A popular benchmarking site has leaked crucial information on pretty much the entire NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50 series lineup, including specs and release time frames.
A trusted computer benchmarking site has leaked crucial information on pretty much the entire NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50 seires lineup. Of note is how the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti handily trumps the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti in CUDA cores and will be quite the spec bump from the GeForce RTX 5070 when they go on sale next year, likely for quite a bit of money.
Taiwanese tech benchmarking site Benchlife was the one that spilled the beans on NVIDIA’s upoming GeForce RTX 50 series GPUs, some of which are expected to launch at the Consumer Electronics Show in January. How many remains to be seen, but here’s the alleged release schedule:
GeForce RTX 5090: Q1 2025
GeForce RTX 5090D: Q1 2025
GeForce RTX 5080: Q1 2025
GeForce RTX 5070: Q1 2025
GeForce RTX 5070 Ti: Q1 2025
GeForce RTX 5060: TBA
GeForce RTX 5060 Ti: TBA
It’s worth noting that the lowest tier 5060s will probably arrive later than the rest. Perhaps NVIDIA wants to stagger the budget model away from the proper money-makers? Rumors expect the 5060 to launch sometime in April, but of course that could change.
The site also confirms early reports that the GB203-backed 5070 Ti will draw 300 watts and sport 8,960 CUDA cores. Even the (still pretty awesome) 4070 Ti gets around with 7,680 cores, which means the new card could be quite a handful, in a good way.
The previously rumored 5080D variant is also missing from this list. The last generation 4090D was a China-only product with fewer cores and a lower power draw made for the sole purpose of circumventing China export regulations. Does this mean that even the 5080D doesn’t meet the restrictions now?
So far, further leaks have stated that the Blackwell architecture GPU of the RTX 50-series will support DDR7 memory and adopt the PCIe 5.0 specification.
