Update: Nvidia’s keynote is ongoing, but the RTX 50-series graphics cards have already been announced, starting with the RTX 5090.

Looking to buy a new high-end graphics card in 2025? It might be worth watching Nvidia’s CES 2025 keynote, as it may have all the details for the RTX 50-series, which could well be your next-gen upgrade. Even if you aren’t planning to buy any time soon, though, it may still be worth checking out, as Nvidia is expected to blow the doors off GPU performance with its next-gen designs, and show off more besides.

How to watch Nvidia’s CES 2025 keynote today

NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang Keynote at CES 2025

Like AMD’s keynote, Nvidia’s CES presentation with CEO Jensen Huang takes place later today, the day before the official start of CES 2025. It’s slated to start at 6:30 p.m. PT/9:30 p.m. ET on Monday, January 6. It’s building up hype for it now on the official Nvidia Twitch stream, with giveaways and a planned 50-hour online LAN party to celebrate the debut of its new 50-series GPUs.

The best place to watch the Nvidia CES keynote is on the official Nvidia YouTube channel, or the embedded stream above.

The Twitch stream should also be live during the event, but we typically find YouTube is more reliable.

What we expect from Nvidia’s CES 2025 keynote

The big news of Nvidia’s CES 2025 keynote is likely to not be much of a surprise at all. We all know that Nvidia will be debuting its 50-series Blackwell graphics cards, because Nvidia itself has told us, but we’ve also had a plethora of leaks and rumors about these cards for months now. They’re coming, and we’re going to get our first look at them at CES.

Which cards we’ll see remains a mystery, though Nvidia typically starts off a new generation with the highest-end cards, so alongside the hotly-anticipated RTX 5080, we are likely to see the allegedly-ridiculous RTX 5090 as well.

Nvidia is also likely to show off its latest AI developments, from further details on its Jetson Orin Nano Super miniature AI compute unit to its vehicular ambitions, robotics, and more gaming-facing tech, like DLSS 4, or more of Nvidia AI NPC technology.

Nvidia celebrates Trump, slams Biden for putting AI in jeopardy
The Nvidia RTX 5090 GPU.

In response to new export restrictions placed on AI GPUs, Nvidia posted a scathing blog criticizing the outgoing Biden-Harris administration. The administration's Interim Final Rule on Artificial Intelligence Diffusion largely targets China with restrictions on AI GPUs, according to Newsweek.

Nvidia disagrees. "While cloaked in the guise of an 'anti-China' measure, these rules would do nothing to enhance U.S. security. The new rules would control technology worldwide, including technology that is already widely available in mainstream gaming PCs and consumer hardware. Rather than mitigate any threat, the new Biden rules would only weaken America’s global competitiveness, undermining the innovation that has kept the U.S. ahead," wrote Nvidia's vice president of government of affairs Ned Finkle.

Nvidia won CES 2025, and the RTX 5090 has nothing to do with it
Nvidia CEO Jensen in front of a background.

Great, here's the entitled journalist telling me that the $2,000 graphics card won CES 2025. I've seen plenty of strong opinions about Nvidia's CES announcements online, but even ignoring the bloated price of the new RTX 5090, Nvidia won this year's show. And it kind of won by default. Between Intel's barebones announcements and an overstuffed AMD presentation that ignored what might be AMD's most important GPU launch ever, it's not surprising that Team Green came out ahead.

But that's despite the insane price of the RTX 5090, not because of it.

Nvidia may enter the Arm CPU market after all
Nividia Project Digits on a desktop

According to a recent Reuters report, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has hinted at broader ambitions for the Arm-based CPU within the GB10 Grace Blackwell chip, developed in collaboration with MediaTek. During an investor presentation, Huang alluded to plans for the new desktop CPU by saying, “You know, obviously we have plans.” However, he also added that he would “wait to tell [us]” the details. Cryptic as it may be, this message -- combined with Nvidia's recent developments -- could mean Nvidia might have serious plans for the CPU market.

Huang also noted that MediaTek, the chip's co-developer, has its own aspirations. “They could provide [the CPU] to us, or they could keep it for themselves and serve the market. It was a great win-win,” Huang said, suggesting MediaTek might market the chip independently.
