The first thing that’s notable about the RTX 5090 is the packaging design has totally changed since the Founders Edition RTX 40-series. Nvidia has switched to housing the RTX 5090 inside a smaller bone-shaped gray cardboard shell that sits inside a much larger brown cardboard box.

The new NVIDIA Geforce RTX 5090 FE GPU features the same shape as its RTX 4090 FE predecessor but measures just half its width.

The GeForce RTX 5090 Founders Edition being two-slots thick is an incredible engineering feat. It's also one of the most stunning GPUs we've ever seen.

Nvidia says the RTX 5090 is “2X Faster Than The GeForce RTX 4090;” the RTX 5080 is “Twice As Fast As The GeForce RTX 4080;” the RTX 5070 is “2X Faster Than The GeForce RTX 4070 Ti;” and the RTX 5070 is as fast as the RTX 4090.

The new GeForce RTX 5090 is the top of the line and the star of the show (so much so that it actually leaked just hours before it was officially unveiled), but Nvidia is actually launching four new 50-series GPUs at CES 2025, with the desktop models starting to ship this month and laptop versions arriving in March.

After months of waiting, Nvidia has finally announced its new line of graphics cards, led by the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 at CES 2025. And while there are only a couple graphics cards at the Las Vegas tech show, the rest of the lineup should filter out over the next few months.

The new Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 looks very expensive and very good, but the RTX 5070 Ti is what really catches my eye.

A rumor suggests the Nvidia RTX 50 series of graphics cards could be in extremely limited supply at launch as the release dates near.
