The GeForce RTX 50 Series, a new generation of graphics cards for gamers and creators based on NVIDIA’s “Blackwell” architecture, is set to deliver what green team has described as “game-changing” performance via all-new hardware that includes substantially smaller PCBs, and all of that was made possible thanks to NVIDIA’s world-class engineers, according to a new video in which Justin Walker, Sr. Director of Products at NVIDIA, shares new details about the hardware design of his company’s latest flagship: the $1,999 GeForce RTX 5090.
“The challenge with making a smaller design is doing it without making it louder,” Walker says at one point of the 12-minute-long interview before going on to share some of the challenges that NVIDIA’s design team had to overcome to make that a reality, pointing out that the work is particularly impressive when one considers that the speed of “basically everything” has been sped up versus the previous Ada generation.
The details from Walker come a few days after NVIDIA officially unveiled its GeForce RTX 50 Series graphics cards and laptops, calling Blackwell the “most powerful consumer GPU ever created” and how the Founders Edition would introduce a “revolutionary” double-flow-through design, one that ultimately enabled an SFF-Ready flagship GeForce graphics card.
