Starting with the launch, it looks like Benchlife states that the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 & RTX 5080 are going to debut at CES 2025. This is a follow-up to our previous report and also aligns with what Kopite7kimi had stated earlier. But we also know that NVIDIA plans to launch a China-specific GPU variation of the RTX 5090 known as the RTX 5090D.

The current generation RTX 40 series was announced in September and launched in October with the RTX 4090 hitting retail shelves first followed by the RTX 4080 in November.
