NVIDIA has unveiled its latest GeForce RTX 50-series graphics cards, introducing significant advancements in performance and AI-driven features. The next-generation Nvidia Blackwell GPU architecture and RTX 50-series GPUs are coming, basically on schedule. Nvidia officially detailed the first four cards in the Blackwell RTX 50-series family at CES 2025, during CEO Jensen Huang's keynote on January 6. We expect the various Blackwell GPUs will join the ranks of the best graphics cards, replacing their soon-to-be-prior-generation counterparts.
