CES 2025 is underway here in Las Vegas and I’m on the ground covering all the latest computing developments, including the highly anticipated announcement of Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 5000 series graphics cards, including the GeForce RTX 5090.
It’s been a little over two years since Nvidia released its last flagship desktop GPU, so anticipation has been building for quite some time now.
Fortunately, we won’t have long to wait before we get out first look at what Nvidia has in store for 2025, and I’ll be here bringing you all the announcements as they happen from Mandalay Bay’s Michelob Arena in Las Vegas.
How to watch the Nvidia CES 2025 keynote
While I encourage you to follow along with my live report, you can also watch Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s keynote presentation along with me at the YouTube link embedded below.
OK folks, we’re coming up on the 15 minutes from the start of Nvidia’s CES 2025 keynote, where CEO Jensen Huang will take the state at Madalay Bay’s Michelob arena. We’re expecting some major news tonight, so for those who’ve been waiting to hear about Nvidia’s next-gen consumer graphics cards, you don’t much longer to wait.
And if you really want to hear all about data center AI and Omniverse stuff, I’m sure Jensen will get around to those as well.
The biggest thing I’m expecting tonight is Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 5090, RTX 5080, and possibly the RTX 5070 Ti.
Following up Nvidia’s Lovelace GPUs, the Blackwell-based RTX 5000 series is expected to be substantially more powerful, with the rumor mill putting the RTX 5080 around 10% faster than the RTX 4090, currently the best graphics card on the consumer market.
That, of course, would put the RTX 5090 in a class entirely on its own, and there’s no telling where its performance will ultimately end up. That said, if speculation is on the mark, it should feature 32GB GDDR7 VRAM with a memory bandwidth of 1.52TB/s on a 512-bit memory bus, making it truly the world’s first 8K gaming graphics card.
