Nvidia releases RTX 50 series graphics cards starting at $549, with the highest price being $1,999

On the morning of January 7th, Beijing time, Nvidia officially released a new graphics card-RTX 50 series at CES 2025. The new Nvidia RTX 50 series graphics cards include RTX 5070, RTX 5070Ti, RTX 5080, and the flagship RTX 5090, priced at US$549, US$749, US$999, and US$1999 respectively (approximately 4023 yuan, 5489 yuan, 7322 yuan, and 14651 yuan respectively). Yuan).

NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang introduced the new RTX 50 series graphics cards at the press conference. He said that the RTX 50 series uses the latest Blackwell architecture. The GPU has 92 billion transistors, 4000 TOPS, and four AI processing units. Its performance is that of the previous generation Ada. three times. Huang Renxun said that the new RTX 5070 is comparable to the previous generation RTX 4090 in terms of performance. Considering that new graphics cards have generally been leapfrogged in performance (RTX 4080 beats RTX 3090), this time the RTX 5070 can be comparable to the previous generation 4090, which shows the performance improvement. The magnitude is not small.

Nvidia’s Blackwell architecture has faced overheating challenges in the past, especially with server processors. In November, thermal issues arose when Blackwell processors were installed in high-capacity server racks. These problems caused design changes and delays. Major customers, including Google, Meta, and Microsoft, raised concerns about whether Blackwell servers would deploy on time. These issues primarily affected server chips. However, questions remain about whether the Blackwell architecture will improve heat dissipation for PC applications.
