We just got our first hint of the RTX 6090, but it’s not what you think

As we’re all counting down the days to a possible announcement of Nvidia’s RTX 50-series, GPU brands are already looking ahead to what comes next. A new trademark filing with the Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC) reveals just how far ahead some manufacturers are thinking, because it mentions not just the Nvidia RTX 5090, but also an RTX 5090 Ti; there’s even an RTX 6090 Ti. Still, it’ll be a long while before we can count the RTX 60-series among the best graphics cards, so what is this all about?

The trademark registration filing, first spotted by harukaze5719 on X (formerly Twitter) and shared by VideoCardz, comes from a company called Sinotex International Industrial Ltd. This company is responsible for the GPU brand Ninja, which doesn’t have much of a market presence in the U.S.

Still, the company might have big plans going forward. The filing spans the entire RTX 50-series lineup, including cards that no one’s heard of, and cards that most likely won’t ever see the light of day. We’ve got it all, starting with the RTX 5050 (including Ti and Super versions) and going all the way to the RTX 5090 Ti (or RTX 5090 Super). We’re talking every card you could think of is being trademarked in its basic, Ti, and Super versions. The interesting part is that there are no Ti Super cards, so perhaps the current-gen RTX 4070 Ti Super will put an end to that naming scheme.

Ninja also filed for the entire RTX 60-series lineup, starting with the RTX 6050 and including cards like the RTX 6070 and the RTX 6090. Again, all the GPUs also come in Super and Ti flavors. That lineup is most likely going to be built based on Rubin architecture, but we don’t really know anything else beyond that. We’re unlikely to see any of these GPUs before 2027 or, at best, late 2026.

Of course, this doesn’t mean that Ninja is planning to launch all of these GPUs. These filings don’t mean much beyond trademark registration, so it’s hard to read too much into it — apart from the timing. We’ve been getting more and more signs of an imminent launch for the RTX 50-series, and this is another crumb to add to the pile.

We know that Nvidia’s CEO Jensen Huang is set to hold a keynote during CES 2025 in January, but hardware leaker kopite7kimi also said that Blackwell is coming soon. The RTX 5090 and the RTX 5080 will likely be the first to launch, although the RTX 5070 is not out of the realm of possibility. As for the RTX 5090 Ti that Ninja has already trademarked, if that’s ever going to be a thing, I wouldn’t expect to see it for at least a few months to a year.

Driver issues with Nvidia GPUs? No, it’s not just you
Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 GPU.

While Nvidia's focus has shifted to some of its best graphics cards from the RTX 50-series, its older GPUs seem to be running into some driver issues. Many users are turning to Reddit to report problems such as crashes, black screens, blue screens of death (BSODs), and issues launching certain games. These problems only seem to affect the latest drivers.

Scotty1992 on Reddit made a massive thread compiling various recent complaints related to Nvidia's Game Ready driver, which mostly seems to include various versions of the 572.xx driver. The RTX 40-series appears to be the one most affected, with people reporting problems on cards such as the RTX 4090 or the RTX 4080.

RTX 5090 prices drop from outrageous to just ridiculous

​Recent data indicates that prices for Nvidia's RTX 5090 graphics card are gradually stabilizing, though they remain significantly above the manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP). A Reddit user compiled eBay sales data, revealing that average selling prices have decreased from around $6,000 at launch to approximately $4,000 in recent weeks.

The RTX 5090, part of Nvidia's latest Blackwell series, has faced severe supply shortages since its release, leading to inflated prices on secondary markets. Initial listings on platforms like eBay saw prices reaching up to $10,000, far exceeding the MSRP. This scarcity has been reminiscent of previous GPU shortages, where high demand and limited supply led to significant price hikes.​

The RTX 50-series is the worst GPU launch in recent memory

Nvidia has had some less-than-stellar graphics card launches over the years. Its RTX 2000-series was poorly received, with little interest in the flagship features of the time, and the RTX 40-series hardly blew us away. But the RTX 50-series has been something else entirely. It's the worst GPU launch I can remember in a long time.

If you've been following along, the latest is that the RTX 5060 and 5060 Ti are delayed again. But that's just one more straw on the camel's funeral pyre for this catastrophic GPU generation.
In the beginning, there was overhype
It all started off strong for the RTX 50 series. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang took to the stage at CES 2025 and made some truly grandiose claims which had everyone excited. The RTX 5090 was going to double performance of the RTX 4090. The RTX 5070 was going to offer 4090-level performance at $549. Multi frame generation was going to give Nvidia such a lead, that AMD's cards would look ridiculous in comparison.
