Blackwell has arrived. At CES on Monday night, Nvidia unveiled its long-awaited next generation of GeForce RTX graphics cards based on its latest Blackwell microarchitecture, and the race will soon begin by AI outfits training large language models and PC gamers alike to gobble up these new cards as soon as they are released.

NVIDIA unveiled the RTX 5000 Blackwell GPUs at its CES 2025 keynote, with four models set to launch sometime later in Q1. The RTX 5070 and 5070 Ti are aimed at the mid-range, with NVIDIA touting heady gains on both cards — the brand says the 5070 will deliver equivalent performance to the RTX 4090 thanks to the gains made with DLSS 4's multi-frame generation tech.

NVIDIA has officially announced its next series of graphics cards at CES 2025. The GeForce RTX 50 Series is powered by Blackwell and will include DLSS 4. The Blackwell architecture will offer fifth-generation Tensor Cores and fourth-generation RT cores along with breakthroughs in AI-driven rendering that includes neural shaders,
