NVIDIA just announced its next-generation GeForce RTX 50 Series at CES 2025. The massive jump forward for AI-powered graphics means a complete shift in how gaming, content creation, and game development are approached. These graphics cards, built upon the latest in Blackwell architecture, promise to revolutionize gaming and provide the industry with unmatched levels of performance and visual realism.
The showpiece for launch is the GeForce RTX 5090, which NVIDIA proclaims as the world’s fastest gaming GPU. With 92 billion transistors and delivering an astonishing 3,352 trillion operations per second (TOPS) of AI processing power, the RTX 5090 is set to take graphics performance to a whole new level.Â
The new 5090 will deliver up to 2x the performance of its predecessor, the RTX 4090, making it a game-changer for gamers and professionals who demand the best in terms of performance and efficiency.
This means the RTX 50 Series comes loaded with DLSS 4, an advanced version of NVIDIA’s Deep Learning Super Sampling. Compared to traditional rendering, DLSS 4 can generate as many as three additional frames for each rendered frame with Multi Frame Generation, launching performance up to an astonishing 8 times.
It improves not only smooth gameplay but also the visual presentation in supported titles, pushing the envelope of what’s possible in gaming.
However, it’s not just about speed: NVIDIA is pushing realism with RTX Neural Shaders, an AI-driven technology that makes lighting, shadows, reflections, and materials all more realistic in real time. To boot, the company just unveiled a new RTX Neural Faces tech that uses generative AI to deliver photorealistic characters, with realistic skin and hair-dos, so every in-game character feels truly alive.
The GeForce RTX 5090 will start shipping on January 30, 2025, starting at $1,999. Laptops featuring RTX 50 Series GPUs will start to ship in March. For any gamer, developer, or creator, NVIDIA’s new GPUs are expected to redefine what is possible in AI-powered graphics and interactive entertainment.
