The Nvidia RTX 5090 Founders Edition is coming on January 30, 2025. There will also be an RTX 5080 Founders Edition launching on the same date, with an RTX 5070 Founders Edition coming in February. What about the RTX 5070 Ti? It's also coming in February, but without an Nvidia reference design — it's basically the same story as the RTX 40-series Founders Edition cards, with some slight tweaks.
Nvidia provided a full overview of the upcoming Founders Edition cards, along with a discussion of some of the underlying changes, during its Editors' Day on January 8. There was a lot of other information as well, and we have multiple other articles covering those topics: Nvidia Blackwell architecture, Neural Rendering DLSS 4, RTX AI PCs and generative AI for games, Blackwell for professionals and creators, and Blackwell benchmarking. But here, our focus will be on the reference cards and specs.
The full slide deck from the session is at the bottom of this article. We'll use some of those slides throughout our discussion.
