NVIDIA's next-generation GeForce RTX 50 series graphics cards will be released in 2025, where we should be introduced to the next-gen GeForce RTX 5090, GeForce RTX 5080, and GeForce RTX 5070 graphics cards to truly power your next-gen Gaming PC... and hopefully some surprises in between.

The new "Ada Lovelace Next" GPU architecture will power the GeForce RTX 50 series cards, the successor to the "Ada Lovelace" GPU architecture that powers the GeForce RTX 40 series graphics cards inside of our Ready to Ship Gaming PCs. We will see NVIDIA launch its next-gen GeForce RTX 50 series GPUs in 2025, with some refresh cards probably launching later this year or in 2024.

The current flagship is the GeForce RTX 4090 with 24GB of GDDR6X memory... so what could we expect from the GeForce RTX 5090? Well, we should see an upgrade to GDDR7 memory for one, and secondly, 24GB wouldn't be enough for a successor to the RTX 4090, let alone a new flagship GPU in 2025 and beyond. The next logical step would be 32GB of GDDR7, but I personally think (and hope) we'll see 48GB of GDDR7 memory on the next-gen GeForce RTX 5090.
