Nvidia GeForce RTX 5000: Everything You Need To Know
The wait is almost over for the keenly-awaited bit of news in January. Nvidia has been working on its latest series of graphics cards, and it seems that the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5000 is finally around the corner.
Recently, several images have surfaced showing a huge PCB and GPU die with the latter measuring 744mm² compared to 608mm² for RTX 4000 GPUs – a significant increase. However, several tech commentators have raised concerns about the physical size of the PCB and resulting graphics card, including the cooler, and if compatibility with current cases might be affected, especially on the small form factor/mini-ITX side.
It’s already a challenge to fit large modern graphics cards into some cases, but if the RTX 5000 series is significantly larger, it could pose problems, especially with small form factor systems. The width of the card seems to be the main point of concern, which would definitely impact compatibility, especially as the power connector has also been on the side, further adding to the clearance needed.
In other news, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5000 series will retain its naming scheme and feature six models launching, but without exact time frames. In the past, Nvidia has had a wide window of availability with several months between the initial launch and the final models being released. This was certainly the case with the RTX 4060, which was available many months after the RTX 4090’s arrival in October 2022.
Based on this timeline, it seems that reviews for the first launch wave that will likely include the RTX 5090 will follow at the end of January or beginning of February, with availability around the same time. This would be followed by a month-long gap before the release of the RTX 5070 Ti and then the remaining models later in the year.
The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5000 series is expected to launch in early 2025, but no official announcement has been made yet.
