And here's also why we're not getting the same sort of big frame rate bump we got out of the RTX 40-series: hardware is hard.

DLSS 4 performance for the GeForce RTX 50 Series. And outside of the RTX 5090 we're looking at 15-20% gains over the RTX 40 Series.

Learn what makes the new NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50 series tick in our RTX Blackwell graphics arcitecture deep dive.

Nvidia says the RTX 5090 is “2X Faster Than The GeForce RTX 4090;” the RTX 5080 is “Twice As Fast As The GeForce RTX 4080;” the RTX 5070 is “2X Faster Than The GeForce RTX 4070 Ti;” and the RTX 5070 is as fast as the RTX 4090.

Not only does the VRAM jump up from 24GB to 32GB in the RTX 5090, but it gets a lot faster too with GDDR7 memory. You’re getting both more of it and a faster speed at 32 Gbps.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50 series is fresh off its unveiling at CES 2025, and we're starting to see some exciting models. None are more exciting than the flagship GeForce RTX 5090, which packs a wallop and 32GB of VRAM.

Here they are! Nvidia's RTX 50-series GPUs, based on its 'Blackwell' architecture, are coming soon, with giant performance boosts in tow for gaming and content creation with AI models.

The new GeForce RTX 5090 is the top of the line and the star of the show (so much so that it actually leaked just hours before it was officially unveiled), but Nvidia is actually launching four new 50-series GPUs at CES 2025, with the desktop models starting to ship this month and laptop versions arriving in March.

Nvidia has provided some more concrete performance estimates for its upcoming RTX 50-series graphics cards without DLSS turned on.

I’ve seen the RTX 5090 double the framerate of 4090, though a big part of that is due to DLSS 4 and multi-frame gen. Best of CES 2025 Awards ➜ We may earn a commission when you buy through links on our sites.
