The Nvidia RTX 5000 series probably won’t appear for several years, but details, speculation, and rumors are already circulating about these GeForce GPUs. To help you navigate these murky waters, here’s everything we know about Team Green Blackwell graphics cards.
The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5000 series may pack some of the best graphics cards when it finally launches, but how much better it will be compared to current-gen RTX 4000 GPUs remains to be seen.
And don’t forget the competition from processors like AMD’s RDNA 4 and Intel’s Battlemage, which could also take the performance crown from you if the green team takes hold.
Considering how far we’ve come since the launch of the RTX 5000 series, everything from the launch date and price of the GPUs to their specs and benchmark results could change a lot. So keep a salt shaker handy.
Nvidia RTX 5000 Release Date Rumors
There is no official information on the exact release date of Nvidia RTX 5000, but the company has commented on when it plans to release new GPU architectures.
In its December 2022 earnings report, Nvidia noted that it “develops new GP (graphics processing) architectures every two years” (via Seeking Alpha). With that in mind, that would mean Blackwell’s pixel boosters will arrive in 2024, and Lovelace and Hopper will launch in 2022.
Nvidia RTX 5000 Price Speculation
We won’t know the price of the Nvidia RTX 5000 GPUs until we get closer to their announcement and release date. However, we can make guesses based on current trends and past releases.
Currently, the Nvidia RTX 4090 is Team Green’s best graphics card and has an MSRP of $1599. That makes it the most expensive pixel pusher Team Green has ever made, but the price for an Nvidia RTX 5000 GPU could be even higher thanks to TSMC.
This could prove problematic for Nvidia, as the RTX 4080 is currently on store shelves, largely due to its unattractive $1,200 price tag. Fingers crossed we don’t see a repeat of the Titan RTX, which costs $2,499.
Nvidia RTX 5000 Specs Rumors
Details on potential Nvidia RTX 5000 specs are scant, but we do know that the green team plans to build its Blackwell GPUs on TSMC’s latest 3nm process (via WCCFTech).
Meanwhile, the latest rumors from RedGamingTech suggest that Nvidia is considering taking a cue from AMD’s playbook and using chipset dies for its higher-end SKUs.
This is in addition to the new SM (Streaming Multiprocessor) framework and new denoising accelerator as part of the RTX 5000 ray tracing pipeline to improve ray tracing and routing performance.
Nvidia RTX 5000 benchmark speculation
So far, no Nvidia RTX 5000 benchmarks have emerged, and we don’t expect them to appear for some time. However, it is safe to say that we should expect performance improvements in both rasterization and ray tracing compared to current generation GPUs.
However, according to sources close to RedGamingTech, these next-gen GeForce graphics cards are expected to deliver “the biggest leap in performance in Nvidia’s history.” It remains to be seen how that will translate into actual frames per second, whether Nvidia DLSS is enabled or not, as we’ve seen the same claims just before every GPU release.
