Approximate characteristics
The release window for all mentioned cards is January through March, with two additional models, GeForce RTX 5060 Ti and GeForce RTX 5060, whose arrival date remains uncertain. They are widely expected to arrive in April, following the initial wave.
According to the circulating information, the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti would use a GB203-300 graphics processor and 8,960 CUDA cores. The model is expected to launch with 16 GB of GDDR7 memory. The GeForce RTX 5070 would be built around the GB205 GPU with 6,400 CUDA cores and 13 GB of GDDR7 memory. The power draw is estimated at 300 W for the 5070 Ti and 250 W for the 5070.
The lineup is anticipated to be officially unveiled at CES 2025. Pricing chatter began circulating in October, suggesting a higher-end positioning with varying expectations across markets.
Another rumor around the flagship RTX 5090 hints that its price could come in lower than early projections, adding a twist to the anticipated lineup.
A light note about piracy and online discourse circulated, but it has no bearing on the hardware release details.
There are ongoing discussions and reports across outlets, with details that remain unconfirmed and subject to change.
