Nvidia's $2K RTX 50-Series: Unmatched Power, Massive Energy Use
Nvidia has officially unveiled its new series of GeForce RTX 50 graphics cards at CES 2025. The RTX 5090 will be priced at $2,000 and requires a recommended power supply of 1 kW. This new range of GPUs comes as Nvidia seeks to meet the growing demand in the AI field.
The new GPUs promise to enhance gaming performance on PC setups. Jensen Huang, Nvidia's CEO, introduced the cards, highlighting DLSS technology and the new RTX Neural Shaders. These use machine learning to compress textures and free up processing power.
Release and Pricing Details
The RTX 5080 and 5090 will be available later this month. Meanwhile, the RTX 5070 and 5070 Ti are set to ship in February. Here are the prices:
- GeForce RTX 5070: $550
- GeForce RTX 5070 Ti: $750
- GeForce RTX 5080: $1,000
- GeForce RTX 5090: $2,000
Performance Enhancements
Nvidia promises double the performance compared to previous models, even for entry-level cards. The RTX 5070, for instance, is said to be as efficient as the old RTX 4090, thanks to machine learning optimizations.
High-End Gaming Experience
At the high end, Nvidia showcased graphics promising twice the performance of the RTX 4090 for the RTX 5090. Games like Alan Wake 2 and Black Myth: Wukong are set to benefit from this power. The 5090, though power-hungry, is more compact than its predecessor, requiring only two slots in a PC case.
