Seasonic, a prominent PSU manufacturer, has reportedly revealed several upcoming GPUs from AMD’s Radeon RX 7000 series and Nvidia’s RTX 5000 series on its website. Seasonic listed the unreleased GPUs on its Wattage Calculator webpage, mentioning at least four new AMD and five new Nvidia models, although they seem to be removed at the time of writing this article.

As per a report, Seasonic’s website referenced high-end models of AMD’s forthcoming Radeon RX 7000 series, including the RX 7990 XTX, RX 7950 XTX, and RX 7950 XT. This is the first time these specific models have been spotted anywhere online, adding to the anticipation surrounding AMD’s next-gen GPUs. However, it’s worth noting that this isn’t the first time AMD has introduced a high-end refresh. Previously, it launched the “XX50” models as part of the RDNA 2 refresh, which included the 6950 XT, 6750 XT, and 6650 XT.

If these listings are true, it means that AMD is potentially gearing up to compete aggressively in the high-performance GPU market, offering significant improvements in performance and efficiency. Expect the AMD Radeon RX 7000 RDNA 3 GPU refresh to come with higher clock speeds, power ratings, and faster memory.

Similarly, the website had listed Nvidia’s upcoming RTX 5000 series, indicating that these GPUs will feature substantial power demands. The leaked information includes various models, from the top-tier RTX 5090, all the way to the RTX 5050, with their respective Thermal Design Powers (TDPs) specified.

If the data is accurate, the most significant increase in TDP is expected with the 5060 GPU, which might address the performance and price gap issues seen between the RTX 4070 and 4060. Additionally, the RTX 5060 is anticipated to return to a 12GB VRAM standard. The increase in TDP also means that these new GPUs will likely require robust power supplies.

Nvidia GeForce TDP 
RTX 5090 500W
RTX 5080 350W
RTX 5070 220W
RTX 5060 170W
RTX 5050 100W

The early appearance of these unreleased GPUs on Seasonic’s website suggests that both AMD and Nvidia are on the brink of launching their next-gen graphics cards. From what we have heard, Nvidia is expected to start rolling out its Blackwell architecture consumer graphics cards in October, beginning with the high-end RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 models.

The enthusiast RTX 5070 is anticipated to follow in January 2025, with the mainstream RTX 5060 expected to launch in Q3 or Q4 of the same year. On the other hand, Team Red could launch its RDNA 3 refresh in January during CES 2025.

Bad news for AMD? Nvidia might fast-track the RTX 50-series
Two RTX 4060 cards side by side

Things are finally about to start heating up for some of the best graphics cards. Although we're still in the dark about final release dates, both AMD and Nvidia are said to be launching new GPUs in the first quarter of 2025. However, a new leak tells us that Nvidia might try out a different approach with the RTX 50-series, and that's bound to put some pressure on AMD at the worst possible time.

What's new? We've already heard that Nvidia is likely to announce the RTX 5090 and the RTX 5080 at CES 2025, with its CEO Jensen Huang scheduled to hold a keynote during the event. However, the release dates for the rest of the lineup remained a mystery. Now, a previously reliable source sheds some light on the matter with potential details about the planned launch dates for the RTX 5070, RTX 5070 Ti, RTX 5060, and RTX 5060 Ti.

25 years ago, Nvidia changed PCs forever

Twenty-five years ago, Nvidia released the GeForce 256 and changed the face of PCs forever. It wasn't the first graphics card produced by Nvidia -- it was actually the sixth -- but it was the first that really put gaming at the center of Nvidia's lineup with GeForce branding, and it's the device that Nvidia coined the term "GPU" with.

Nvidia is celebrating the anniversary of the release, and rightfully so. We've come an unbelievable way from the GeForce 256 up to the RTX 4090, but Nvidia's first GPU wasn't met with much enthusiasm. The original release, which lines up with today's date, was for the GeForce 256 SDR, or single data rate. Later in 1999, Nvidia followed up with the GeForce 256 DDR, or dual data rate.

If you're wondering about the future of Nvidia's and AMD's top graphics cards, you're not alone. We all know it's almost time for the next generation of GPUs to be released, but no one knows when exactly that's going to happen. Today, another source weighed in with conflicting information regarding the release dates of the RTX 50 series and the RX 8000 series, and honestly, it's all starting to give me whiplash at this point.

At the beginning of 2024, most enthusiasts and leakers alike believed that all three GPU makers -- AMD, Intel, and Nvidia -- would launch their next-gen products before the end of the year. In fact, early leaks pointed to an end-of-summer release for AMD. As time went on, we've all tempered our expectations as it became clear that we're unlikely to see any new graphics cards before early 2025.
