Nvidia is truly masterful at one thing: perfectly showcasing the graphics cards at the launch of a new GPU generation. This isn’t bad in itself; after all, a fruit seller at the market also advertises his bright red apples as a real treat.

It's RTX 5070 vs 4090, and the new $549 gaming GPU beats the former flagship graphics card in Marvel Rivals, but with a big catch.

Intel officially announced its first two budget-mainstream Battlemage GPUs, the Arc B580 and Arc B570, but they're only the first salvo. The new architecture offers performance and efficiency improvements that should give Nvidia some much-needed competition, though drivers remain a potential sticking point.

After months of speculation and anticipation, Nvidia finally lifted the cover off its latest lineup of consumer graphics cards, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5000 series, starting with the flagship RTX 5090.

The model practically showed up later as the RTX 4070 Ti, which helped somewhat differentiate its specs to the 16GB 80-series release. Still, the RTX 4080 was anything but a popular card, as its original $1,199 price tag left players craving the cancelled 12GB SKU's $899 MSRP.

The lowest spec new RTX Blackwell GPU is capable of frame rates akin to the $1,599 RTX 4090 of the previous generation, though likely only through new DLSS 4 AI smarts.

The new NVIDIA RTX 5000 series of cards have just been unveiled, but how do the card's hardware and cost stack up with one another?

Here they are! Nvidia's RTX 50-series GPUs, based on its 'Blackwell' architecture, are coming soon, with giant performance boosts in tow for gaming and content creation with AI models.
