Nvidia Hints at RTX 50-Series Excitement

Nvidia is gearing up for an exciting announcement. The company has officially hinted at the forthcoming RTX 50-series with an elaborate fan event leading up to the big reveal scheduled for January. Under the theme of #GeForceGreats, Nvidia is celebrating its legendary graphics cards while eagerly looking ahead. Here’s how you can get involved in the excitement.

After a prolonged period of silence, Nvidia’s GeForce social media channels have started buzzing with updates regarding their participation at CES 2025. Fans are invited to tune into the keynote presentation on January 6, 2025. While we knew the keynote was on the calendar, this marks the first concrete indication that there will be substantial news concerning next-generation gaming GPUs, in addition to Nvidia’s data center focus.

This announcement comes in tandem with Nvidia celebrating a remarkable milestone: it has been 25 years since the launch of its inaugural GPU, the GeForce 256. To honor this legacy, Nvidia encourages gamers and fans to engage on social media using the “GeForceGreats” hashtag, with opportunities to win exciting prizes for active participation.

By liking, commenting, and sharing posts with the designated hashtag, participants can contribute to Nvidia’s GeForce Hype Meter, which will be visible live on Nvidia’s Twitch channel. Although Nvidia hasn’t revealed the specifics of the prizes, it’s clear that as the hype meter fills, the incentive will grow, so keep an eye out for more details.

Nvidia is also reviving a memorable event from 2011: the GeForce LAN party. This exciting online and in-person gaming marathon will stretch over 50 hours, culminating just before CEO Jensen Huang’s keynote at CES 2025. The choice of a 50-hour duration is certainly intentional.

The original LAN party took place aboard a retired USS Hornet aircraft carrier. This time, much of the action will occur online, kicking off at 4:30 PM PT on January 4. Nvidia has hinted at “epic online GeForce LAN Missions,” offering in-game rewards alongside other opportunities to engage with the GeForceGreats hype. Live events will also be hosted in various global cities, including Las Vegas, Beijing, Taipei, and Berlin. While registration for these events isn’t open yet, fans can look forward to signing up through Nvidia’s LAN 50 website.

What’s next on the horizon? Fans can elevate Nvidia’s Hype Meter by actively engaging with their social media profiles, including GeForce, GFN, Studio, and AI_PC, utilizing the GeForceGreats hashtag. Additionally, keep your eyes peeled for potential leaks as anticipation mounts for the RTX 50-series. According to a recent leak, the RTX 5090 could potentially see performance increases of up to 70% compared to the RTX 4090.
