Nvidia might reveal its most popular GPU in a matter of days
Although Nvidia has recently released a few GPUs that belong on every ranking of the best graphics cards, the launch has been rough all around, with limited stock and high pricing. Hope is on the horizon, though, as a well-known leaker just revealed that Nvidia might be about to unveil three new GPUs: The RTX 5060 Ti 16GB and 8GB as well as the RTX 5060 non-Ti. The scoop comes from MEGAsizeGPU on X (Twitter). According to the leaker, Nvidia will announce the RTX 5060 family of graphics cards in about 10 days. The cards will then land on the shelves around a month later. So far, all of this aligns with previous leaks, so I'm inclined to believe it — but, as always, don't take it at face value. These estimates might still change. Previous leaks indicate that the RTX 5060 will run on the GB206 GPU, but the RTX 5060 Ti is still a bit of an enigma. It could be bumped up to the GB205, but it might also share the same chip as the non-Ti version. However, one thing has been talked about at length: The VRAM capacity, which is why there are three cards included in the announcement and not three. Nvidia is said to, once again, be using 16GB and 8GB variants for the Ti GPU. This didn't work out as well as many had hoped in the RTX 40-series, but the extra bandwidth gained from the switch to GDDR7 might just be enough to make both versions relevant. We'll have to wait and see here. Meanwhile, the RTX 5060 is said to retain the same 8GB memory capacity as its predecessor. That's a shame, as new AAA games often require more than 8GB VRAM to run smoothly at high settings. Historically, the xx60 graphics card has been the most popular one for Nvidia in every generation, topping the Steam Hardware Charts month after month. If Nvidia can provide ample stock for this graphics card, AMD's upcoming RX 9060 XT might have a serious competitor; if not, gamers will remain frustrated just as they've been over the past couple of months.

RTX 5090 GPU shortage could soon end if Nvidia adopts this strategy
Nvidia may be close to resolving some of its delay issues and getting the RTX 5090 GPUs ready for consumers in at least a month, with a fortunate workaround. Online leakers noted on X that the shortage began due to scalpers over-purchasing components, but it could soon end if Nvidia adopts this strategy. Leaker @Zed__Wang suggested the component supplier may be able to tackle the challenge it has been having with its RTX 5090 shortage by utilizing Nvidia B200 data center GPUs in the production of its high-end graphics chips. The Nvidia B200 chips have notably dropped in demand and gone into oversupply. If the reports are accurate, Nvidia would be able to use the excess GB100 dies that are within the B200 GPU and incorporate them into the GB202 architecture for the RTX 5090. This could potentially end the shortage. The RTX 5090 isn't the only Nvidia GPU that has been facing delays. The RTX 5080, along with the abovementioned graphics card launched in January in extremely limited quantities. As said, overall demand plus scalper inflation led to low availability of the components. Currently, there is no word on whether the RTX 5080 will receive a supply update. The RTX 50 series, powering laptops and desktops is another notable GPU family that has been delayed until at least March. There have been several unsubstantiated reasons as to why the GPUs may have been delayed, including Nvidia's focus on AI GPUs and internal miscommunication within the company. Notebookcheck also noted some graphics cards may have been experiencing performance and functionality issues. Nvidia will make the GPU available for pre-order starting February 25, despite it not releasing until sometime later. The RTX 60 and RTX 70 GPUs are also facing delays until April. However, the RTX 5070 Ti will see a prompt launch on February 20.

Nvidia may release the RTX 5070 in March to counter AMD's RDNA 4 GPUs
Nvidia's upcoming RTX 5070 may now be launching in early March, according to industry analyst MEGAsizeGPU (@Zed__Wang on X). Initially expected to debut in February, the source suggests that the mid-range Blackwell GPU has been pushed back—potentially as a strategic move to counter AMD's upcoming Radeon RX 9070. Unveiled at CES 2025, the RTX 5070 is currently the most affordable GPU from the RTX 50-series lineup, at least till the RTX 5060 series goes official. It is powered by the GB205 GPU, featuring 48 Streaming Multiprocessors (SMs), 6,144 CUDA cores, and is equipped with 12GB of GDDR7 memory. The GPU utilizes a 192-bit memory interface, delivering a bandwidth of 672GB/s. Nvidia has set the MSRP at $549, which is $50 less than its predecessor, the RTX 4070. While that may sound lucrative, it is important to consider that board partners will charge a premium over the MSRP and we cannot rule out scalpers and inflated retailer prices out of the picture. Coincidentally, AMD is also expected to introduce its new Radeon 9000 series GPUs including the RX 9070 and the RX 9070 XT. The company is yet to disclose full details of its new RDNA 4 based GPU, but it is rumored to feature 16GB of GDDR6 memory, positioning it as suitable for 4K gaming. In contrast, the RTX 5070's 12GB may face challenges with VRAM-intensive titles at higher resolutions. Although Nvidia is actively developing Neural Texture Compression (NTC) technology to mitigate texture memory demands, widespread adoption remains on the horizon. As per a recent report by IT Home, the RX 9070 XT GPU could potentially arrive with a price tag of $599, which is $150 cheaper than the RTX 5070 Ti. Essentially, the RX 9070 non-XT will be cheaper and may go head-to-head with the RTX 5070. It will be interesting to see if either of the companies tweak their pricing to gain a better positioning in mid-range GPU market. It is important to note that Nvidia hasn't officially confirmed a launch date for the RTX 5070. Consumers are advised to stay informed through official channels for the latest updates on availability and performance evaluations. Sign in to access your portfolio
