It Begins… RTX 5080, 5070 Ti, & 5070 Leaked
Nvidia should be releasing their RTX 50 GPUs by the end of 2024, and it looks like according to leaks they will start with the RTX 5090, 5080, 5070 Ti, and 5070. These new RTX 50 Blackwell GPUs are supposed to bring enormous increases in performance, and may even be reducing prices.

Nvidia will probably murder whole enthusiasm with pricing... BTW. 5070 with 12GB would be borderline retarded as even with 30% uplift form 4070 it would already be moderately performant card in 4K. And 12GB for 4K is not enough.

[malonius_]

5070 with 12 GB of Vram is just hilarious

[MrSiKO]

Give me at least 20gb vram on the 5080

[NollieFlipX]

The fact they are still pushing the 5070s of any kind with 12GB saddens me.

[tofu_golem]

Uh, who cares if the cards are faster if they are wildly overpriced for what they deliver?

And even if graphics cards were reasonably priced, most games these days are not very fun and full of sleazy monetization.

I don't even know why I still watch these videos. Habit, I guess.

Keep in mind, 3GB (24Gb) density GDDR7 isn't shipping until 2025, according to DRAM makers.
You are unlikely to see 96-bit/9GB, 128-bit/12GB, 192-bit/18GB, 256-bit/24GB, 384-bit/36GB VRAM until after 2025, Q1.
Basically an easy way to do a Super refresh.

Remember kids, 30% more performance will cost you 30% more $$$. Jensen Huang strongly believes this and it really showed this generation. Also DDR7 is new and expensive, don't expect a bump in memory size until the generation that follows. Set your expectations lol.

That power connector still scares the crap out of me. Would've upgraded from RTX 3080 to 4080 had it not been for that connector.

[austintaylor]

NVIDIA is going to do NVIDIA things just like AMD never misses an opportunity to miss an opportunity ...

[kamgaming]

It will be very disappointing probably, do not expect anything great from 50 series. 5060 and 5060 Ti will probably be 5-10% more performance and with 8GB Vram, if that happens i am sticking with my 3060 Ti for longer.

5050 - 8GB
5060/5060 Ti - 8GB
5070/5070 Ti - 12GB
5080 - 16GB
5090 - 24/32GB

[among-us-]

Don’t believe people who say that VRAM doesn’t matter once you have more than the minimum.
Every single additional gigabyte brings _huge_ improvements for non gaming workloads, you know, actual useful stuff

[lootjunior]

Don't think the price will be low, the just released their "Super" series so I dont expect them to undercut themselves. Would be cool tho

[johndelabretonne]

The Hardware Times article that you are quoting in this video has nearly completely MISQUOTED Moore's Law is Dead. He DID NOT claim that the "three" top-end Blackwell laptop GPUs would feature 16GB of memory across a 256-bit bus. He claimed that the top "TWO" cards (I'm assuming 5090 & 5080ti?/5080?) would have a 256-bit bus with 16GB of VRAM, which is up from 8 GB on the 4080 tier. And he very specifically claimed that the next tier down (I'm assuming 5070ti/5070 ???) would only have 12 GB of VRAM, but that it was also up from 8 GB on the 40 series. He said that everything else (4060?) would still be 128-bit with 8GB, and mentioned that it was disappointing for 2025. This info is very easy to corroborate --- it's in the first 10-15 minutes of his most recent video, and the video is timestamped to find it easily. Why don't these supposed news outlets just quote his statement directly instead of paraphrasing everything incorrectly and acting like they are quoting?

[pingislife]

I won't bother with an iffy power connector that may or may not melt. I also won't bother with a graphics card that will turn my room into a rudimentary oven.

[bfhandsomeface]

GPUs under $500 with actually good price to performance would be nice this time!

[vvhitevvizard_]

3060 -> 4060 +7% perf, 3060 ti -> 4060 ti +3% perf.
I guess, 4060 -> 5060 will be the same Nvidia greediness. There is no point to upgrade.

[kenshirogenjuro]

I’m not expecting prices to get more reasonable. On the good side we’re seeing a sizable performance increase. But the current gen prices remain high. 4080s are still around $1100. Regular 4070s are still over $500. 4090s are still $1800. We’re near the end of the generation. This is when really no one should be buying top-end cards without considerable price reductions. In a market with sane buyers 4090s should be around $1K by now. Vanilla 4070s should have been driven down to $400 tops by slow sales.

Nvidia will move prices up. The healthy gain I see the 5070 making is fantastic in a vacuum, but my guess is what they really want is to maneuver that card to around $700-750…closer in price and performance to its ti variant. Especially with AMD opting against competing in anything above $500 or so, they want gamers to feel they have no recourse to opt out of $700 as the entry-point for enthusiast cards with green logos on them.

Then the 5070ti will have an announced $900 MSRP but nothing available at release, hitting the market at a $1K typical selling price a few months in.

I also see the 5080 getting cemented to no less than $1200 MSRP, with a $1500 minimum target price after they employ their usual trickle release, supply-limiting shenanigans. While the 5090 will be a $2K card for a small number of people who get the initial release (mostly scalpers including vendors “buying” their own cards to resell at a higher price), with Nvidia hoping to employ these scalper dynamics to inch it up to $2.5-3K over the first few months, however far their actual buyers are willing to cape for their nonsense.

[topelite]

I cant wait for the nerfed 5060 7.5gb chip which performs 1% better than a 3060

[SavantApostle]

After thinking about it, I like the idea of making a generation cheaper instead of better. More people will have similar preformance which will lower the workload of developers in terms of optimizing.
