CES 2025 will be marked by one word: artificial intelligence. Companies from various segments are investing in this market, but video card companies have been keeping an eye on it for a while now. In this post, we show you which notebooks with NVIDIA RTX 50 GPU will hit the market during each month of 2025. Check out the full list.
What's New in NVIDIA's 50 Series GPUs
Blackwell Architecture
The architecture Blackwell, successor of Ada Lovelace, is the basis for the series video cards 50 from NVIDIA. Developed with cutting-edge technologies, with the manufacturing process TSMC 3sqm, it delivers significant advances in performance and energy efficiency, with greater transistor density and better thermal management.
Improvements include more advanced CUDA cores optimized for parallel computations and superior graphics performance. In addition, the architecture offers improved support for technologies such as next-generation ray tracing and greater integration of artificial intelligence, benefiting graphics and computational applications.
With a focus on energy efficiency, Blackwell also delivers higher power per watt, ideal for gamers, content creators and professionals. During NVIDIA's keynote at CES 2025, Jensen Huang, the company's president, stated that the most advanced model in the laptop line can reach the performance of the RTX 4090, the most advanced of the last generation, with half the energy consumption.
O Advanced Power Gating turns off inactive parts of the GPU to save power, while the Low Latency Sleep allows the GPU to enter sleep mode frequently, reducing consumption even in use.
DLSS-4
DLSS 4 (Deep Learning Super Sampling 4) is the next generation of Nvidia's AI-assisted rendering technology, introduced with the GeForce RTX 50 GPUs. Its main advancement is Multi-Frame Generation, which allows you to create up to three additional frames for each traditionally rendered frame, significantly increasing performance.
This functionality is exclusive to RTX 50-series GPUs, but other AI model improvements like Super Resolution and Ray Reconstruction are available for all RTX GPUs.
Using an advanced vision transformer architecture, DLSS 4 improves visual quality with greater temporal stability, reduced ghosting, and sharper images during motion. NVIDIA claims the technology can increase frame rates by up to 8x compared to traditional methods, enabling 4K gameplay at 240fps with full ray tracing.
Launching with support for 75 games and apps, including popular titles like Alan Wake 2 and Cyberpunk 2077, DLSS 4 also offers options to replace previous versions of games that haven’t been updated yet. This technology represents a significant leap forward in graphics quality and performance, making it a milestone in the gaming experience for compatible GPUs.
The great benefit of technology DLSS is that the notebook does not need to make an effort to process the images, which allows for lower energy consumption.
Neural rendering
Considered an evolution of DLSS, neural rendering will be used to also avoid the graphics card having to work too hard and, naturally, power consumption will be lower. NVIDIA mentioned in its press release that it has integrated neural networks within programmable shaders to create neural shaders.
RTX Neural Shaders will power the next decade of graphics innovation. They can be used to compress textures by up to 7X, saving massive amounts of graphics memory. They can also be used to create cinematic-quality textures and even more advanced lighting effects in games.
Faces and landscapes will be enhanced to provide higher resolution for users, using only a simpler rasterized face as a base, automatically and without any human intervention. The new architecture's artificial intelligence was essential to make this happen.
GDRR7 memory
With data transfer speeds of up to 36 Gbps per pin, GDDR7 provides much higher bandwidth, essential for 4K gaming, 3D rendering, and intensive applications such as artificial intelligence and machine learning.
One of the most important innovations is the adoption of signage PAM3 (Pulse-Amplitude Modulation 3 levels), which allows for greater efficiency in data transmission compared to previous technologies. This contributes to lower power consumption per bit transferred and helps reduce heat generation, even when operating at high frequencies. In addition, GDDR7 is designed to offer greater density, enabling a larger amount of memory in compact devices.
NVIDIA's RTX 50 series memory is manufactured by Samsung and Micron. The Korean company introduced GDRR7 memory in late 2024 and was expected to, in fact, be helping NVIDIA in the development of its new line of graphics cards.
Energy Efficiency
Due to the new architecture and also its new memory, the new video cards, both the desktop and notebook versions, will consume less energy to deliver higher performance. And another new feature is also coming to change the field of energy efficiency: the connector fields.
RTX 50 models use the 16-pin connector 12V2×6, a revision of the 12VHPWR connector, designed to improve safety and efficiency in power delivery. This update aims to minimize heat issues and connection failures, contributing to a more stable and efficient operation of GPUs.
Availability for notebooks
The forecast is that the first products with NVIDIA RTX 50 GPU for notebooks will hit the market from March 2025. The desktop versions are already available for purchase, but it will be necessary to wait additional time for notebook manufacturers to put models with the new video cards GeForce RTX 5090, 5080, 5070 Ti, and 5070.
But the main companies have already confirmed the launch through different models, let's get to know each one of them below.
