The GeForce RTX 50 series is a series of consumer graphics processing units (GPUs) developed by Nvidia as part of its GeForce line of graphics cards, succeeding the GeForce 40 series. Announced at CES 2025, it debuted with the release of the RTX 5080 and RTX 5090 on January 30, 2025. It is based on Nvidia's Blackwell architecture featuring Nvidia RTX's fourth-generation RT cores for hardware-accelerated real-time ray tracing, and fifth-generation deep-learning-focused Tensor Cores. The GPUs are manufactured by TSMC on a custom 4N process node.
Background
In March 2024, Nvidia announced the Blackwell architecture for its datacenter products. Like Ampere, Blackwell is a shared architecture between both consumer and datacenter products rather than distinct architectures released simultaneously like Ada Lovelace for consumers and Hopper for datacenter.
At the Game Awards in December 2024, a cinematic trailer for The Witcher IV was shown which had been pre-rendered on an "unannounced Nvidia GeForce RTX GPU". This was assumed to be an upcoming GeForce RTX 50 series GPU.{{cite web |last1=Chacos |first1=Brad |date=December 13, 2024 |title=Nvidia stokes RTX 50-series hype with Witcher 4 and a global LAN party |url=https://www.pcworld.com/article/2556729/nvidia-stokes-rtx-50-series-hype-with-witcher-4-and-a-global-lan-party.html |website=PCWorld |language=en-US |access-date=January 6, 2025}}{{cite web |last1=Nasir |first1=Hassan |date=December 13, 2024 |title=Nvidia teases RTX 50 Blackwell Gaming GPUs for launch next month — The Witcher IV's first cinematic trailer likely leveraged the upcoming RTX 5090 |url=https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/gpus/nvidia-teases-rtx-50-blackwell-gaming-gpus-for-launch-next-month-the-witcher-ivs-first-cinematic-trailer-likely-leveraged-the-upcoming-rtx-5090 |website=Tom's Hardware |language=en-US |access-date=January 6, 2025}} Following the RTX 50 series announcement, Nvidia confirmed that the trailer was "pre-rendered in Unreal Engine 5 on a GeForce RTX 5090".{{cite web |last1=Bailey |first1=Dustin |date=January 7, 2025 |title=The Witcher 4's gorgeous reveal trailer was "pre-rendered" on Nvidia's $2,000 RTX 5090 |url=https://www.gamesradar.com/games/the-witcher/the-witcher-4s-gorgeous-reveal-trailer-was-pre-rendered-on-nvidias-usd2-000-rtx-5090/ |website=GamesRadar+ |language=en-US |access-date=January 9, 2025}} Later in the same month, it was reported that Nvidia had begun stockpiling GeForce RTX 50 series units in U.S. warehouses due to a looming 10% import tariff and 60% tariff on Chinese imports{{cite web |last1=Garreffa |first1=Anthony |date=December 26, 2024 |title=AMD and Nvidia ship next-gen gaming GPUs from China to US before Jan 20 to escape tariffs |url=https://www.tweaktown.com/news/102293/amd-and-nvidia-ship-next-gen-gaming-gpus-from-china-to-us-before-jan-20-escape-tariffs/index.html |website=TweakTown |language=en-US |access-date=January 6, 2025}}{{cite web |last1=Zuhair |first1=Muhammad |date=December 26, 2024 |title=Nvidia & AMD Rush To Ship Out Next-Gen GPUs To Avoid Trump Tariffs; GeForce RTX 5090 Estimated To Cost $2,500+ |url=https://wccftech.com/nvidia-amd-rushes-ship-out-next-gen-gpus-to-avoid-trump-tariffs/ |website=Wccftech |language=en-US |access-date=January 6, 2025}} that Donald Trump promised in his re-election campaign.{{cite web |last1=Arantani |first1=Lauren |date=October 15, 2024 |title=Trump vows to impose tariffs as experts warn of price hikes and angry allies |url=https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/oct/15/trump-tariffs-price-hikes-warnings |website=The Guardian |language=en-GB |access-date=January 6, 2025 |quote=Trump is proposing an at least 10% blanket tariff on all imports, with tariffs as high as 60% on goods from China.}}{{cite web |last1=Chu |first1=Ben |date=October 15, 2024 |title=Would Donald Trump's tariffs hurt US consumers? |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c20myx1erl6o |website=BBC News |language=en-GB |access-date=January 6, 2025}}

RTX 50 series GPUs are the first consumer GPUs to feature GDDR7 video memory for greater memory bandwidth over the same bus width compared to the GDDR6 and GDDR6X memory used in the GeForce 40 series. RTX 50 series desktop GPUs use GDDR7 modules from Samsung due to them being available for validation earlier than modules from SK Hynix and Micron.{{cite web |title=Nvidia reportedly prioritizes Samsung GDDR7 memory for desktop GeForce RTX 50 series |url=https://videocardz.com/newz/nvidia-reportedly-prioritizes-samsung-gddr7-memory-for-desktop-geforce-rtx-50-series |website=VideoCardz |language=en-US |date=November 25, 2024 |access-date=January 6, 2025}}{{cite web |last1=Mujtaba |first1=Hassan |date=November 25, 2024 |title=Nvidia GeForce RTX 50 "Blackwell" GPUs Reportedly Utilize Samsung's GDDR7 Memory Chips |url=https://wccftech.com/nvidia-geforce-rtx-50-blackwell-gpus-utilize-samsung-gddr7-memory-chips/ |website=Wccftech |language=en-US |access-date=January 6, 2025}}
= 12V-2×6 connector =
The GeForce RTX 50 series uses the 16-pin 12V-2×6 connector which is a revision of the 12VHPWR connector featured on the GeForce 40 series. There were problems with the 12VHPWR connector melting on some RTX 4090 GPUs due to the connector not being fully seated and connector design flaws that did not implement a high enough safety and error tolerance.{{cite web |last1=Mah Ung |first1=Gordon |date=June 15, 2023 |title=Melting GeForce RTX 4090 power cables: A timeline of events |url=https://www.pcworld.com/article/1372988/heres-what-we-know-about-the-geforce-rtx-4090-12vhpwr-cables-melting.html |website=PCWorld |language=en-US |access-date=January 6, 2025}} The 12V-2×6 connector revision, published by PCI-SIG in July 2023, addressed this by shortening the four sense pins so the connector will not push any power if it has not been fully seated.{{cite web |last1=Liu |first1=Zhiye |date=July 3, 2023 |title=16-Pin Power Connector Gets A Much-Needed Revision, Meet The New 12V-2x6 Connector |url=https://www.tomshardware.com/news/16-pin-power-connector-gets-a-much-needed-revision-meet-the-new-12v-2x6-connector |website=Tom's Hardware |language=en-US |access-date=January 6, 2025}} The 12VHPWR design would still draw up to 150W of power even if the sense pins were not making full contact. 12V-2×6 is backwards compatible with existing 12VHPWR cables and adapters.
Nvidia has mandated to its AIB partners that the 16-pin 12V-2×6 connector be used on all RTX 50 series designs.{{cite web |last1=Campbell |first1=Mark |date=February 19, 2024 |title=Nvidia to mandate 16-pin PCIe 6.0 power with RTX 50 series "Blackwell" GPUs |url=https://overclock3d.net/news/gpu-displays/nvidia-to-mandate-16-pin-pcie-6-0-power-with-rtx-50-series-blackwell-gpus/ |website=OC3D |language=en-GB |access-date=January 6, 2025}} With the GeForce 40 series, the 12VHPWR connector was only mandated on higher power cards such as the RTX 4070 Super, RTX 4070 Ti, RTX 4070 Ti Super, RTX 4080, RTX 4080 Super and RTX 4090 while RTX 4060, RTX 4060 Ti and RTX 4070 AIB designs had the option of using 8-pin PCIe connectors. The 600W-capable 12VHPWR connector would not have been necessary on sub-200W cards.

{{Main|DLSS 4.0}}
The fourth generation of Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) was unveiled alongside the RTX 50 series. DLSS 4 upscaling uses a new vision transformer-based model for enhanced image quality with reduced ghosting and greater image stability in motion compared to the previous convolutional neural network (CNN) model.{{cite web |last1=Leadbetter |first1=Richard |date=January 7, 2025 |title=Hands-on with DLSS 4 on Nvidia's new GeForce RTX 5080 |url=https://www.eurogamer.net/digitalfoundry-2025-hands-on-with-dlss-4-on-nvidias-new-geforce-rtx-5080 |website=Eurogamer |language=en-GB |access-date=January 7, 2025}} DLSS 4 also allows a greater number of frames to be generated and interpolated based on a single traditionally rendered frame. This form of frame generation called Multi Frame Generation is exclusive to the RTX 50 series while the GeForce 40 series is limited to one interpolated frame per traditionally rendered frame. Nvidia claims that DLSS 4's frame generation model uses 30% less video memory with the example of Warhammer 40,000: Darktide using 400 MB less memory at 4K resolution with frame generation enabled.{{cite web |last1=Lin |first1=Henry |last2=Burnes |first2=Andrew |date=January 6, 2025 |title=Nvidia DLSS 4 Introduces Multi Frame Generation & Enhancements For All DLSS Technologies |url=https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/news/dlss4-multi-frame-generation-ai-innovations/ |website=Nvidia |language=en-US |access-date=January 7, 2025}} Nvidia claims that 75 titles will integrate DLSS 4 Multi Frame Generation at launch, including Alan Wake 2, Cyberpunk 2077, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, and Star Wars Outlaws.{{cite web |last1=Mujtaba |first1=Hassan |date=January 6, 2025 |title=Nvidia DLSS 4 Delivers An Insane 8x Performance Boost Versus DLSS 3 With Multi Frame Generation Technology, Enhanced Upscaling For RTX 20 & Above |url=https://wccftech.com/nvidia-dlss-4-8x-faster-dlss-3-multi-frame-generation-enhanced-upscaling-rtx-20-above/ |website=Wccftech |language=en-US |access-date=January 7, 2025}}

The RTX 50 series includes DisplayPort 2.1b UHBR20 (80Gbps) with higher display output data rates to support high resolution and high refresh rate displays.{{cite web |last1=Garreffa |first1=Anthony |date=January 6, 2025 |title=Nvidia GeForce RTX 50 'Blackwell' GPU support DisplayPort 2.1b UHBR20, up to insane 8K 165Hz |url=https://www.tweaktown.com/news/102446/nvidia-geforce-rtx-50-blackwell-gpu-support-displayport-2-1b-uhbr20-up-to-insane-8k-165hz/index.html |website=TweakTown |language=en-US |access-date=January 9, 2025}} The GeForce 40 series received criticism for only including DisplayPort 1.4a (32Gbps) while the competing Radeon RX 7000 series included DisplayPort 2.1 UHBR13.5 (54Gbps). At CES 2025, VESA announced a collaboration with Nvidia on the new DP80LL ("low loss") UHBR20 active cable standard.{{cite press release |title=VESA to Update DisplayPort 2.1 with New Active Cable Specification for Up to 3x Longer DP80 Cables |url=https://vesa.org/press/vesa-to-update-displayport-2-1-with-new-active-cable-specification-for-up-to-3x-longer-dp80-cables/ |website=VESA |language=en-US |date=January 6, 2025 |access-date=January 6, 2025}} DP80LL allows for 80Gbps DisplayPort 2.1 cables up to 3 meters long as passive DP80 cables are limited in length due to signal integrity concerns.
The RTX 50 series introduces the ninth-generation NVENC encoder and sixth-generation NVDEC video decoder. For the first time in a consumer GeForce GPU, support is adding for encoding and decoding video in the 4:2:2 color format for professional-grade higher color depth.{{cite web |title=Nvidia GeForce RTX 50 series adds support for 4:2:2 color format video decoding and encoding |url=https://videocardz.com/newz/nvidia-geforce-rtx-50-series-adds-support-for-422-color-format-video-decoding-and-encoding |website=VideoCardz |language=en-US |date=January 8, 2025 |access-date=January 9, 2025}}

Antony Leather from Forbes described the RTX 5080 as "a decent upgrade from anything below or older than the RTX 4080 Super and 4080".{{Cite web |last=Leather |first=Antony |title=Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 Vs RTX 4090: And The Winner Is? |url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/antonyleather/2025/01/29/nvidia-geforce-rtx-5080-vs-rtx-4090-and-the-winner-is/ |access-date=2025-01-29 |website=Forbes |language=en}} However, he criticized that "there's only a 10% uplift over the RTX 4080 Super" in raw performance, with the RTX 4090 still being "quite a bit faster" without Multi Frame Generation, while the RTX 5080 only just overtakes the RTX 4090 with Multi Frame Generation enabled.
Andrew Cunningham from Ars Technica stated that the RTX 5080 "is the third-fastest GPU on the market [behind the RTX 5090 and RTX 4090], but it's far short of the 4090, and it performs more like a second refresh of 2022's RTX 4080".{{Cite web |last=Cunningham |first=Andrew |date=2025-01-29 |title=Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 review: More like a 4080 Super Super |url=https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2025/01/nvidia-geforce-rtx-5080-review-more-like-a-4080-super-super/ |access-date=2025-01-29 |website=Ars Technica |language=en-US}} He praised the RTX 5080's MSRP of US$999 and described it as a "good 4K card", but called it "[b]arely an upgrade over the RTX 4080 Super".
IGN praised the RTX 5080's overall performance, modest increase in power demand over its predecessor, and MSRP, though noted that "[i]t's [...] not quite the performance uplift that hardcore enthusiasts who upgrade every generation are going to want to see".{{Cite web |last=Thomas |first=Jacqueline |date=2025-01-29 |title=Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 Review |url=https://www.ign.com/articles/nvidia-geforce-rtx-5080-review |access-date=2025-01-29 |website=IGN |language=en}} Also, while the 16 GB of VRAM "should be enough memory for most people", "it would have been nice to see the RTX 5080 adopt the 24GB featured on the RTX 4090, especially since this GPU is being pitched as a 4K graphics card".

The RTX 5070 Ti had a lukewarm reception just like the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080. While it was generally praised for its competitive performance at 1440P and 4K resolutions relative to previous generation graphics cards, it also received criticism, most commonly for the card normally only being available at $900 or above, despite Nvidia's listed MSRP of $750.{{Cite web |last=Walton |first=Jarred |date=2025-02-20 |title=Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti review: A proper high-end GPU, if you can find it at MSRP |url=https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/gpus/nvidia-geforce-rtx-5070-ti-review-asus |access-date=2025-02-23 |website=Tom's Hardware |language=en}}
Andrew Cunningham from Ars Technica called the RTX 5070 Ti "essentially an RTX 4080 that also supports DLSS Multi-Frame Generation". While the card was praised for its excellent overall performance and being capable of 4K gaming, it was criticized for its poor price-to-performance and mediocre performance uplift.{{Cite web |last=Cunningham |first=Andrew |date=2025-02-21 |title=Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti review: An RTX 4080 for $749, at least in theory |url=https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2025/02/nvidia-geforce-rtx-5070-ti-review-an-rtx-4080-for-749-at-least-in-theory/ |access-date=2025-02-23 |website=Ars Technica |language=en}} TechPowerUp{{'}}s review of the RTX 5070 Ti found large performance gains relative to the RTX 4070 Ti, praising its performance relative to AMD's at-the-time flagship RX 7900 XTX, the new DLSS 4 Frame Generation technology, and its efficiency and performance, although it did also receive criticism for its inflated MSRP.{{Cite web |last=W1zzard |date=2025-02-20 |title=MSI GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Vanguard SOC Review |url=https://www.techpowerup.com/review/msi-geforce-rtx-5070-ti-vanguard-soc/ |access-date=2025-02-23 |website=TechPowerUp |language=en}} IGN praised the performance of the RTX 5070 Ti and its value relative to the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080, stating "Not only is it the first RTX 5000 graphics card that provides a decent uplift over its predecessor, but it does so with a lower price tag than the $799 RTX 4070 Ti".{{Cite web |last=Thomas |first=Jacqueline |date=2025-02-20 |title=Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Review |url=https://www.ign.com/articles/nvidia-geforce-rtx-5070-ti-review |access-date=2025-02-23 |website=IGN |language=en}} The RTX 5070 Ti was later criticized for being just as Powerful as the Competitors RX 9070 XT, which had an UVP almost 100$ Cheaper.

The RTX 5060 Ti received moderate praise for its performance uplift over older RTX 4060 Ti and 3060 Ti cards,{{Cite web |last=Thomas |first=Jacqueline |date=2025-04-22 |title=Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 Ti Review |url=https://www.ign.com/articles/nvidia-geforce-rtx-5060-ti-review |access-date=2025-06-22 |website=IGN |language=en}}{{Cite web |date=2025-04-17 |title=More Marketing BS: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti Review & Benchmarks vs GTX 1060, 4060 Ti, & More {{!}} GamersNexus |url=https://gamersnexus.net/gpus/more-marketing-bs-nvidia-geforce-rtx-5060-ti-review-benchmarks-vs-gtx-1060-4060-ti-more |access-date=2025-06-22 |website=gamersnexus.net |language=en}} although much attention was brought to the 8GB version's low VRAM capacity. According to Tom's Hardware, the 8GB version was unable to perform well at higher resolutions.{{Cite web |author1=Jarred Walton |date=2025-04-16 |title=Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB review: More VRAM and a price 'paper cut' could make for a compelling GPU |url=https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/gpus/nvidia-geforce-rtx-5060-ti-16gb-review |access-date=2025-06-22 |website=Tom's Hardware |language=en}}
The $50 price difference between the 5060 Ti 8GB and 16GB versions, in contrast to the previous generation $100 difference between the RTX 4060 Ti 8GB and 16GB, led to a general preference for the 5060 Ti 16GB, although much like the other RTX 50 Series cards, the 5060 Ti suffered pricing much higher than MSRP. TechPowerUp{{'}}s review of the card noted that "On paper, the 8 GB variant is supposed to be priced at $380, and the 16 GB variant at $430, but we now know that these prices are pure fiction. The RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB is realistically available from $500 mark, $70 higher than NVIDIA's starting price; while the RTX 5060 Ti 8 GB is priced closer to its natural MSRP".{{Cite web |last1=W1zzard |last2=on |last3=NVIDIA |first3=in Graphics Cards Manufacturer |date=2025-04-22 |title=NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8 GB Review - So Many Compromises |url=https://www.techpowerup.com/review/gainward-geforce-rtx-5060-ti-8-gb/ |access-date=2025-06-22 |website=TechPowerUp |language=en}}

Like the 5060 Ti 8GB, the RTX 5060 is, according to Techspot limited by its 8GB VRAM capacity. Techspot{{'}}s review stated that "It's frustrating how good the RTX 5060 could have been. Even with just 12 GB of VRAM, we might have been able to tentatively recommend it at its current price. With 16 GB, it could have been a genuinely solid product".{{Cite web |date=2025-05-22 |title=Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 Review: They Didn't Want This Out |url=https://www.techspot.com/review/2992-nvidia-geforce-rtx-5060/ |access-date=2025-06-22 |website=TechSpot |language=en-US}}
James Archer from Rock Paper Shotgun described the RTX 5060 as an affordable option for 1080p, but "not equipped" for 1440p,{{Cite news |last1=Archer |first1=James |last2=Archer |first2=James |date=2025-04-16 |title=Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB review: an all-rounder that's better all round |url=https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/nvidia-geforce-rtx-5060-ti-16gb-review |access-date=2025-06-22 |work=Rock, Paper, Shotgun |language=en}} while Jacob Roach from XDA cited the Intel Arc B580 as "the one card that really kills the credibility of the RTX 5060", with its 12GB VRAM capacity. This despite the Arc B580 costing around $320 compared to the RTX 5060's $300 MSRP.{{Cite web |last=Roach |first=Jacob |date=2025-05-30 |title=Nvidia's RTX 5060 already feels out of date |url=https://www.xda-developers.com/nvidia-geforce-rtx-5060-review/ |access-date=2025-06-22 |website=XDA |language=en}}
