- Nvidia has teased revelations about ‘GeForce at CES 2025’
- This should certainly be next-gen GPUs, doubtless the RTX 5090 and 5080
- Witcher 4 trailer additionally drops an enormous clue the RTX 5090 could also be imminent
Nvidia has lastly discarded what’s been one of many worst stored secrets and techniques within the tech world this 12 months – alongside Apple’s M4 Macs – and teased that it’s certainly about to disclose new GeForce merchandise at CES 2025.
The teaser (highlighted by VideoCardz) stops wanting mentioning RTX 5000, or RTX 50 collection, or Blackwell, or any particular title in any respect, and simply mentions ‘GeForce at CES 2025’ – however in fact, this should certainly be the launch of the next-gen graphics playing cards.
Beforehand, Nvidia has tell us about its CES 2025 keynote – which CEO Jensen Huang will give – however not what it’ll be about. Now we all know it’s GeForce-related, and can certainly encompass an RTX 5090 reveal, and doubtless different GPUs too (the RTX 5080 is one other robust risk, going by the rumors – and doubtless next-gen Blackwell laptop computer GPUs, as effectively).
Backing this up is the reality that the Witcher 4 has seen its first cinematic trailer aired at The Recreation Awards, and apparently, there’s a point out of this footage being “pre-rendered in Unreal Engine 5 on an unannounced Nvidia GeForce RTX GPU.”
That should certainly be the flagship RTX 5090, and this represents one other weighty trace that stated graphics card is about to be introduced at CES, which is only some weeks away now.
Evaluation: Thrilling occasions simply across the nook
At this level, the RTX 5000 reveal is as confirmed because it’s going to be – with out mentioning any product names – till Jensen takes the stage on January 6, at CES 2025, and really unveils the RTX 5090 and doubtless RTX 5080 too. There’s additional chatter about the potential for the RTX 5070 turning up alongside them, however that GPU is likely to be saved for a bit later – although it’s nonetheless anticipated to reach early in 2025, going by the grapevine.
I definitely hope that the RTX 5070 is within the combine for an early launch, as that is the GPU that I’m most concerned about relating to a near-future improve for my gaming PC. On the Nvidia facet, that’s – I’m additionally very eager to see how the rumored RX 8800 XT shapes up as compared, significantly when it comes to pricing (or no matter RDNA 4 merchandise are revealed by AMD, additionally at CES 2025, as they’re virtually definitely going to be robust mid-range choices).
The concerns for Nvidia’s next-gen GeForce graphics playing cards are that pricing is likely to be pushed tougher once more (groan), and that VRAM loadouts could possibly be skinny, with maybe solely 16GB for the RTX 5080 and 12GB for the RTX 5070. That stated, there could also be mitigating circumstances to some extent with VRAM efficiency, however nonetheless, these video RAM allocations look distinctly shaky when it comes to future-proofing – add seasoning appropriately, as all these specs are nonetheless rumors.
