Title: Unveiling the RTX 5090: Pros and Cons Revealed
Rewritten Article:
Nvidia unveiled four graphics cards from its RTX 5000-series at CES in Las Vegas, and the news brings a mix of positives and negatives regarding pricing. The prices for the RTX 5090, 5080, 5070 Ti, and 5070 were announced, along with availability details. All four cards will be available this month.
Unveiling the RTX 5000 Series: What's New?
Pricing: The Good, Bad, and Ugly
Some graphics cards in the RTX 5000 series have significant price increases, while others are more affordable compared to their RTX 4000-series counterparts. The price for the RTX 5090 is $400 more than the RTX 4090's launch price, amounting to $1,999. The RTX 5080, however, is priced $200 lower than the RTX 4080 at its introductory price. The RTX 5070 Ti follows suit with a lower launch price than the RTX 4070 Ti by $50. Conclusively, the RTX 5070 will retail for $549, a $50 reduction.
This news might not have pleased rival companies like AMD and Intel, who have focused on affordable and mid-range graphics cards, offering value and attempting to reduce Nvidia's market grip. The potential reduction in price for lower-end cards like the RTX 5070 might impact the graphics market unfavorably for Nvidia.
If your heart is set on the RTX 5090, you may have to shell out more. Conversely, for other cards, you'll be paying less than you did with the RTX 4000 series. This revelation is quite different from recent predictions suggesting large price increments for the RTX 5090 and 5080. There's been no discussion yet about cards below the RTX 5070.
When Can You Get Your Hands on the RTX 5000 Series?
The RTX 5090 and 5080 will be available on Jan. 30, while the RTX 5070 Ti and 5070 will hit the shelves in February. Nvidia seems to be skipping its Founders Edition model on the RTX 5070 Ti, but this model will be available for purchase directly from the company's website.
Upcoming RTX 5060 and 5060 Ti Releases
The highly anticipated RTX 5060 Ti and RTX 5060 are expected to make an appearance soon, but no specific information about their release dates has been revealed. This delay is typical, as the RTX 4060 and 4060 Ti appeared at least a few months after the initial launch of the RTX 4000 series, featuring cards like the RTX 4090 and 4080.
The Bright Side of the RTX 5090
The RTX 5090, dubbed the Blackwell architecture-based model, was on display during the event, featuring a new, sleek Founders Edition cooler design. The most striking feature of this new design is its reduced size. In comparison to the massive triple-slot RTX 4090, the RTX 5090 appears to be approximately one slot thinner, posing fewer clearance problems in PC cases.
This change implies that other models may be smaller as well, bringing up questions regarding existing specifications and power consumption numbers, as the rumors fell far short of predicting a two-slot RTX 5090. It will be intriguing to observe whether partner cards perfectly emulate this slim fit and if any dual-slot options emerge.
