It’s practically a done deal that Nvidia will launch the RTX 5000 generation next – but what will the new flagship have in store? We collect all the leaks and rumors.

Nvidia’s Ada-Lovelace generation celebrated its debut with the Geforce RTX 4090 on October 12, 2022. The GPU was thus also the first model to come up with DLSS 3.0 as well as Frame Generation and could thus record an enormous performance leap.

Right from the start, the current top model among graphics cards presented itself as monstrous – you can decide whether we mean the dimensions of the card, the technical data or the price.

Almost a year has passed since the release of the RTX 4090, so the rumor mill has been looking at the next generation for quite some time: The RTX 5000 series, codenamed Blackwell, is said to already be in the works.

RTX 5000 Release: So much for the two-year rhythm

Actually, Nvidia relies on an interval of about two years between the flagships of the respective generation. That was the case with the RTX 2080 (September 2018), the RTX 3090 (September 2020) and the RTX 4090 (October 2022).

However, these time spans between the releases are supposed to change for the RTX 5000 series and require a bit more patience – because the currently circulating Nvidia roadmap talks about a release of the RTX 5090 in the first half of 2025.

Of course, such a roadmap is not set in stone, but the past few months have already shown that Nvidia has taken a liking to waiting with new graphics cards.

RTX 5000 specs: Chunk, not spill

The technical specs of an RTX 5090 are eagerly awaited, after all, Nvidia has been able to deliver a decent performance boost from RTX 3000 to RTX 4000, as was also clear in our review.

The first leaks about the possible specs are already making the rounds, and at least in this respect, they give hope for good things: Among other things, the number of shader units is supposed to increase to 24,576 cores and thus by 50% compared to the RTX 4090.

The memory also gets an upgrade. Instead of GDDR6X, Nvidia will most likely use the faster GDDR7 memory, which is also supposed to increase to 32 GB. According to the latest leak, the connection will be made via a 512-bit memory interface, which guarantees a bandwidth of more than 1.5 TByte/s.

RTX 5000 price: Nobody dares

So only one of the crucial questions remains, how successful the RTX 5090 can become: How much can it cost?

Unfortunately, at the time of the article’s publication, not a single leaker, who is said to have trustworthy insider knowledge, has participated in speculations about the MSRP so far.

Thus, we are also left with only a shot in the dark: While the respective top models of their generation in the form of the RTX 3090 Ti and RTX 4090 were planned for a price of 2,250 Euros and 1,950 Euros, respectively, at launch, nothing is likely to change about the steep RRP for the upcoming series.

Accordingly, the RTX 5090 will also be an absolute luxury model in our eyes – nothing less than 2,000 Euros should be possible here; even a price of 2,500 Euros upwards would bring tears to our eyes at most, but not surprise us.

Now it’s your turn: What do you expect from the RTX 5000 series? Under what conditions are you flirting with buying a new Nvidia graphics card? Or are you more satisfied with AMD Radeon? Let us know in the comments
