The fact is that EK Water Blocks is not experiencing its best moments, so much so that the company had to deny a possible shutdown and could not avoid a speech along the way, ending up confirming the launch date of the GeForce RTX 50. Yes, They are coming this year, specifically at the end, just as we have seen in previous rumours.

EK Water Blocks has released liquid cooling blocks for both NVIDIA and AMD, so maybe with this comment also refers to the Radeon RX 8000whose release date has remained somewhat up in the air after the latest conflicting rumors that first pointed to the end of the year and then to early 2025.

Although it is not equivalent to the official release date for GeForce RTX 50 and Radeon RX 8000, since NVIDIA and AMD ultimately have the final say, the truth is that it has a lot of credibility and this could be perfectly fulfilled because this information comes from a company that manufactures liquid cooling blocks for said graphics cards and therefore has access to privileged information.

Launch of GeForce RTX 50: the first high-performance models

NVIDIA will once again repeat the strategy it used with its previous generations of graphics cards. It will launch the GeForce RTX 5080 and GeForce RTX 5090 first, and not necessarily in that order, with other models arriving later ordered from highest to lowest power.

GeForce RTX 5080 and GeForce RTX 5090 are most likely to hit the market between October and November, and that the GeForce RTX 5070 debuts in early 2025. In the second quarter of 2025, the GeForce RTX 5060 and GeForce RTX 5060 Ti could arrive, and at the end of 2025 we could see the GeForce RTX 5050, which will close this first wave of next-generation graphics cards.

Once the initial deployment is complete, which could be completed with other models such as the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti, it’s very likely that NVIDIA will do an intergenerational refresh of the line. GeForce RTX 50 SUPERas is the case with the GeForce RTX 40 SUPER.

AMD’s case with the Radeon RX 8000 could be similar, though more limitedbecause theoretically it will launch only four new graphics cards in this new generation. If AMD repeats the strategy it followed with the Radeon RX 5000, the two most powerful graphics cards will arrive first, the Radeon RX 8800 XT and the Radeon RX 8700 XT, followed by the Radeon RX 8600 a few months later.
