At the last CES in Las Vegas, NVIDIA, Intel and AMD presented their main innovations for 2025. In the case of NVIDIA, as expected, Jensen Huang, the boss of the company, officially presented the new range RTX50.

This new range confirmed the rumors which indicated that this new range would be composed of models RTX5090, RTX5080, RTX 5070Ti Yes RTX5070the latter being the most affordable of all with a price for the version Founders Edition of 654 dollars.

However, NVIDIA did not mention during the presentation whether it plans to launch new graphics models with lower performance, although it is logical that in addition to the previous models it would also launch the RTX5060 as entry graphics (for desktops) to the NVIDIA RTX 5000 series and would have 8 GB of GDDR7 memory. The RTX 5050 will only arrive in the laptop segment.

The latest information we have about this model indicates that it comes from the Moore's Law is Dead podcast where it is confirmed that in addition to the 8 GB version, NVIDIA will also launch a version of 12 GBalso with memory GDDR7.

This marks a significant change from the RTX 40 generation. RTX4060 It is available with an 8 GB VRAM configuration. The version RTX 4060Ti It has an 8 GB model and another 16 GB model of GDDR6 memory, no GDDR6X.

The RTX 5060 uses the GPU GB206the next generation of which is found in the RTX 4060 Ti (AD106) while the RTX 4060 uses the GPU AD107so it supports a larger amount of video memory.

According to the source Moore's Law is Dead, the launch of the RTX 5060 in the two video memory variants in which it will be available, the launch would be scheduled on NVIDIA's agenda for the month of March. At the moment we do not know how many 4,068 CUDA cores of the GB206 GPU will be present in this new model which would replace the RTX 5070 as entry-level.

Currently the most economical option to buy a graphics card, without counting on the previous generation, is found at Intel with the Intel Arc B570a graphics card equipped with 10 GB of GDDR6 memory and now available on the market for just under 300 dollars.

Another option is the Intel Arc B580the model immediately superior to the Intel Arc B570 which has 2 Xe cores and 2 GB of GDDR6 memory in addition and you can buy it for 329 dollars.

The performance of this new generation of Intel graphics is slightly higher than that of the RTX 4060, so it fits into entry-level graphics cards.

While waiting to know what the price is Radeon RX 9070XT Yes Radeon RX9070 from AMD, a price which according to various sources could be very similar to that of the RTX 5070, for the moment and once again, NVIDIA presents itself as the graphics manufacturer that offers the best performance, especially with the arrival of DLSS 4 .
