It’s Not Just The Price That’s Different

TechPowerUp attended NVIDIA’s Editor’s Day at CES, and have collected what they’ve learned into this article, delving into the technology under that shroud.   There are the obvious things like PCIe 5.0, the core count increasing impressively, and the 512-bit memory interface.  There are also improvements to existing features, DLSS 4 is showing significant gains in both performance and beauty over DLSS 3.0. 

Something that is not quite so obvious at first glance is the completely revamped cooling hiding under that shroud and the fact that the PCB is significantly smaller than previous generations; especially impressive considering the extra hardware NVIDIA added to the RTX  50 series.  These changes should both ensure cooling as efficient as the previous generation, with lower noise levels produced.

Blackwell, aka RTX 50, is also designed with AI on the mind and sports a new AI Management Processor to schedule AI tasks in amongst rendering and other GPU related activities.  Perhaps the RTX 5090 is perfect for an incredibly expensive CoPilot+ machine?  The new AMP is accompanied by fifth generation Tensor Cores and fourth generation RT Cores, the Shader Multiprocessors have been given a makeover to handle neural net like processing more effectively, and there is the GDDR7 to consider as well.  If you haven’t already, click through the link for all the details.

The lineup, powered by the company's new Blackwell architecture, promises transformative advancements across gaming, content creation, and AI-driven tasks. With innovations like fourth-generation RT cores, advanced neural shaders, and new GDDR7 memory, NVIDIA is aiming to redefine the user experience for both gamers and professionals alike.
