Nvidia’s RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 release today, with the RTX 5070 and Ti following in February.

Stock is expected to run out fast on the 50-series, so we have found all available retailer listings for the US, UK, and Canada to ensure you get one for MSRP.

The two cards will launch at 6 am PST (2 pm GMT) ahead of the others, with the laptop versions of the graphics cards arriving in March of 2025. While the cards are appearing on retailer sites they aren’t available to buy just yet, however, gaming PCs are:

Main differences compared to the RTX 40 series

While the RTX 40 series provided impressive performance for gaming and content creation, the RTX 50 series takes things a step further with several improvements, including the following:

  • GDDR7 Memory: A significant upgrade over the GDDR6X used in the RTX 40 series, GDDR7 offers faster memory speeds and improved bandwidth, optimizing performance for high-demand tasks like 4K gaming and AI-driven applications.
  • Ray Tracing and DLSS 4.0: The RTX 50 series features even more powerful RT cores and Tensor cores, improving real-time ray tracing and supporting the latest DLSS 4.0 for even better upscaling and faster frame rates.
  • AI Improvements: With further AI-based tools and workloads supported by upgraded Tensor cores, the RTX 50 series delivers stronger support for AI research, model training, and more sophisticated simulations.
