There have been a plethora of rumors and leaks regardingNvidia’s upcomingGeForce RTX 5000 seriesreveal, but according to a reliable leaker it could be much closer than anticipated.
Spottedby Wccftech, Kopite7kimi on X,hinted at Team Green’s inevitable announcement in a postthat states ‘We will meet GeForce of Blackwell soon’ - theuser accurately revealed some specifications of the RTX 4080(and the RTX 5090 which isn’t officially confirmed), which suggests an announcement or teaser could be upon us before the end of the year.
We know Nvidia’s CEO Jensen Huang will be delivering a CES 2025 keynote, which is a big indication of the GPU series reveal - this could mean Kopite7kimi is referencing the CES 2025 event or an incoming teaser from Team Green. Regardless, we won’t be waiting very long to see the RTX 5000 series unveiled, with CES coming in January.
Is the ‘leaked’ price of the RTX 5090 legitimate?
There’s no official confirmation from Nvidia on any of the RTX 5000 GPUs nor their specifications or pricing, but if theleaked specsfor the flagship GPU (the rumoredRTX 5090) are anything to go by, we could indeed see a $2,500 price tag. Considering the pricing behind the RTX 4090 ($1,599 / £1,499 / AU$2,959 at MSRP) at launch, it isn’t much of a surprise to see rumors of a major price increase.
The RTX 5090 is rumored to utilize 32GB of VRAM, a significant leap from its predecessor’s 24GB - Team Green’s new Blackwell architecture will see the new GPUs driven by AI, withDLSS and Frame Generationexpected to play a bigger part with this release. If Nvidia makes DLSS 3’s successor exclusive to the new GPU series (which we hope it won’t), then you can expect the demand to skyrocket.
Scalping with Nvidia’s GPUs has been a significant issue, especially during COVID-19 - the rumored $2,500 price has the potential to make this much worse, but we hope this isn’t the case once the new range launches.
