Nvidia appears to be on the verge of unveiling its highly anticipated RTX 50 series GPUs, with the company itself dropping a subtle hint about the upcoming launch. A video promoting Nvidia's LAN party, set to take place from January 4th to 6th, features a shadowy PC that, upon closer inspection, reveals a previously unseen GPU design.
The image, which has been brightened to expose the GPU, suggests that the new graphics card may be an RTX 5080 or 5070 Ti, according to VideoCardz. While the design is unfamiliar, it has sparked intense speculation about the potential candidates, with possibilities including an RTX 5090, an RTX 5080, and an RTX 5070 Ti.
This development comes on the heels of recent leaks from Zotac and Acer, which indicated that Nvidia may be preparing to launch as many as five RTX 50 series GPUs in the near future. The rumors have been further fueled by a separate leak from MSI, which revealed an RTX 5080 featuring 16GB of GDDR7 memory.
Nvidia's lack of secrecy surrounding the potential launch has only added to the excitement. The company's LAN party, dubbed the "GeForce LAN 50," and Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's CES keynote on January 6th at 9:30PM ET, have raised expectations that the RTX 50 series GPUs will be officially unveiled during the event.
The implications of this launch are significant, with the RTX 50 series expected to bring substantial performance upgrades and new features to the gaming community. As the industry waits with bated breath for Nvidia's official announcement, one thing is clear: the RTX 50 series is poised to be a major player in the world of gaming and graphics.
In the coming days, we can expect more information to emerge about the RTX 50 series, including specifications, pricing, and availability. As the story continues to unfold, one thing is certain – Nvidia is gearing up to make a major splash in the world of gaming and technology.
