NVIDIA and its new unrivalled generation of Blackwell chip , is the successor to the Ada Lovelace architecture and with its specs is unrivalled in gaming graphics cards. The GeForce RTX 5000 series graphics cards bring several advantages, namely improved and accelerated Ray Tracing technology, higher FPS compared to its predecessors, and newer, more powerful (smarter) DLSS thanks to advanced AI models.
What is Nvidia Blackwell?
NVIDIA Blackwell is the codename for NVIDIA’s latest generation architecture, which once again delivers increased performance in computing, especially in HPC – high-performance computing – solutions, as well as in AI, which is becoming a part of everyday life and the everyday user.
NVIDIA Blackwell graphics card categories
Nvidia has introduced several new models of graphics cards, both professional and, as it is usually the case, gaming GPUs.
Professional (Enterprise) GPUs
Designed for AI models, scientific computing and HPC, AI training, data centers, NVLink and Confidential Computing:
- NVIDIA DGX B200 – tailored for a variety of workloads which includes LLM, Recommender Systems and Ai chatbots.
- NVIDIA GB200 NVL72 – includes the key GB200 Grace Blackwell Superchip component that connects two high-performance NVIDIA Blackwell graphics cards and an NVIDIA Grace CPU via NVLink. (NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs are part of the superchip, not 2 separate graphics as they once were in SLI.)
Consumer (gaming) GPUs :
Designed for gamers and graphics intensive processes (DLSS4, next generation ray tracing) – their designation is GeForce RTX 50xx.
Nvidia GeForce RTX 5000 models
GeForce RTX 5090
GeForce RTX 5090 – the flagship and most powerful graphics card in the GeForce series, it features fifth-generation Tensor Core, 32GB of super-fast GDDR 7 memory, and is also the most powerful GeForce series platform for Ray Tracing and Neural Rendering.

GeForce RTX 5080
The GeForce RTX 5080 includes 16GB of GDDR7 memory support for DLSS 4 and also comes with improved ray tracing. Compared to the flagship GeForce 5090, it has lower performance but at a more affordable price. Despite its lower price, it offers up to 4K gaming and won’t let you down even with more complicated graphics tasks.

GeForce RTX 5060 Ti
The GeForce RTX 5060 Ti is an upgrade of the base model and is available with 8GB of GDDR6 memory but also a 16GB GDDR7 variant. Compared to the base model, the biggest advantage is just the memory and support for more powerful Ray Tracing and DLSS. It is mainly adapted for gaming in 1440p resolution and can also handle more complicated graphics tasks.

New Nvidia Blackwell technologies
New AI superchip class
NVIDIA Blackwell architecture graphics cards contain 208 billion transistors and are manufactured using the “TSMC 4NP” process, which was built directly for these chips by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company(TSMC).
NVIDIA Tensor Cores
NVIDIA Tensor cores provide mixed-precision and dynamic adaptive computing to accelerate data throughput while maintaining accuracy and providing enhanced security. The latest generation of these cores delivers extraordinary acceleration in generative AI, revolutionary AI training, and in high-performance computing(HPC) tasks.
NVIDIA NVLink
Too much power and trouble transferring huge amounts of data? No problem for Nvidia blackwell.
The NVIDIA Blackwell generationarchitecture comes with enormous performance which means that even interconnecting individual graphics cards requires extremely accurate and powerful interconnects, this is where NVIDIA NVLink fifth generation comes in, which can interconnect up to 576 graphics cards in total, which is especially useful in data centres and professional AI environments where AI models can contain up to several billion parameters.
DLSS 4
NVIDIA DLSS is a revolutionary set of neural rendering technologies that, in its latest version, leverages AI models to increase FPS, reduce latency, and improve image quality. The latest version introduces a new Multi Frame Generation feature and improved Ray Reconstruction and Super Resolution technologies. These innovations are powered by the GeForce RTX 50 series along with the fifth generation Tensor Cores. DLSS combined with GeForce RTX delivers a superior gaming experience – thanks to AI models trained on NVIDIA supercomputers.
Ray Tracing
The GeForce RTX 5000 series is the most advanced platform to fully leverage Ray Tracing and Neural Rendering technologies, which together are revolutionizing both gaming and graphics design. More than 700 games and applications use RTX technologies to render realistic graphics with incredible performance. AI-enabled features such as DLSS and Multi Frame Generation are also available. NVIDIA’s Blackwell architecture unlocks new ray tracing potential that the competition doesn’t yet have an answer for.
But how is the average person supposed to imagine what ray tracing actually is? Ray tracing is an advanced image rendering technique that simulates the physical behavior of light to achieve more realistic visual effects. It follows the trajectory of light rays – how they reflect, refract and absorb as they interact with different objects.
Confidential Computing – security of all data
NVIDIA Confidential Computing is designed to be the most secure, fastest, and even feedback-based solution on the market for every workload across different AI models, so customers don’t have to choose between performance or protection and security.
Leveraging the NVIDIA Blackwell architecture
The NVIDIA Blackwell architectureis already being used today by leading technology companies such as Amazon, OpenAI, and the like, specifically for generative AI, neural rendering, Large Language Models (LLM) training, and various scientific computations and simulations. The fact that competitor AMD still doesn’t outperform specific graphics cards in the category adds to the qualities of NVIDIA’s Blackwell architecture, proving that it is the absolute leader in its industry and also in the gaming category with the GeForce RTX 5000 series.
