Nvidia is constantly innovating in the graphics card space. The RTX 40-series has been refreshed, and now rumors are swirling about the upcoming RTX 50-series GPUs.
While the release date of the RTX 50-series GPUs is still a few months away, leaks and rumors are providing us with an insight into what to expect from Nvidia’s next-gen graphics cards.
RTX 50-series: Pricing and Release Date
While an exact release date for the RTX 50-series is still unknown, industry estimates point to a launch between the end of 2024 and the beginning of 2025. Rumors suggest a possible refresh in 2026, although it’s too early to confirm.
Recent reports indicate that we may not see the GPUs until after CES 2025, with Nvidia potentially scaling back production of the RTX 40-series cards by as much as 50%. Contrary reports suggest an announcement of the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 in September 2024.
What Benchlife said is that 5080/D and 5090/D are scheduled to officially finalize the design in September, not officially launch in September. https://t.co/UIdvq5uuhp

Twitter user MEGAsizeGPU debunks the speculation about a September launch, indicating that the design finalization is on track for September, not the official launch. The latest information hints at a substantial focus on efficiency in the RTX 5000 series.
According to reports, Nvidia plans to launch the RTX 5090 first in the final quarter of 2024, followed by the RTX 5080 a few weeks later. This mirrors the approach taken with the RTX 40-series release strategy.
However, the exact release schedule remains uncertain. Potential leaks suggest varying launch sequences, with conflicting information on which card will debut first.
It's not true. RTX 5080 should be released first.

As the release date approaches, more information will surface to clarify the details of Nvidia’s highly anticipated RTX 50-series GPUs.
