Want to get your hands on an Nvidia RTX 5000 GPU? You might be waiting longer than you thought.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

Nvidia might not launch its RTX 5000 graphics cards until the start of next year, at CES 2025.

This is at odds with many of the rumors thus far, which point to a late 2024 launch for the next-gen Blackwell GPUs, though there have been whispers of a delay to 2025 (in other words, that Nvidia is pushing back the release schedule, in theory).

The latest word comes from well-known leaker Kopite7kimi on X who dropped a short post to suggest a CES 2025 reveal is now looking likely. I think we won't see RTX 50 until CES. July 22, 2024

Another leaker, RedGamingTech (a YouTuber) also chimed in on the thread on X to say that this is what hes been hearing too and as we mentioned, there
have been other whispers saying the late 2024 arrival may not happen after
all for Blackwell. (Image credit: Future) Analysis: Is a 2024 launch now looking less likely?

Clearly, we shouldnt read too much into a short tweet (are they still called tweets? well, were still calling them that anyway). Especially as Kopite7kimis concise post isnt couched in definitive terms (he thinks this is the case).

Certainly, its not unfathomable for Nvidia to wait, by any means, as theres
no real rush to get the RTX 5090 and 5080 out (which are rumored to be the first two next-gen GPUs to arrive). After all, theres no heat whatsoever from the competition right now RDNA 4 is supposedly not arriving until early 2025 either. Besides, AMD will only have rival graphics cards in the mid-range anyway they wont be near the RTX 5080.

Also, Nvidia may want to prioritize Blackwell chips for AI usage, too, rather than sticking them in its top gaming graphics cards , so for the latter to be pushed back seems a not unreasonable prospect.

On the other hand, some rumors are still saying late 2024, and a recent leak from a laptop manufacturer indicated RTX 5000 mobile GPUs might arrive at CES 2025 so desktop graphics cards would need to come out first in that case. (Even if they were only pushed out as a so-called paper launch with little stock available ).

However, weve got to admit, later in 2024 is looking a little shakier now, as time rolls on. Also, this does raise the interesting prospect of a double-reveal of Nvidia Blackwell and AMD RDNA 4 at CES 2025 , even if they wont be directly competing GPUs. Nvidias mid-to-lower-tier offerings for RTX 5000 are certainly not expected until 2025, and likely later in the year, not that early on which is why theres no rush for AMD, either.

Selling through enough existing current-gen stock is also going to be a concern for both GPU makers, to boot, and how that progresses as 2024 ticks by.
