On January 6, 2025, NVIDIA Founder and CEO Jensen Huang took to the CES 2025 stage to unveil the RTX Blackwell, a new series of graphics cards from the company. This family of GPUs is the RTX 50-series of cards:

  • RTX 5090 (3,400 AI TOPS) $1,999
  • RTX 5080 (1,800 AI TOPS) $999
  • RTX 5070 Ti (1,400 AI TOPS) $749
  • RTX 5070 (1,000 AI TOPS) $549

As you can see, the price point for the RTX Blackwell family of cards is surprisingly diverse, with one of the lower entry points consumers have seen in a while. The cards will also be available in a line of laptops with prices ranging from $1,299 for the RTX 5070 with 800 AI TOPS to $2,899 for the RTX 5090 with 1,850 AI TOPS. Consumers can pick up one of these new laptops in March.

Those waiting to upgrade their PCs are no doubt going to be eyeing off one of these new RTX 50-series of graphics cards. Be sure to check out our NVIDIA page and CES 2025 page for more information.

      So the only relevant stats are price and AI power.
      This world is donezo.

        There were other things about transistors and TFLOPS. But NVIDIA seems to be big on AI at the moment!

          Are workstation cards better for AI, or just CAD rendering etc?

        traditional transistor based gen-on-gen uplifts have been done for a while. this is why you're only really seeing impressive gains in more novel approaches (3d cache on CPU, tightly linked software integration on GPU).

        it makes it look better that way. 4 bit operations instead of standard 32 bit operations.

      Might be time for me to look into a new GPU. Thankfully I can offset the cost by selling my old GPU.

      Hi, what is an AI TOPS, why are there two pictures with different prices and AI TOPS numbers.

        TOPS is trillions of operations per second, it is how AI performance is measured, though it's obviously pretty vague.

        I looked it up though and the 4090 is listed by Nvidia at 1,300 AI TOPS, so the 5090 has 3,300 - quite a jump.

        The first picture is prices for desktop GPUs, the second picture is prices for laptops with mobile variants.

          It took me a reread of the article to figure that.
