Nvidia is set to make a major announcement at CES 2025, with industry insiders widely anticipating the unveiling of the GeForce RTX 5000 series graphics cards. The company's keynote on January 6 is expected to reveal these next-generation GPUs, which have been hinted at in recent trailers like The Witcher IV, which mentioned being pre-rendered on an unannounced Nvidia GeForce RTX GPU.
According to a now-deleted post by Hong Kong outlet HKEPC, the first RTX 5000-series card, likely the RTX 5080, could launch around January 21. Additional models, such as the RTX 5070 and 5090, are expected to follow later. The new cards are rumored to be about 50 percent faster than the current RTX 4090 and will feature GDDR7 RAM, offering significantly higher transfer speeds than previous generations.
Rumors also suggest that the RTX 5090 will have 32GB of GDDR7 memory, double the amount expected in the RTX 5080. While these details come from a single source and should be taken with caution, the anticipation is high given Nvidia's recent market success driven by AI deals with companies like OpenAI and Meta.
