The new RTX 50-series will leverage Nvidia’s Blackwell architecture, which is designed to enhance capabilities in AI processing and real-time ray tracing. This architecture is expected to improve technologies such as DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) and AI-accelerated rendering, leading to superior visuals and smoother gameplay across gaming and professional settings.
While the details leaked about the RTX 5070 Ti and RTX 5070 appear promising, it’s vital to recognize that these are unconfirmed specifications. We’ll have to be patient for the official announcements regarding performance and pricing, which will be crucial for understanding their market placement. Currently, the RTX 4070 Super retails for $599, while the RTX 4070 Ti Super is priced at $799.
We anticipate that both the RTX 5070 Ti and RTX 5070, alongside their more robust counterparts, will be officially unveiled during Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s keynote speech at CES 2025 on January 6.
