NVIDIA RTX 50 Series launched: Blackwell architecture and up to 21.7K CUDA cores

NVIDIA reveals its newest RTX 50 Series graphics card using Blackwell architecture to power the latest triple A title.

RTX 50 Series

NVIDIA RTX 50 Series is now official

At the forefront, the RTX5090 GPU boasts a whopping 21,760 CUDA cores. That's a big leap coming from the RTX 4090 with 16,384 cores. But with such an upgrade, it now draws power of 575W coming from 450W.

Apart from that, the graphics card offers 32GB GDDR7 memory and 512-bit memory bus.

The RTX 5090 performance

Now the RTX 5090 brings twice the performance of the predecessor for titles like Cyberpunk 2077, Alan Wake 2, and Black Myth: Wukong. This was also achieved with the help of DLSS and Ray Tracing technology.

Next on the list is the RTX 5080. It brings 16GB GDDR7 memory, 256-bit bus, and 10,752 CUDA cores with 360W TDP which makes a 40W increase versus the RTX 4080.

The third GPU RTX 5070 Ti gets 16GB GDDR7 memory with 8960 CUDA cores and draws 300W of power. Meanwhile, the RTX 5070 uses 12GB GDDR7 and is paired with 6,144 CUDA cores which consumes 250W energy.

The prices

This new line of graphics cards features the DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation which uses AI to create up to 3x more frames for each rendered frame. If combined with DLSS, this brings 8x more performance over traditional rendering while retaining responsiveness using NVIDIA Reflex technology.

In terms of ports, the RTX 50 Series has DisplayPort 2.1b, HDMI 2.1a, and CIe 5.0 via a 16-pin connector.

US price with direct-to-PHP conversion (no taxes and duties yet):

NVIDIA RTX 5070 - USD 549 (around PHP 31.9K)

NVIDIA RTX 5070 Ti - USD 749 (around PHP 43.5K)

NVIDIA RTX 5080 - USD 999 (around PHP 58K)

NVIDIA RTX 5090 - USD 1,999 (around PHP 116K)

These new graphics cards are going to be available beginning January 30 for RTX 5080 and 5090 while the 5070 and 5070 Ti will be available next month.
