Nvidia has officially stated that the much-anticipated RTX 50-series GPUs, based on the Blackwell architecture, will be unveiled at CES 2025. Let's face it, there's not much left to guess about. It's nearly guaranteed that the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 will be among the first models to hit the market as Nvidia's next-generation offerings. To add to the excitement, we already see listings for these GPUs popping up online.
Acer Predator Orion 7000 Upgrades
Recently, the Acer Predator Orion 7000 gaming PC towers have been announced to receive upgrades featuring Intel's Arrow Lake-S CPUs. A new listing that was found confirmed a top-tier configuration of this pre-built system that includes the high-end RTX 5090 GPU. As expected, this GPU will come with an impressive 32 GB of GDDR7 memory. The system is also equipped with a Core Ultra 7 265KF CPU, although it's likely that even more powerful CPU options will be available soon. At this moment, though, all the focus is on the RTX 5090 GPU. The price for this system is a staggering €4,699, which translates to about $5,000 – a huge increase compared to previous models. Here comes the sticker shock!
RTX 5080 Specifications
Additionally, our pals at Videocardz have found another model in the Predator Orion 7000 lineup, this one featuring the more budget-friendly RTX 5080 GPU. As expected, this GPU has a more reasonable 16 GB of GDDR7 memory. On the topic of specs, recent leaks suggest that the RTX 5090 will have an astounding 21,760 CUDA cores and 32 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 512-bit bus, with a total board power (TBP) of 600 watts. In contrast, the RTX 5080 is set to include 10,752 CUDA cores, 16 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 256-bit bus, and a TBP of under 400 watts. With less than a month to go before CES 2025, it won’t be long until we see how the RTX 50-series launch goes. As more leaks and listings continue to emerge, it's clear that the RTX 50-series is poised to take center stage – and perhaps take a toll on our bank accounts.
