The reveal happened during the company’s keynote speech by CEO Jensen Huang.
The GeForce RTX 50 series includes all the usual suspects, from the RTX 5070 to the top-of-the-line RTX 5090. NVIDIA has also decided to release a “titanium” edition alongside the primary card for the first time, which is fantastic.

However, NVIDIA eases the pain a bit with the RTX 5070 at $550, which is apparently capable of delivering RTX 4090-level performance, courtesy of AI, according to NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang.
The RTX 5070 Ti will cost $750, and the 5080 will be $1,000.
Another important revelation is that the RTX 5090 is much smaller than its predecessor, the RTX 4090. The new card only has two slots and is suitable for smaller systems.
During the event, NVIDIA provided a few details on the new RTX 50-series cards.
However, a few crucial reveals were made after the event on NVIDIA’s website, such as the DLSS 4.0, which will be released alongside the new GPUs.
NVIDIA claims that DLSS 4.0 will improve performance by up to 8x. On Day 1, it will also support 75 games and apps, including big names like Diablo 4, Stalker 2, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, and more
As for availability, in NVIDIA’s usual style, the big cards, the RTX 5090 and 5080 will arrive first on January 30, while the RTX 5070 and 5070 Ti will arrive in February.
