The upcoming RTX 50 series GPUs from Nvidia are a hot topic in the hardware industry right now. The latest leak reveals 5 variants, along with the new architecture that would be used for the next generation GPUs. These GPUs will cater to different types of users across the range, such as enthusiasts or entry-level price points, and will be successors to the existing Ada Lovelace architecture used in the RTX 40 series GPUs. That said, here are all the details you need to know about the upcoming RTX 5000 series graphics cards.

GPUs are about to change.

A forum post on Chiphell.com by a leaker initially discussed what the next generation of GPUs would entail. Well-known hardware site Videocardz then contacted reputed Nvidia leaker kopite7kimi, who confirmed that the forum post's leak is true. They also provided the publication with a SKU list of upcoming Nvidia RTX 50 Series GPUs, detailed below.

The RTX 4090 is based on the AD102 GPU, which uses the Ada Lovelace architecture. Similarly, the leaked variants above are arranged from the entry-level to the ultra-enthusiast segment accordingly. One of the main takeaways from this leak is a missing GB204 part, which suggests that Nvidia is planning a change to the naming pattern.

Previously, kopite7kimi also leaked the memory interface of Ada-Next (successor to the RTX 40 series, also rumored to be called Blackwell) citing that he has confirmed with multiple sources that it will have a 512-bit memory interface.
