Rumors have suggested that Nvidia will be taking the wraps off of some next-generation RTX 50-series graphics cards at CES in January. And as we get closer to that date, Nvidia's partners and some of the PC makers have begun to inadvertently leak details of the cards.

Going back to Zotac’s leak, using RTX 5090 as an example, there is 32GB of GDDR7 memory on board — a third more than the previous king of the mountain in the RTX 4090. This is the part that gets me a little nervous, as that nullifies the 20% decrease in power demands with more storage.

One example could be Real-Time Neural Radiance Caching for Path Tracing. It's all pretty complicated, but the short version is that it uses AI to enable faster, lower-noise path tracing by handing over the radiance caching to a neural network.

Nvidia’s new RTX 50 series graphics cards are looking like more of a lock for CES 2025 than ever, with Zotac and Acer now having leaked as many as five new GPUs — ones which may also have a new AI trick up their sleeves that we’ve never seen before.

It's no secret that Nvidia's 5000 series of GPUs is on its way, and there are no surprises for guessing the model numbers, either, but now we know for sure what's coming in the new year. This is thanks to an apparently-premature update,
