As we draw closer to January, leaks and speculation around Nvidia’s next-generation RTX 50-series GPUs are echoing all over the internet. The latest scoop comes from renowned leaker Kopite7kimi providing insights into Nvidia’s midrange Blackwell graphics cards, the RTX 5070 Ti and GeForce RTX 5070.
As per the leaks, the RTX 5070 Ti is set to feature the GB203-300-A1 GPU, equipped with 8,960 CUDA cores, offering a substantial increase in processing power compared to its predecessor. The card is rumored to include 16GB of GDDR7 VRAM on a 256-bit memory interface, providing enhanced memory bandwidth for demanding applications such as 4K gaming and video editing.
Its total graphics power (TGP) is estimated at 300 watts, indicating high power requirements aligned with its performance capabilities. It is also speculated that the upcoming GPU will be capable of matching the performance of last-gen’s RTX 4080.

The RTX 5070 on the other hand will be a more cost-effective option and is expected to use the GB205-300-A1 GPU with 6,144 CUDA cores. While featuring fewer cores than the Ti model, it still represents a significant improvement over the RTX 4070 which features 5,888 CUDA cores.
The RTX 5070 is also rumored to include 12GB of GDDR7 VRAM on a 192-bit memory interface, which should be optimized for 1080p and 1440p gaming. Considering the TGP of approximately 250 watts, it should offer a more balanced approach between power consumption and performance.

The next generation of RTX 50-series GPUs will utilize Nvidia’s new Blackwell architecture, which is expected to focus on enhancing AI processing capabilities and real-time ray tracing. The architecture is also expected to improve features like DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) and AI-accelerated rendering, enabling better visuals and smoother performance in gaming and professional applications.
While the leaked specifications for the RTX 5070 Ti and RTX 5070 sound promising, it is important to note that these are just unconfirmed details and we’ll need to wait for the official announcement. There’s also the question of price, which is crucial to know how these GPUs will be positioned. In the current generation, the RTX 4070 Super is $599, while the RTX 4070 Ti Super is $799.
We expect the RTX 5070 Ti and RTX 5070 along with the more powerful GPUs in the lineup, to be officially announced during Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s keynote at CES 2025 on January 6.

Nvidia’s RTX 5070 Ti may trail behind the RTX 4080
As we inch closer to the launch of Nvidia's RTX 50-series, new leaks keep cropping up daily. Today, one of the most prolific leakers in the PC hardware space shared a glimpse of the specs for Nvidia's upcoming RTX 5070 Ti. Although it's not the full spec sheet, one specification in particular tells us that we may be dealing with a GPU similar to the RTX 4080, which is still one of Nvidia's best graphics cards. But is that good news?
All of this is unconfirmed. Kopite7kimi is one of the accounts that most of us turn to when we want some new scoop on upcoming PC hardware, but this time, the leaker didn't post on X (Twitter), and has instead shared some specs directly with VideoCardz. Let's dig in.

Nvidia may keep producing one RTX 40 GPU, and it’s not the one we want
The last few weeks brought us a slew of rumors about Nvidia potentially sunsetting most of the RTX 40-series graphics cards. However, a new update reveals that one GPU might remain in production long after other GPUs are no longer being produced. Unfortunately, it's a GPU that would struggle to rank among Nvidia's best graphics cards. I'm talking about the RTX 4050 -- a card that only appears in laptops.
The scoop comes from a leaker on Weibo and was first spotted by Wccftech. The leaker states that the RTX 4050 is "the only 40-series laptop GPU that Nvidia will continue to supply" after the highly anticipated launch of the RTX 50-series. Unsurprisingly, the tipster also reveals that the fact that both the RTX 4050 and the RTX 5050 will be readily available at the same time will also impact the pricing of the next-gen card.

This may be your last chance to buy an RTX 40-series GPU at MSRP
Just last week, we reported on the end of production for the RTX 40-series. Now, new information from Board Channels (shared by Gazlog) suggests that the final shipments of Nvidia's best graphics cards are right around the corner. Some GPUs, like the RTX 4090, have already seen their final shipments. With the holidays on the horizon, now might be the last time to buy the RTX 40-series at a decent price before stock levels begin dwindling.
Despite being two years old, Nvidia's RTX 40-series has held up in terms of GPU prices. Only the RTX 4090 went up from its original recommended list price (MSRP), with the rest of the lineup holding steady and mostly hovering around the launch price. Things might take a turn for the worse, though, if this report ends up being true.
