Nvidia has officially revealed its next-gen GPU, codename Blackwell, providing us with a glimpse at the tech that could power the RTX 5090. However, you might want to curb your enthusiasm if you were hoping to hear more about the future of GeForce graphics cards, as the GTC keynote almost entirely focuses on the company’s AI ambitions. The tech giant’s CEO even invites a few robots on stage, so the 2004 action romp I, Robot might become a thing before we get our hands on a new card.
It’s no secret that Nvidia is now investing in more than just the best graphics card race, and AI is now arguably its biggest business interest. That’s in contrast to the many gamers and gaming PC enthusiasts who have been buying GPUs like the GeForce RTX 4090 over the years, as many will have been waiting to hear something about the RTX 5090. In fairness, this specific GPU technology conference doesn’t normally delve too far into the gaming side of things, but it’s still the first time Nvidia has delved into its next-gen architecture on an official basis.
