Nvidia’s highly anticipated RTX 5000 generation is just around the corner. The wccftech portal will now have all the technical data and the launch date for the RTX 5090, RTX 5080 and RTX 5070 graphics cards.

As previously speculated, the trio of new RTX GPUs will actually be announced at CES 2025. The organizers of the technology trade fair recently confirmed that Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang will open the CES with his own keynote:

The wccftech report also sees many of the more recent leaks surrounding the RTX 5000 confirmed. The RTX 5090 is based on the GB202-300 chip from the Blackwell generation – but in contrast to the full configuration, it contains “only” 21,760 shader units. The 32 GB GDDR7 memory with 512-bit interface has also already been the basis of rumors; The 600 watt TDP is also no stranger.

A detail about the RTX 5080 is a little more interesting: In contrast to the flagship model with 28 Gbps, this one will have the slightly faster GDDR7 memory with 32 Gbps. However, wccftech only mentions 16 GB of VRAM for a 256-bit interface. Further data from the leak amounts to 10,752 CUDA cores and a power consumption of 400 watts.

Surprisingly, the RTX 5070 is also set to be announced at CES 2025, about which there has been comparatively little information so far. The wccftech leak also cannot provide any information about the chip used or even the number of shader units. There should be 12 GB of GDDR7 VRAM (28 Gbit/s) with a 192-bit connection. The TDP is slightly higher than its predecessor at 250 watts.

Basically, all of the upcoming Nvidia graphics cards will be based on the 12V 2×6 power connection, which Nvidia has made standard for its own products with the introduction of the RTX40 Super GPUs.

When it comes to connections, DisplayPort 2.1a with the full 80 Gbit/s should be on board. However, there is still no price information.

In addition, according to wccftech, Nvidia should make changes to the PCB of the graphics cards: The “back drilling” has therefore been revised. In simple terms, this involves removing small copper residues that arise during the manufacturing process. With the new method, the signal integrity between the RTX 5000 GPU and the GDDR7 memory is better – but no details are given.

Now we need your opinion: What do you think of the technical data of the RTX 5000 graphics cards (assuming they are correct)? Will you be watching CES 2025 more closely for Nvidia GPUs? Let us know in the comments!
