With much anticipation, NVIDIA kicks off 2025 on a high note with the unveiling of its Blackwell-based RTX 50 series GPUs. Leading the pack is the RTX 5090, which boasts 32GB of GDDR7 memory, a 512-bit memory bus, and 21,760 CUDA cores. You’re getting 575w of power, which is a 125w increase over the RTX 4090.
What’s the payoff with the higher wattage? The RTX 5090 offers as much as 2x better performance than the RTX 4090 in games like Cyberpunk 2077, Alan Wake 2, and Black Myth: Wukong. This is made possible with the combination of both DLSS and Ray Tracing.
Moving to the RTX 5080, you get 16GB GDDR7 memory on a 256-bit bus, 10,752 CUDA cores, and a 360w TDP–40w higher than the RTX 4080. As for the RTX 5070 Ti, you get 16GB GDDR7 memory, 8,960 CUDA cores, while the RTX 5070 has 12GB GDDR7 memory and 6,144 CUDA cores.
All RTX 50 series GPUs support DisplayPort 2.1b, HDMI 2.1a, and PCIe 5.0 via a 16-pin power connector.
The RTX 50 series starts at $549(~Php 32k) for the RTX 5070, and goes all the way up to $1999(~Php 117k) for the RTX 5090. For the latter, that’s a $400 price hike from the RTX 4090.
They will be available starting January 30 for the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080, and February for the RTX 5070 Ti and RTX 5070.
