Seasonic, a well-known PSU manufacturer, has reportedly unveiled multiple upcoming GPUs from AMD’s Radeon RX 7000 series and Nvidia’s RTX 5000 series on its website. Seasonic briefly listed the unreleased GPUs on its Wattage Calculator page, mentioning around four new AMD and five new Nvidia models, although they appear to have been removed at the time of writing.
According to a report, Seasonic’s website referenced high-end models of AMD’s upcoming Radeon RX 7000 series, including the RX 7990 XTX, RX 7950 XTX, and RX 7950 XT. This marks the first sighting of these specific models online, fueling the excitement around AMD’s next-gen GPUs. It’s important to note that AMD has previously introduced high-end refreshes like the “XX50” models as part of the RDNA 2 refresh.
If the listings hold true, it indicates that AMD is likely preparing to compete aggressively in the high-performance GPU market, offering significant advancements in performance and efficiency with the AMD Radeon RX 7000 RDNA 3 GPU refresh featuring higher clock speeds, power ratings, and faster memory.

Similarly, Nvidia’s upcoming RTX 5000 series was listed on the website, suggesting these GPUs will have significant power requirements. The leaked information includes various models, from the top-tier RTX 5090 to the RTX 5050, each with specified Thermal Design Powers (TDPs).
If the data is accurate, the RTX 5060 is expected to show the most significant increase in TDP, potentially bridging the performance and price gap between the RTX 4070 and 4060. The RTX 5060 is also rumored to return to a 12GB VRAM standard. These new GPUs will likely demand robust power supplies due to the increase in TDP.
Nvidia GeForce | TDP |
RTX 5090 | 500W |
RTX 5080 | 350W |
RTX 5070 | 220W |
RTX 5060 | 170W |
RTX 5050 | 100W |
The premature appearance of these unreleased GPUs on Seasonic’s website suggests that AMD and Nvidia are nearing the launch of their next-gen graphics cards. Nvidia is expected to kick off its Blackwell architecture consumer graphics card releases in October, beginning with the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 models.
The enthusiast RTX 5070 is projected to follow in January 2025, with the mainstream RTX 5060 set for launch in Q3 or Q4 of the same year. Moreover, AMD could introduce its RDNA 3 refresh in January during CES 2025.
