NVIDIA to Only Launch the Flagship GeForce RTX 5090 in 2024, Rest of the Series in 2025
NVIDIA debuted the current RTX 40-series "Ada" in 2022, which means the company is expected to debut its next-generation in some shape or form in 2024, having refreshed it earlier this year. We've known for a while that the new GeForce RTX 50-series "Blackwell" could see a 2024 debut, which is going by past trends, would be the top-two or three SKUs, followed by a ramp up in the following year, but we're now learning through a new Moore's Law is Dead leak that the launch could be limited to just the flagship product, the GeForce RTX 5090, or the SKU that succeeds the RTX 4090.
Even a launch limited to the flagship RTX 5090 would give us a fair idea of the new "Blackwell" architecture, its various new features, and how the other SKUs in the lineup could perform at their relative price-points, because the launch could at least include a technical overview of the architecture. NVIDIA "Blackwell" is expected to introduce another generational performance leap over the current lineup. The reasons NVIDIA is going with a more conservative launch of GeForce "Blackwell" could be to allow the market to digest inventories of the current RTX 40-series; and to accord higher priority to AI GPUs based on the architecture, which fetch the company much higher margins.

also 24576 is full chip, gimped 20-22K Cuda safe to predict 18432 for a 5080 Ti or 75%/384 bit enabled die and 90% performance scaling. this is what most would want anyway. 5080 is shaping up only 50% of 5090, a total joke. would be 5070 Ti at 1199.
I know there is no such thing as "true" pixel and real time 3D rendering is a matter of cheating in a visually convincing way but with path tracing we are still far from playable at 4k and high refresh rates without cheating a bit too much.
The thing that irks me with DLSS (and FSR/XeSS) is NVidia getting us to call a 50-60fps @ 1200p setting as 80-100fps @ 4K Bal+FG.
Display as not much in common with render. Why call a render setting (internal resolution) with a display configuration name (4K) that got nothing to do with it ?
Playing with a lower resolution and frame generation are not new techs. DLSS is by far the best implementation of it but my 15 years old TV did it.
Can't be giving full dies to these Geforce plebs. You're being way too positive here. You don't need hardware. All you need is DLSS4.2 which will reconstruct a game out of an AI generated image.
trumor = truth + rumor
Lol. Perfectly sums up leaks like this.
Which is why they're pusing RT, with upscaling, which for me just leads to an overall worse visual experience (plus other side effects), because they've got nothing to sell to people outside of that.
I do understand that here we talk about graphics, but the majority out there doesn't really needs much. AMD could be selling a boatload of RX 580s if they could market them at $100 and still make a good profit. And most people would have been totally happy with such a card.
P.S. GT 1030, GT 710, are still available. And I don't really want to mention GT 210 here....eeewwwwwww
Let see your 15 year old TV play a game then
Sorry, that was unnecessarily snarky of me. True, though.

I'm just waiting to hear from Nvidia claiming they have a "new" way to make more frames or better downscaling to upscaling on a new AI software version that only works with the 50xx series.
