Exciting news is swirling around about NVIDIA’s much-anticipated RTX 50 series GPUs, with an exciting unveiling possibly slated for CES 2025. Although we’re still waiting for NVIDIA to officially confirm, there’s been a buzz of activity hinting at this timeline.
During an extended Black Friday livestream on the Pichau YouTube channel, which primarily focused on PC hardware, things got interesting when an Inno3D representative joined the conversation. Her appearance unexpectedly shed some light on the potential release of the RTX 50 series GPUs.
In an unguarded moment, the representative revealed that the RTX 5090 might hit shelves in three weeks. Her comment set off quite a reaction among both viewers and fellow presenters. Seemingly aware of her slip, she quickly revised her statement, clarifying that the official announcement for NVIDIA’s RTX 50 GPUs would indeed happen at CES 2025. This suggests that her initial comment could have referred to the internal timeline for Inno3D to receive the GPUs for preparatory purposes, rather than a consumer release.
Typically, major GPU manufacturers like NVIDIA distribute their GPUs to partners ahead of a public launch. This allows those partners, often referred to as AIBs (Add-in-Board partners), to prepare custom designs, including bespoke heatsinks and factory-overclocked chips, for the market.
This impending release is rumored to include NVIDIA’s top-tier graphics card, the GeForce RTX 5090, as well as the RTX 5090D for the Chinese market, and the RTX 5080. Soon thereafter, the lineup is expected to expand with the RTX 5070 Ti and RTX 5070. Further down the line, we might also see the 60-series cards likely making their debut in Q1 2025, trailing just behind the 5070 models.
Stay tuned as fans across the globe eagerly await official announcements and look forward to what promises to be an exciting future for PC gaming and graphics technology.
