NVIDIA unleashes the new RTX 5090, RTX 5080, RTX 5070
Next gen is here
Building a PC just got a lot more exciting this year. Finally, after months of rumors and speculation, NVIDIA has launched the new RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 during CES 2025.
If you were holding off on a major upgrade on your PC, four new options are coming your way. The new RTX 50 series will have four models: RTX 5090, RTX 5080, RTX 5070 Ti, and RTX 5070.
In terms of performance, NVIDIA says that the RTX 5080 will have double the performance of the RTX 4080, which came out in 2022. It will have 16GB of GDDR7 VRAM and a memory bandwidth of 960GB/s. The top-tier RTX 5090 Founders Edition is a two-slot GPU that rocks 32GB of GDDR7 memory, a memory bandwidth of 1,792GB/s, and 21,760 CUDA cores.
Further, the new series introduces the new DLSS 4, the brand’s image optimization technology. During the presentation, NVIDIA demonstrated the technology using Cyberpunk 2077. The current-gen RTX 4090 (which only has DLSS 3.5) topped at only 112fps. Meanwhile, running the same settings with ray-tracing on, the new RTX 5090 peaked at 244fps.
The series will also have a few more AI-based features including RTX Neural Shaders and RTX Neural Faces. Both features use AI to generate textures and facial animations better than the previous models. According to NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang, the new series can now “predict the future,” generating frames before you even need them.
Naturally, the new series will cost quite a lot of money. The RTX 5070 costs US$ 549, while the RTX 5070 Ti costs US$ 749. Meanwhile, the RTX 5080 costs US$ 999. Finally, the RTX 5090 costs US$ 1,999.

AMD expands Ryzen PRO 9000 series processor lineup
AMD brings 3D V-Cache technology to commercial segment
AMD has announced an expansion of its enterprise desktop lineup with new Ryzen PRO 9000 Series processors. These are built on the Zen 5 architecture and set to debut in the second half of 2026.
This is the first time AMD is bringing its high-bandwidth 3D V-Cache technology into the commercial workstation segment.
This way, the company unlocks massive performance leaps for data-heavy professional industries.
The introduction of 3D V-Cache directly targets power users handling complex, intensive digital pipelines.
By vertically stacking additional last-level cache directly onto the processor die, the hardware drastically cuts down memory latency and accelerates data access.
Primary beneficiaries of this architecture are creative and technical professionals, including:
- video editors and animators
- 3D artists and VFX creators
- engineers and architects
- developers and data scientists
The expanded hardware lineup spans configurations from six to 16 performance cores. Power limits break past traditional limits, or up to a sustained 170 watts to maintain peak clock speeds during overnight renders.
The range also makes the lineup scalable from compact desktop systems to full-scale tower workstation systems.
The AMD Ryzen PRO 9000 series also supports up to 256GB of memory to prevent system crashes. Enterprise system rollouts are expected to begin later this year.

AMD to bring FSR Upscaling 4.1 to RDNA 3 GPUs this July
Better visuals for players on PC, consoles soon
AMD has announced through Senior Vice President and General Manager Jack Huynh that FSR 4.1 upscaling technology is coming to RDNA 3 GPUs this July.
Huynh confirmed that Radeon RX 7000 series graphics cards, among other older graphics architectures, will receive the update in July. Older RDNA 2 cards will also benefit in early 2027.
The decision directly benefits budget-conscious PC gamers and handheld console users who have opted out of expensive hardware upgrades. Instead of having to purchase new GPUs, they will simply have to download the software driver.
FSR (FidelityFX Super Resolution) 4.1 marks a major shift for AMD. It introduces a machine learning-powered algorithm that replaces traditional analytical upscaling.
By updating their software drivers, users can access cleaner image reconstruction, reduced motion ghosting, and better performance with FSR Upscaling 4.1 across more than 300 supported gaming titles on their RDNA 3 graphics.
Beyond desktop players, the rollout carries significant implications for the wider gaming ecosystem.
Devices like the ROG Ally X and Lenovo Legion Go run on RDNA 3 integrated graphics. This means handheld gamers will see immediate frame rate and visual fidelity improvements this summer.
Furthermore, current-generation consoles like the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, as well as Valve’s Steam Deck, rely on RDNA 2 architecture. This means AMD’s early 2027 roadmap lays the groundwork for massive visual optimization across the entire console market.
