At CES 2025, Nvidia unveiled its new RTX 50 series graphics card lineup. While the high-end models, like the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080, are getting the most attention, the RTX 5070 and RTX 5070 Ti have what it takes to appeal to a wider audience. Offered at more accessible prices, they promise impressive performance for gamers and creators looking for good value for money.
Four models to cover all needs at Nvidia
Nvidia has presented four graphics cards in this new range:
- The very powerful RTX 5090: the flagship card priced at $1,999
- RTX 5080: intended for demanding gamers, for $999
- RTX 5070 Ti: a mid-range model at $749
- The RTX 5070: the most accessible option, at $549
The RTX 5090 and 5080 will be available from January 30, while the RTX 5070 Ti and 5070 will arrive in February.
RTX 5090, the ultimate Nvidia graphics card
The Nvidia RTX 5090 is the crown jewel of this new range.It is equipped with 32 GB of GDDR7 memory, a bandwidth of 1,792 GB/s and 21,760 CUDA cores. Nvidia promises performance twice the performance of the RTX 4090, making it an ideal solution for 8K gaming or very demanding professional applications.
Despite its power, the RTX 5090 adopts a compact two-slot design, making it easier to integrate into smaller cases. However, this card imposes high demands: it consumes up to 575W and requires a 1000W power supply. Available at $1,999, it targets users looking for the best available technology.
RTX 5080, performance and affordability
For gamers looking for a high-performance solution at a more reasonable price, the Nvidia RTX 5080 is an excellent option. With 16 GB of GDDR7 memory, a bandwidth of 960 GB/s and 10,752 CUDA cores, it offers double the performance of the RTX 4080.
Its power consumption remains controlled, with a power requirement of 360 W and a recommended power supply of 850 W. Offered at $999, it is ideal for 4K gaming at high settings, as well as for creative tasks such as video editing or 3D modeling.
RTX 5070 Ti, the ideal compromise from Nvidia
The Nvidia RTX 5070 Ti is designed for those looking for a balance between performance and cost. It is equipped with 16 GB of GDDR7 memory, a bandwidth of 896 GB/s and 8,960 CUDA cores. Nvidia claims this card is twice as fast as the RTX 4070 Ti.
It draws 300W of power and requires a 750W power supply. With a price tag of $749, it offers an optimal 1440p experience and 4K compatibility on a reasonable budget.
RTX 5070, a powerful and affordable card
The Nvidia RTX 5070 stands out for its excellent value for money. Featuring 12GB of GDDR7 memory, 672GB/s of bandwidth, and 6,144 CUDA cores, it offers performance close to the RTX 4090 in certain situations, while remaining much more affordable.
Its moderate power consumption of 250W, combined with a recommended 650W power supply, makes it an ideal option for modest configurations. Selling at $549, it targets 1080p or 1440p gamers looking for a powerful yet cost-effective solution.
A redesigned design for all cards
Nvidia has also revised the design of its Founders Edition cards. Each model is designed with a dual-slot form factor, a dual-fan cooling system, and a 3D vapor chamber. These innovations allow for better heat dissipation, while ensuring compatibility with various case sizes. Additionally, all cards feature DisplayPort 2.1b ports, providing support for up to 8K at 165Hz.
The RTX 5090 and 5080 will be available from January 30, 2025, while the RTX 5070 Ti and 5070 will arrive in February. These new graphics cards promise to meet the expectations of a wide audience, from passionate gamers to demanding creators. Nvidia continues to innovate and push the boundaries of technology, confirming its role as a leader in the GPU field.
