The anticipated Nvidia RTX 50-series is nearing its potential unveiling at CES 2025 in January. While official benchmarks remain elusive, a reputable leaker has offered insights into the potential performance of these next-gen GPUs, suggesting a substantial upgrade, possibly up to a 70% performance boost for Nvidia’s flagship graphics card.
Leaker OneRaichu on X (formerly Twitter), known for past accurate insights, recently responded to inquiries about the RTX 50-series. While caution is always advised with leaks, OneRaichu’s claims suggest a significant performance jump. Flagship models are predicted to be 60% to 70% faster than their predecessors, while “high-level” GPUs could see a 30% to 40% improvement. While specific model designations remain unclear, the RTX 5090 is likely the flagship, with the RTX 5080 potentially falling into the “high-level” category.
A tweet concerning RTX 50-series GPUs.OneRaichu’s predictions also extend to “mid-level” GPUs like the potential RTX 5070 and RTX 5060, suggesting gains of 20% to 30%. This leaves open the question of performance for other rumored cards like the RTX 5070 Ti and RTX 5060 Ti, as well as potential high-end variants like the RTX 5090 Ti or RTX Titan AI.
These performance estimates, while not precise, align with previous leaks. RedGamingTech, another known leaker, hinted at up to a 63% improvement for the rumored RTX Titan AI and a 48% boost from the RTX 4090 to the RTX 5090. While these are more conservative than OneRaichu’s predictions, the general consensus points towards a notable performance leap.
A recurring theme among leaks is a potential significant performance gap between the flagship RTX 5090 and the RTX 5080. Some suggest the RTX 5080 might perform similarly to the RTX 4090, which would still represent a considerable upgrade. However, the key question remains: how much slower will it be compared to the RTX 5090? With the anticipated CES 2025 announcement just weeks away, more concrete information and perhaps even official benchmarks should surface soon.
