Nvidia GeForce RTX 5000: Everything You Need to Know
The highly anticipated Nvidia GeForce RTX 5000 graphics cards have finally started leaking online, and it’s clear that they’re making significant waves in the tech community. The latest rumors suggest that the new series will not only bring improved performance but also a massive increase in physical size.
According to leaked images, the PCB of the new GPU is enormous, measuring an astonishing 744mm² compared to just 608mm² for the RTX 4000 GPUs. This significant increase has raised concerns among tech experts and enthusiasts alike, as it could create compatibility issues with existing cases, particularly those catering to small form factor (mini-ITX) systems.
The increased width of the card seems to be the primary point of contention, making it a challenge for even larger standard ATX cases. The additional power connector on the side of the PCB, needed to accommodate the rumored 600W power draw, further exacerbates the clearance issue.
However, more recent information has shed light on the naming scheme and availability schedule for the new series. It appears that Nvidia will maintain its traditional naming structure, with six models launching in total. As for release dates, it’s expected that reviews of the initial launch wave, including the RTX 5090, will be available by the end of January or early February, with general availability set to follow shortly.
Based on past launch patterns, we can expect a staggered rollout of the remaining models throughout the year. The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5000 series is expected to begin with the top-end RTX 5090, followed by the RTX 5080, and then the mid-range options in February-March timeframe. The lower-end variants, including the RTX 5070 Ti, RTX 5060 Ti, and finally the RTX 5060, are likely to arrive around the middle of 2025.
