(Image credit: Nvidia) Nvidiahas officially revealed its next-gen GPU, codename Blackwell, providing us with a glimpse at the tech that could power the RTX 5090. However, you might want to curb your enthusiasm if you were hoping to hear more about the future of GeForce graphics cards, as the GTC keynote almost entirely focuses on the company’s AI ambitions. The tech giant’s CEO even invites a few robots on stage, so the 2004 action romp I, Robot might become a thing before we get our hands on a new card. It’s no secret that Nvidia is now investing in more than just thebest graphics cardrace, and AI is now arguably its biggest business interest. That’s in contrast to the many gamers andgaming PCenthusiasts who have been buying GPUs like theGeForce RTX 4090over the years, as many will have been waiting to hear something about theRTX 5090. In fairness, this specific GPU technology conference doesn’t normally delve too far into the gaming side of things, but it’s still the first time Nvidia has delved into its next-gen architecture on an official basis. During theGTC March 2024 Keynote, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang showed off the company’s new Blackwell chip alongside AI-related specs. Featuring 10 petaFLOPS of AI performance, 192GB HBM3e (high bandwidth memory), and 8TB/s bandwidth speeds, it’s needless to say this chip isn’t destined for yourCorsairPC case. Instead, Jensen claims that “Generative AI is the defining technology of our time,” with Blackwell aiming to “power this new industrial revolution.” What does Blackwell mean for the RTX 5090? (Image credit: Nvidia) It’s worth reiterating that Nvidia hasn’t announced plans for a GeForce RTX 5090, but many signs point towards the next-gen GPU using a Blackwell chip. Specifically, the RTX 4090 successor will supposedly come armed with a GB102 GPU, which will naturally be scaled down compared to the AI-focussed GB200 revealed at GTC. So, we’re talking about two different classes of chips that share an architecture, and big businesses looking to jump on the artificial intelligence bandwagon shouldn’t feel a need to use next-gen graphics cards for projects when they arrive. The fact that there’s such a big emphasis on AI when it comes to Blackwell might be a sign that the RTX 5090 will heavily rely on an enhanced version of DLSS. Those of you with an RTX 40 Series card already have tricks like Frame Generation and Ray Reconstruction, but the next-gen chipset could help make PC performance woes a thing of the past and help move the scene towards 8K gaming. Recently,PS5 Proleaked documents also touched onSony’s interest in using AI upscaling techto achieve higher resolutions in games, and Nvidia has been on the front lines of that tech for years now. Sign up to the GamesRadar+ Newsletter Weekly digests, tales from the communities you love, and more At this point, we only have leaks and rumors to go on when it comes to the RTX 5090. Therefore, while Nvidia’s GTC keynote dodges the GeForce conversation, it’s still an official glimpse into what the tech powering the next wave of graphics cards might look like.
