Mon Jan 06 15:40:00 UTC 2025: ## Nvidia to Unveil GeForce RTX 5000 Series at CES, Pricing a Key Focus
**Las Vegas, NV –** Nvidia is set to unveil its highly anticipated GeForce RTX 5000 series graphics cards at its CES keynote today, January 2, at 6:30 PM PT. CEO Jensen Huang will take the stage to reveal details surrounding the new generation of gaming GPUs, with AI also expected to feature prominently. Gamers worldwide are eagerly awaiting confirmation of pricing, specifications, and release dates for the RTX 5080, 5090, and other models in the series.
While leaks and rumors have offered glimpses of the RTX 5000 series, many details remain shrouded in mystery. Confirmed details include a significant memory upgrade for the RTX 5090, jumping from 24GB to 32GB of GDDR7 memory. The RTX 5080 and 5070 Ti will see memory bumps to 16GB, while other models like the RTX 5070, 5060 Ti, and 5060 will retain or receive smaller memory increases.
However, the biggest question mark remains pricing. Rumors suggest substantial price increases compared to the previous generation, with the RTX 5090 potentially reaching $2,000-$2,500 – a considerable jump from the RTX 4090’s $1,600 launch price. This potential price hike could significantly impact consumer demand, especially considering recent price increases driven by the pandemic and cryptocurrency mining.
Nvidia’s announcement comes as AMD and Intel are also expected to make graphics card announcements this week, adding to the excitement surrounding CES 2024. While Nvidia may not reveal full specifications for all RTX 5000 models today, a focus on the RTX 5090 and 5080 is anticipated, with potential release dates for these models rumored to be January 21st and sometime in February/March respectively.
The keynote will be livestreamed, offering gamers and tech enthusiasts worldwide a chance to witness the unveiling firsthand. The event promises to offer much-needed clarity on the RTX 5000 series, though some details may be strategically held back for later releases.
