News Nvidia GeForce RTX 50-series reportedly launching 'soon' — but all indicators continue to point to a January 2025 reveal

[Admin]

A reputable leaker claims that Blackwell on GeForce is arriving "soon," but Igor's Lab claims otherwise with evidence to back it up. It's rumor-mongering on all sides, though a January launch still seems most likely.

Interesting because Dell is usually a good gauge when it comes to new hardware releases. Currently they are doing heavy discounts on their overpriced Alienware desktops.

Which would be perfect timing to clear inventory over the holiday shopping season in advance of a January launch.

Slow news day?
Here's something that should help:

AMD's RX 8000 series will launch soon.

Feel free to quote me on that, and be sure to like and subscribe to hype this video and help it soar up the leaderboards.

Here is to hoping the 5080 doesn’t disappoint, a tad faster than 4090 at the same price point of the 4080 Super 👌

Great, a cryptic post from a leaker. What's new?

nVidia has no rush on this for the reasons mentioned, like Radeon selling slow and Blackwell's ramp focus is currently on the datacenter. Yes, being able to sell for the holidays is one good reason, *kind of*, but as Jarred mentioned, many prefer to sell old stock rather than having to discount it even more as it competes with the newer products regarding holiday sales.

Heck, even if the 5090 is priced at $1,999 (which I believe it will be), that'll be lower margins for nVidia than what they could use that die space for with professional and datacenter use.
