Curious about the next-gen graphics cards? The expected release date has been a topic of speculation for a while now. Initially, reports pointed to a 2024 release for Nvidia’s RTX 50-series and AMD’s RDNA 4. However, recent sources suggest that we may not see new GPUs until 2025. EK Water Blocks, a company specializing in liquid cooling solutions, has now hinted at a possible announcement “later this year.”
With EK Water Blocks collaborating with both Nvidia and AMD, it’s unclear which GPU manufacturer the announcement refers to. Despite recent leaks indicating that neither Nvidia nor AMD will launch new products this year, there is still some uncertainty. This follows a second leak, hinting at positive developments in 2024.
Regarding EK Water Blocks, the company’s statement was prompted by controversies related to staffing issues and operational challenges. While these issues were detailed by Overclock3D, the focus now shifts to the GPU-related statement.

“Contrary to speculation, EK is not only continuing operations but also gearing up to launch our innovative Nexe product line. We are developing new cooling solutions for the upcoming GPU series set for release this year,” the company stated.
Will this announcement be from Nvidia or AMD? And more importantly, can we expect new graphics cards in 2024, or will the year be a letdown? It’s advisable to approach EK Water Blocks’ statement with caution.
While the leak comes from a company that collaborates with both AMD and Nvidia, it contradicts other sources. However, a scenario where both sources are correct is plausible.
If EK Water Blocks is accurate, we might see GPU announcements later this year, possibly in December, with a market release shortly after CES 2025. This aligns with most leaks suggesting that both companies plan to unveil their new GPUs at CES next year. The next few months will reveal the actual outcome.
