Nvidia’s RTX 5070 reportedly set to launch alongside the RTX 5090 at CES 2025

Nvidia will reportedly announce its RTX 5070 GPU alongside the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 at CES 2025 in January. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang will be holding a CES keynote on January 6th, and now Wccftech claims that Nvidia will showcase a trio of next-generation RTX 50-series GPUs during Huang’s keynote.

Rumored specs of the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 leaked last month, with Nvidia’s flagship RTX 5090 expected to ship with 32GB of GDDR7 memory and a 600-watt spec. Wccftech reports that the RTX 5070 will feature a 192-bit memory bus with 12GB of GDDR7 VRAM. The RTX 5070 is also said to have a 250-watt total board power spec, 14 percent higher than the RTX 4070. Hardware leaker kopite7kimi has corroborated the report, suggesting the GPU will ship with 12GB of VRAM and the 250-watt spec.

Wccftech’s report also points to a more powerful RTX 5080 than expected. The unannounced GPU will reportedly have a 32Gbps memory speed instead of the rumored 28Gbps and a maximum bandwidth of 1024GB/s instead of the 896GB/s that was rumored. If these specs are correct, then, as VideoCardz points out, this could mean the RTX 5080 is faster and requires less power than the existing RTX 4090.

All three RTX 5090, 5080, and 5070 cards are said to be powered by a single 12VHPWR connector and will be based on Nvidia’s latest Blackwell architecture. Wccftech says Nvidia’s CES keynote will also focus on next-generation AI technologies for gaming with a “major surprise” expected.

Nvidia first announced its RTX 40-series of GPUs in September 2022, with the introduction of the RTX 4090 and RTX 4080. While Nvidia doesn’t typically announce next-gen GPUs at CES, it previously announced its RTX 40-series Super cards at CES 2024, with the RTX 4070 Super, RTX 4070 Ti Super, and RTX 4080 Super all having launched earlier this year.
