The GeForce RTX 5080 and GeForce RTX 5090 will be the two most powerful graphics cards in the GeForce RTX 50 series, the next generation that NVIDIA plans to launch in late 2024, although it will gradually. This means that some models of this new generation of graphics cards will not arrive until first or second quarter of 2025.

This is a strategy that NVIDIA used with previous generations, and it’s the same one we saw with the GeForce RTX 40. The most powerful graphics cards of the generation come first, followed by the next maintaining order from highest to lowest power. In this case, the first two to arrive will be the GeForce RTX 5080 and the GeForce RTX 5090.

It’s not confirmed yet, but the GeForce RTX 5080 and GeForce RTX 5090 are expected to be introduced in September of this year. NVIDIA will offer a complete analysis with the most important keys to the new architecture that both graphics cards will use, the already known Blackwell, but the launch of both graphics cards will be delayed by one to two months after the presentation.

The first to arrive is the GeForce RTX 5090, which should be available throughout the month Octoberand in November The GeForce RTX 5080 should arrive. Keep in mind that these dates They are estimates based on the latest information we have because like I said nothing is definitive yet. The GeForce RTX 5070 and GeForce RTX 5060 will arrive in the coming months.

As you might imagine, the GeForce RTX 5090 will be NVIDIA’s most powerful next-generation graphics card for the general consumer market. It will be configured with GDDR7 memory, which means we will see a significant increase in bandwidth, something that will be necessary for such a powerful GPU as the GB202 that the graphics card will be attached to. can fully develop its potential.

The GeForce RTX 5080 will also have GDDR7 memory, but in this case it may work at a lower frequency. However, this shouldn’t be a problem as this graphics card will end up using the less powerful GPU, the GB203, and won’t need as much bandwidth to maximize its performance.

These two new graphics cards will be designed to run very demanding games in 4K resolution with maximum quality and ray tracing, although they will occupy clearly different positions. GeForce RTX 5080 will be the graphics card more pure play orientedwhile the GeForce RTX 5090 will premium solution this will be a step up and put the best in the hands of very demanding gamers as well as professionals and content creators.

We still don’t have details on their possible retail prices, but in general I think they’re the most likely a bit more expensive than current models at the time of its release, due to the use of GDDR7 memory, a component that will be more expensive than GDDR6 memory.
