At CES this year, Joseph and I were able to attend Nvidia’s Editor’s Day, along with a number of other journalists, to learn all of the exciting details surround the RTX 5000 series. Much has been said following CEO Jensen Huang’s keynote address, but after going hands-on with the new tech and seeing advancements like Reflex 2 and DLSS 4 in action, we walked away excited and eager to see more.
With each new generation, Nvidia holds an Editor’s Day conference, allowing selected journalists the opportunity to take a deep dive into the new technology. This year, I made the flight down to Las Vegas for CES 2025 so I could attend alongside Joseph. The event consisted of multiple presentations, diving into the architecture, DLSS 4, Multi Frame generation, and the growing role of AI in PCs. There were a number of interesting things that were discussed but the most impactful was trying the RTX 5090 for ourselves and seeing the real world impact of DLSS 4 on FPS, but even more so, image quality.
RTX Blackwell will consist of the RTX 5070, RTX 5070 Ti, RTX 5080, and RTX 5090. These will all be released this year and all but the RTX 5070 Ti are planned to have Founders Edition models retailing at MSRP. For the first time in what seems like ages, the RTX 5090 feels like a worthwhile step up with nearly double the shader, AI, and RT TOPS and FLOPS, as well as twice the memory with a whopping 32GB of G7 memory. It will also retail for $1,999, while the RTX 5080 will debut at $999, the RTX 5070 Ti at $749, and RTX 5070 at $549.
The overarching theme, like the keynote, was that this generation was designed with AI in mind. While the “fake frames” meme has been running rampant, I’m here to tell you that there is real potential here and that Nvidia has banked heavily on its success. RTX Neural Shaders, DLSS 4, and local AI processing via a refined core system promise to both provide much more realistic visuals but, at least in
