Jakarta – Nvidia’s presentation at CES 2025 became one of the most anticipated events. This time, Nvidia showcased its RTX 50 series graphics cards, which consist of four variants.
The four variants are the RTX 5070, RTX 5070 Ti, RTX 5080, and RTX 5090. The RTX 5080 and RTX 5090 will be available on January 30, 2025, while the RTX 5070 and RTX 5070 Ti will follow in February 2025.
The RTX 5090 Founders Edition features 32GB GDDR7, 1,792GB/s memory bandwidth, and 21,760 CUDA cores. Unlike the previous generation, this graphics card can be installed in small form factor PCs.
Nvidia claims the RTX 5090’s performance is twice as fast as the RTX 4090 thanks to DLSS 4 and the Blackwell architecture. However, this GPU requires significant power consumption with a total power of 575W and a recommended 1,000W PSU.
Nvidia demonstrated the GPU’s capabilities by running Cyberpunk 2077, achieving a frame rate of 238fps compared to 106fps on the RTX 4090 with DLSS 3.5. Both GPUs ran the game with ray tracing enabled.
The RTX 5080 is designed to deliver twice the performance of the RTX 4080. This GPU comes with 16GB GDDR7, 960GB/s memory bandwidth, and 10,752 CUDA cores. The RTX 5080 has a total power of 360W, with Nvidia recommending an 850W PSU.
Nvidia also launched the RTX 5070 Ti and RTX 5070, which are claimed to offer double the performance of the previous generation. The RTX 5070 Ti features 16GB GDDR7, 896GB/s memory bandwidth, and 8,960 CUDA cores.
Meanwhile, the RTX 5070 comes with 12GB GDDR7, 672GB/s memory bandwidth, and 6,144 CUDA cores. The RTX 5070 Ti has a total power of 300W and requires a 750W PSU, while the RTX 5070 consumes 250W and requires a 650W PSU.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang claimed the RTX 5070 would deliver performance comparable to the RTX 4090 at a more affordable price. However, this performance is achieved through the enhanced DLSS 4 rather than pure rasterization performance.
DLSS 4 can generate up to three additional frames per traditional frame, boosting frame rates up to eight times compared to traditional rendering. These GPUs also feature RTX Neural Shaders for in-game texture compression and RTX Neural Faces for enhanced character facial visuals using generative AI.
“The new generation of DLSS can do more than create frames; it can predict the future. We’re using GeForce to support AI, and now AI is revolutionizing GeForce,” said Huang, as quoted by The Verge, Tuesday (January 7, 2025).
The RTX 5070 is priced at USD 549 (~IDR 8.8 million), while the RTX 5070 Ti costs USD 749 (~IDR 12 million). Meanwhile, the RTX 5080 is priced at USD 999 (~IDR 16.1 million), and the RTX 5090 reaches USD 1,999 (~IDR 32.2 million).
Laptops featuring the RTX 5090, RTX 5080, and RTX 5070 Ti will also be available starting March 2025, followed by laptops with the RTX 5070 a month later. Acer, Asus, Dell, HP, Lenovo, MSI, and Razer are preparing laptops with these new GPUs, with prices starting at USD 1,299 for laptops featuring the RTX 5070.
