Unlimited reports have actually indicated CES 2025 in January as the huge expose for Nvidia’s fiercely expected GeForce RTX 50-series graphics cards, powered by the business’s brand-new “Blackwell” architecture. With a media blitz timed to accompany this year’s (remarkably excellent!) Video Game Awards, Nvidia successfully made it unofficially authorities.
The part I’m personally most hyped about: CDProjekt’s surprise Witcher 4 cinematic expose. I’ve dropped the trailer listed below (manage your biz, Ciri!), however the vital part for this post is the note right at the start: “Cinematic trailer pre-rendered in Unreal Engine 5 on an unannounced Nvidia GeForce RTX GPU.” Giggity!
That’s not all. Nvidia likewise released a huge marketing project on social media networks at the very same time. It primarily promotes Nvidia’s GeForce LAN 50, referred to as “a worldwide online & & in-person 50 Hour Gaming Marathon” with great deals of rewards offered in an e-mail to press. (You can sign up to participate in here). Hmmmm, that’s a great deal of 50s!
The GeForce Twitter account not just highlighted GeForce LAN 50, however likewise right away followed up with an invite to view Nvidia’s CES keynote on January 6. Mighty coincidental, that.
The Nvidia landing page for the celebrations mean a RTX 50-series expose at CES too, stating the following:
“Twenty-five years back, we released the very first GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce 256. Before we want to the future, let’s take a classic journey to commemorate the all-time greats of PC video gaming.”
That’s a dreadful great deal of smoke. Nvidia is plainly stiring the buzz train fires for a huge RTX 50-series expose at the yearly electronic devices exhibition. Will we see an RTX 5090? RTX 5080? Something to take on Intel’s incredible brand-new $249 Arc B580 graphics card? (Probably not on that last one). I’ll be at Nvidia’s RTX 2025 keynote, prepared to bring you the news as it takes place. In the meantime, we’ve got a rundown on the most reputable RTX 50-series leakages and reports if you wish to begin capturing up on things.
