NVIDIA has officially unveiled the groundbreaking GeForce RTX™ 50 Series Desktop and Laptop GPUs, marking a significant leap in AI-driven graphics rendering for gamers, creators, and developers. Powered by the innovative NVIDIA Blackwell architecture, along with fifth-generation Tensor Cores and fourth-generation RT Cores, the GeForce RTX 50 Series promises to deliver stunning advancements in realism, lighting, and AI-driven rendering technologies, transforming the landscape of computer graphics.
Jensen Huang, Founder and CEO of NVIDIA, heralded this announcement, stating, “Blackwell, the engine of AI, has arrived for PC gamers, developers, and creatives. Combining AI-driven neural rendering with ray tracing, Blackwell represents the most monumental computer graphics innovation since we introduced programmable shading 25 years ago.”
The flagship GeForce RTX 5090 GPU, the fastest in its class, boasts 92 billion transistors, providing over 3,352 trillion AI operations per second (TOPS). This immense processing power, paired with Blackwell’s breakthroughs and DLSS 4 (Deep Learning Super Sampling), allows the RTX 5090 to outperform its predecessor, the RTX 4090, by up to two times.
Moreover, the GeForce RTX 50 Series extends NVIDIA’s cutting-edge graphics technology to laptops. Featuring NVIDIA’s Max-Q technology, these GPUs offer remarkable performance without compromising portability. The new generation of Max-Q extends battery life by up to 40%, enabling thin and light laptops to handle high-demand applications while maintaining sleek designs.
DLSS 4: Transforming Performance
DLSS 4 debuts a revolutionary feature known as Multi-Frame Generation, which uses AI to generate up to three additional frames per rendered frame. This technology boosts frame rates by as much as eight times compared to traditional rendering methods, all while preserving responsiveness thanks to NVIDIA Reflex technology. Additionally, DLSS 4 introduces transformer-based models for Ray Reconstruction and Super Resolution, doubling the parameters and quadrupling the compute capacity to enhance stability, reduce ghosting, and provide sharper game scenes.
The new Reflex 2 further reduces latency by up to 75%, offering gamers a competitive advantage in multiplayer games and improving responsiveness in single-player experiences. Reflex 2 achieves this by updating rendered frames based on the latest mouse inputs just before display output, ensuring seamless gameplay.
