders, and fourth-generation RT Cores, providing creators with super-smooth 3D rendering viewports. Additionally, the GeForce RTX 50 Series GPUs include support for 4:2:2 hardware decoding, enabling smooth multi-camera video editing.
The latest NVIDIA Broadcast app update adds two new AI effects, Studio Voice and Virtual Key Light, requiring a GeForce RTX 4080 or higher GPU. The updated app also improves voice quality, gaze stability, and foreground/background separation.
For developers, the NVIDIA Maxine Windows SDKs allow for direct integration of these effects into applications. The January NVIDIA Studio Driver is available for installation today, supporting the GeForce RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 GPUs.
These new GPUs are designed to accelerate creative workflows in AI-enhanced content creation, video editing, and 3D art. With their improved performance and features, creators can now work on massive projects with smooth viewport movement and enhanced video quality.
