The announcement also indicated that there will be a range of upcoming technologies and products (from various different segments) that will be detailed due to the stacked speaker lineup:

  • Ian Buck, vice president of accelerated computing
  • Brian Kelleher, senior vice president for hardware engineering

Notably, out of the aforementioned six Nvidia executives who have been invited as the speakers for the CEO Keynote, Fisher stands out the most.

As VideoCardz aptly highlights, Fisher made an appearance at Nvidia’s CES 2022 conference in order to introduce one of the most powerful graphics cards currently available, the GeForce RTX 3090 Ti.

So, is Nvidia finally set to unveil its next-gen RTX 40 GPUs that we’ve heard so much about as of late? We’re not sure, but Fisher’s presence may mean that Team Green could be preparing to detail its upcoming products in the GPU space.

The GeForce executive suggested as much with an official quote. “Nvidia and our partners will be announcing new developments and products on both the enterprise and consumer fronts at the show,” he stated.

That said, don’t be surprised if the next generation of GPUs fails to be mentioned at all. Judging by the number of speakers who are from Nvidia’s AI department, the blooming artificial intelligence field will clearly be the main highlight of the presentation. A tease for Ada boards could be in the cards, though.

AMD and Intel join the fray

Nvidia’s longtime rival, AMD, is incidentally scheduled to deliver its keynote on May 23 as well. Team Red CEO Lisa Su could lift the veil on its highly anticipated Ryzen 7000 CPUs, according to VideoCardz. As for whether RDNA 3 is part of the presentation, we’ll simply have to wait and see.

Since the opening stages of 2022, we’ve learned quite a bit about Nvidia’s RTX 40-series graphics cards. For example, the flagship RTX 4090 is expected to offer double the power of its predecessor, the RTX 3090. A September launch period has been cited by industry insiders.

Naturally, though, with such a massive jump in performance, we’ve also heard that these cards will be some of the most power-hungry boards ever released, with some reports suggesting it could reach the 600 watts mark. Some rumors even point toward a test board that sports a total graphics power (TGP) of 900 watts.

The keynote, which will be presented in a digital format, is scheduled for Monday, May 23 at 8 p.m. PT (UTC -7). Nvidia said the presentation will be one hour long.

Elsewhere, Intel could be joining both Nvidia and AMD at Computex with its own presentation to showcase the Arc Alchemist desktop series of GPUs.

Still, even if Team Blue introduces that range at the event, you’ll have to wait a few more months before it hits store shelves due to yet another delay.

Nvidia’s RTX 5080 might be outrageously expensive

We're mere days away from Nvidia officially announcing the RTX 50-series. Many leakers have already shared information about the specs of Nvidia's upcoming best graphics cards, but the pricing has remained a mystery -- until now. Vex, a YouTuber, just shared a claim about the pricing of Nvidia's RTX 5080, and it looks like we might have a repeat of the previous generation on our hands, and then some.

Before we dive in, here's the obligatory disclaimer: We have no way of verifying the credibility of this leak. Vex was reportedly contacted by someone who works for an Australian retailer, and that person provided a screenshot listing many Asus RTX 5080 graphics cards, along with some basic specs and pricing. It could be true, and it could be fake -- we just don't know right now. One thing is certain, though: If this is real, it's not good news for gamers.

The hype is real: Nvidia finally teases the RTX 50-series

It's finally happening. Nvidia has just teased the upcoming RTX 50-series in a major way, with a full-on fan event leading up to the official announcement in January. Under the banner of #GeForceGreats, Nvidia is celebrating some of its best graphics cards, but it's already looking to the future. Here's what's happening and how to get involved.

After a long stretch of silence, the Nvidia GeForce social media accounts posted updates about GeForce at CES 2025, inviting fans to watch the keynote on January 6, 2025. We already knew about the keynote, but this is the first official confirmation that it won't be all about Nvidia's data center business -- we're definitely getting updates on next-gen gaming GPUs, too.

Nvidia may have found a new way to bypass GPU export restrictions

Chinese gamers are expected to have limited access to Nvidia's best graphics card due to strict export restrictions. However, Nvidia may have found a way around it without cutting down its flagship GPU. A new leak suggests that the RTX 5090D will have the same hardware specifications as the worldwide version, and the solution lies in firmware adjustments.

As a quick refresher, the "D" in RTX 5090D stands for "Dragon." It marks GPUs made by Nvidia to bypass the export restrictions imposed by the U.S. on China, which limit the sale of high-performance graphics processors. We first saw it appear in the RTX 4090D as a remedy for the fact that the base RTX 4090 exceeds the performance thresholds set by these regulations.
