Hunger never ends, Nvidia 5000 series on track. All we know about the next-gen graphics cards

As Intel enters the GPU competition with its Arc series, the graphics card industry becomes increasingly competitive. However, Nvidia's GeForce RTX 4000 series continues to dominate our best GPU rankings, and rightfully so. Not only does it boast remarkable ray-tracing capabilities, but it also delivers smoother frame rates through a combination of DLSS 3.5 and frame generation—features exclusive to the Ada Lovelace GPUs.

Moreover, Nvidia's forthcoming RTX 5000 series, codenamed "Blackwell" after mathematician David Blackwell, promises to surpass the current generation. These new graphics cards could introduce high-bandwidth GDDR7 memory, MCM design, PCIe 5.0 support, and various other enhancements. In this article, we'll delve into all the rumors and leaks surrounding the GeForce RTX 5000 family.

Nvidia typically adheres to a two-year release cycle for consumer graphics cards, often refreshing the current-generation hardware approximately one year into its lifecycle. Given that Team Green introduced the Super variants of its current RTX 4000 GPUs in January 2024, it's reasonable to expect the unveiling of the Blackwell series sometime between late 2024 and early 2025.

HardwareLUXX, a German tech website, previously indicated that the release of "Ada Lovelace-Next" graphics cards might not occur until 2025. Conversely, Youtuber Moore’s Law Is Dead suggested the possibility of an earlier launch, potentially in Q4 2024. The timing of this release, according to the informant who provided the tip, depends on the sales performance of the RTX 4000 lineup and the competitive landscape with AMD’s upcoming RDNA 4 series GPUs. Regardless of the outcome, if Nvidia unveils the top-tier RTX 5090 by CES 2025, there's a chance we could witness the introduction of low and mid-range RTX 5000 GPUs before the year's end.

As for the pricing of the upcoming graphics cards, it remains uncertain. The RTX series has a reputation for being expensive, and it's anticipated that the trend of high prices will persist with the Blackwell family. If we assume that the flagship GPU will be the RTX 5090 rather than a 5090 Ti, it's likely to launch at a similar (or potentially higher) price point of $1,599, akin to the current-generation GeForce RTX 4090.

Nvidia GeForce RTX 5000 series: What we could see

Potential MCM design

In contrast to AMD, Nvidia has adhered to using monolithic dies for its graphics cards. A monolithic chip integrates all circuitry onto a single die, making it challenging to reduce transistor size without enlarging the overall chip. On the other hand, a Multi-Chip Module (MCM) approach entails incorporating separate chips, known as chiplets, interconnected via interposers onto a single substrate. This approach enhances the scalability of MCM-based chips and enables manufacturers to incorporate superior specifications.

As per information from online leaker, Nvidia's GB100 and GB102 data center chips are set to adopt an MCM design rather than the conventional monolithic architecture. Similarly, it is anticipated that the high-end GB202 chip will introduce the MCM architecture to consumer GPUs.

Higher bandwidth GDDR7 memory

Many GPU enthusiasts expressed disappointment with the Ada Lovelace family as Nvidia opted to retain the GDDR6X and GDDR6 memory from older GPUs. However, rumors suggest that the flagship graphics card(s) of the RTX 5000 series will utilize the latest GDDR7 memory.

To provide context, the GeForce RTX 4090 boasted a memory bandwidth of 1,008 GB/s, matching that of the previous-generation GeForce RTX 3090 Ti. In contrast, rumors indicate that the RTX 5090 could achieve a remarkable 1,536 GB/s memory bandwidth, representing a significant 52% increase!

There have been numerous rumors regarding the memory bus of the GeForce 5090 as well. Initially, kopite7kimi suggested that the flagship Blackwell graphics card would feature a 512-bit memory interface. However, the leaker later reversed course, stating that the GeForce RTX 5090 would retain the same 384-bit bus as the RTX 4090 and RTX 3090 Ti. In March 2024, he reverted to his earlier claim, asserting that the top-tier GPU of the Blackwell family would indeed feature a 512-bit memory bus.
