NVIDIA’s RTX 50 Series Graphics Cards Might Be Delayed Until 2025

Nvidia‘s next-generation graphics cards, the RTX 50 series, may not hit the market until 2025. This news comes from a reliable source, Kopite7Kimi, known for accurate leaks. Originally, the RTX 50 series was expected to launch in late 2024. However, recent claims suggest a delay, with an official announcement potentially set for CES 2025.
Reasons for Delay
Various factors could contribute to this delay. One source mentioned concerns over GDDR7 supply, while others dismissed this. The GPU market has also seen shifts, with the crypto boom ending and Nvidia managing to stabilize its supply chain post-2020 shortages. Despite this, Nvidia has not lowered prices for its GPUs, which could be another factor in the delay.
The RTX 40 series brought significant advancements like Frame Generation, but didn’t revolutionize raw performance. It is also reported the RTX 50 series may not offer the performance leap seen in previous generations. However, Nvidia has invested heavily in this new line, reportedly spending $10 billion on its development.
Gamers eagerly awaiting the next-gen GPUs might need to wait longer. However, with no rush from the competition and existing stock to sell, Nvidia might take its time to ensure a successful launch.
