Waiting for the graphics card king: RTX 5090 delays!

hardware enthusiasts and gamers must continue to be patient, because the highly expected Nvidia graphics cards of the RTX 50 series are long in coming. According to information from wcctech , Nvidia will primarily present the GeForce RTX 5080 before the RTX 5090 gets on the sales shelves. The premiere of the new Blackwell cards takes place on the CES 2025, where a total of four models are presented. The RTX 5080 with 16 GibdDR7 is the first to be expected and should be available in retail in mid -January 2025. The RTX 5090 then follows between the end of January and mid -February, but with 32 GEBDDR7. This time it is remarkable that the 80s class comes on the market before the 90s class, which differs from previous publications.

Technical details of the new graphics cards

Latest reports state that the RTX 5080 will be equipped with a particularly fast GDDR7 memory of 30 GBPs, which enables an impressive memory bandwidth of 960 GB/s. In contrast, the rest of the Blackwell series, including the RTX 5090, is expected to be offered with slower 28 GBP modules, such as Tom’s Hardware reported. This could provide the RTX 5080 a performance advantage, while the storage capacities of the small models of the series, which are presented in the first quarter of 2025, are set to 12 Gib and 16.

The information about the RTX 5080 and its competition emphasize that Nvidia is a leader in the area of graphics storage technology. Latest GDDR7 modules from Samsung promise speeds of up to 42.5 Gbps for future cards. So while the RTX 5080 represents a quick upgrade, it remains to be seen how the users react to the introduction of the new line, especially in view of the anticipation and speculation before CES.
