Everything on the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5000 series video cards
What's the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5000 series?
The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5000 series video cards use the Blackwell architecture. These video cards are the successor to the RTX 4000 series, which use the Ada Lovelace architecture. The 5000 series has a better chipset, so you can game with a better performance. The most noticeable upgrades of the RTX 5000 series are the VRAM and the new DLSS 4.0 version. The RTX 5000 5090 has 32GB RAM with a 28Gbit/s speed, for example. You can perform more demanding tasks at the same time this way, like editing 3D images with a high image quality and editing videos.
What are the improvements?
More RAM
The RTX 5000 series video cards use GDDR7 RAM, so you can game with a 4K image quality and ray tracing technology. Ray tracing ensures realistic light effects and shadows in your games. The top model of the RTX 5000 series is the RTX 5090. This GPU has 32GB VRAM. Thanks to this high RAM, you can play large games with the best image quality and edit 3D photos and videos faster. The RTX 5000 series video cards also have more CUDA cores, so you can game with more frames per second. This way, you can enjoy a smooth gameplay.
DLSS 4.0 support
The new DLSS 4.0 version ensures a great boost in the number of frames. You can game with 75% more frames with DLSS 4.0 compared to DLSS 3.5, even when you play in 4K. This AI of the newest generation DLSS creates 3 extra frames for every frame that the GPU renders. This makes your games look realistic with the best light effects, so your frame rate goes down.
AI TOPS
The RTX 5090 has almost 3 times as many AI TOPS as the RTX 4090. AI TOPS provide more AI processing power for the video card. The more AI TOPS a GPU has, the faster it can render images with a high image quality. This also affects the DLSS, as this technology creates more frames with AI. More and more games use AI technologies, so a video card with a high AI TOPS is more future-proof.
Laptops and desktops with RTX 5000 video cards
There are also laptops and desktops with built-in RTX 5000 video cards. There are 4 models of the RTX 5000 series for laptops: the RTX5090, 5080, 5070 Ti, and 5070. The RTX 5090 is the most powerful video card. With this, you can large games like Starfield and Microsoft Flight Simulator with a high number of fps. Even when you game with a high image quality, you're not bothered by screen tearing. Laptops with RTX 5000 video cards are more energy-efficient because they have a 40% longer battery life thanks to the Max-Q technology. The desktop video cards RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 are available from 30 January 2025. NVIDIA will launch the RTX 5070 Ti and RTX 5070 for desktops in February. The RTX 5090, 5080, 5070 Ti video cards for laptops are expected to launch in March, and the RTX 5070 in April. You can buy these video cards at Coolblue once they're available.
