• Rumors counsel Nvidia’s RTX 5000 sequence Tremendous GPU fashions are on observe for launch later in 2025
• The RTX 5080 Tremendous is purported to have 24GB of VRAM, matching the RTX 4090’s
• It seems to be the perfect alternative for Nvidia to enhance upon its Blackwell launch mishaps

It has been a very long time since Nvidia launched its RTX 5000 sequence GPUs in late January, adopted by different configurations in later months, after a CES 2025 keynote that showcased the Blackwell GPUs. Nonetheless, it appears Nvidia won’t be performed with new GPU launches in 2025 simply but.

In line with TweakTown, Nvidia is ready to launch RTX 5000 sequence Tremendous fashions later this vacation season, which generally means November or December. The RTX 5080, RTX 5070 Ti, and RTX 5070 are the GPUs reported to obtain Tremendous upgrades, with the brand new 5080 and 5070 Ti reportedly set to make use of 24GB of VRAM.

Pricing is not finalized, and there are no figures to work from at this level. However contemplating Workforce Inexperienced’s earlier transfer was decreasing the RTX 4080 Tremendous worth (as a barely extra highly effective GPU) in comparison with the usual mannequin, we might see an analogous sample once more.

There is no sugarcoating the extent of controversy that shrouded the Blackwell GPUs, with lacking specs (ROPs), an absence of availability, and most significantly, inflated costs throughout a number of on-line retailers. With the RTX 5000 sequence Tremendous fashions, Nvidia and, notably, its board companions, have an opportunity to proper these wrongs.

A mixture of improved efficiency throughout the board and adjusted worth factors may go wonders – and that largely applies to the RTX 5080 doubtlessly closing the hole on the RTX 4090 (supposedly utilizing 24GB of VRAM). It might be much more attention-grabbing to see an RTX 5060 Tremendous utilizing extra VRAM, however we’ll have to attend and see.

Evaluation: If costs for these Tremendous GPUs are out of whack, then neglect I even talked about this…

Above all, if these Tremendous GPU mannequin rumors are legit, costs will as soon as once more decide their success. Whereas I am conscious that Nvidia could have good intentions with extra affordable pricing, all of that work may very well be undone by board companions and retailers marking up costs considerably.

It is the identical problem that botched AMD’s Radeon RX 9000 sequence launch for a lot of; the Radeon RX 9070 XT was seen as the cheap and highly effective different to Blackwell mid to high-tier GPUs, at $599 / £569 (round AU$944), however the market informed a distinct story with costs hovering far above that.

Happily, costs have not too long ago fallen again right down to authentic retail pricing, which I am seeing with extra inventory and availability for each Workforce Inexperienced and Workforce Crimson GPUs than ever earlier than.

I am hoping that costs can stabilize and keep inside affordable ranges main as much as the eventual launch of Nvidia’s new Tremendous GPU fashions, because it might lower the possibilities of ludicrous pricing. Let’s simply watch this area…

• AMD is not giving up on high-end GPUs – a brand new leak hints at a brand new Radeon GPU difficult Nvidia’s next-gen flagship graphics card
• The Steam Deck 2 and a house console are reportedly within the works – and Sony could also be serving to to show the hand held into the transportable PlayStation recreation gadget I really need
• No person needs 8GB GPUs from Nvidia and AMD – and this retailer simply made that clear
