"Today we are Big Thing Chief: The Stolen Wifeannouncing our next generation: the RTX Blackwell family."

What a way to open CES 2025, Jensen Huang.

Nvidia's newest GeForce RTX graphics cards may have leaked extensively ahead of the consumer tech event, but that doesn't make the company CEO's official announcement any less exciting for gamers, crypto miners, and people who do AI stuff.

During the PC hardware titan's CES keynote on Monday night, Nvidia finally pulled back the curtain on its highly anticipated RTX Blackwell 50-series graphics cards. The company confirmed the lineup will include the 5070, 5080, and 5090, with launch dates kicking off later this month.

Unsurprisingly, the cutting-edge performance won’t come cheap: the flagship 5090 starts at $1,999, followed by the 5080 at $999, the 5070 Ti at $799, and the 5070 at $549. That said, the 5070 and 5070 Ti are shaping up to be absolute bargains, packing 4090-level performance at a fraction of the price.

On the spec sheet, NVIDIA's RTX 50-series is an absolute beast. It boasts a staggering 4,000 TOPS, 380 RT TFLOPS, and 125 Shader TFLOPS, powered by an incredible 92 billion transistors. The card features G7 memory and delivers an eye-watering 1.8TB/s of memory bandwidth. Adding to its next-gen prowess is an AI-management processor, designed to optimize performance and efficiency in ways we’ve yet to see fully explored.
