Nvidia's next generation of desktop graphics cards are finally here. The company has shown off four SKUs and made some lofty claims about their performance. The flagship GeForce RTX 5090 comes with 32 GB of VRAM as previously rumoured. Even the GeForce RTX 5080, RTX 5070 Ti and RTX 5070 have launched with an expceted amount of VRAM. No surprises this time.
- GeForce RTX 5090: 32 GB GDDR7 VRAM on 512-bit bus, 21,760 CUDA cores, base clock 2.01 GHz, boost clock 2.4 GHz, 4K 480 Hz maximum video output, 575 Watt TGP, 1,000 Watt recommended PSU, 2-slot design
- GeForce RTX 5080: 16 GB GDDR7 VRAM on 256-bit bus, 10,752 CUDA cores, base clock 2.3 GHz, boost clock 2.62 GHz, 4K 480 Hz maximum video output, 360 Watt TGP, 850 Watt recommended PSU, 2-slot design
- GeForce RTX 5070 Ti: 16 GB GDDR7 VRAM on 256-bit bus, 8,960 CUDA cores, base clock 2.3 GHz, boost clock 2.45 GHz, 4K 480 Hz maximum video output, 300 Watt TGP, 750 Watt recommended PSU, 2-slot design
- GeForce RTX 5070: 12 GB GDDR7 VRAM on 192-bit bus, 6,144 CUDA cores, base clock 2.16 GHz, boost clock 2.51 GHz, 4K 480 Hz maximum video output, 250 Watt TGP, 650 Watt recommended PSU, 2-slot design
Nvidia claims the GeForce RTX 5070 performs on par with the GeForce RTX 4090. Such claims are not new and have been made every generation. But this time, it might actually be possible due to DLSS 4, GDDR7 VRAM and Nvidia's new texture compression tech. And the best part is, it won't even be that expensive. Here's the full breakdown of how much each model will cost.
- GeForce RTX 5090: $1,999
- GeForce RTX 5080: $999
- GeForce RTX 5070 Ti: $749
- GeForce RTX 5070: $549
The GeForce RTX 5090's price sounds about right, given its increase in VRAM. Even the others are reasonably priced, especially the GeForce RTX 5080, which was slated to cost around $1,500 according to some rumours. Nvidia says these GPUs will be available sometime in January, but didn't elaborate further.
