Nvidia's next-generation gaming video cards, members of the GeForce RTX 50 series, which take advantage of the potential of the Blackwell architecture, could be presented this year, already in relation to the first swallows, among which, according to Rumors indicate, the new flagship GeForce RTX 5090 and the high-end GeForce RTX 5080 could be present. It is not yet clear when exactly the new items will arrive, but this will also become clear.
However, thanks to Seasonic, it is already possible to guess what TDP frame the reference versions of new video cards will have, because the calculator is on the official website of the well-known power supply manufacturer, which recommends a suitable power supply after selecting the system components, published data that is still under NDA. Based on the current figures, it seems that there will be some growth in all categories, especially when it comes to the TDP frame, but at the same time, the performance is likely to increase significantly.
Expected TDP for GeForce RTX 50 Series Video Cards
| NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50 Series | TDP frame | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 Series | TDP frame |
| GeForce RTX 5090 |
500 watts |
GeForce RTX 4090 |
450 watts |
| GeForce RTX 5080 |
350 watts |
GeForce RTX 4080 |

170 watts |
GeForce RTX 4060 |
115 watts |
| GeForce RTX 5050 |
100 watts |
GeForce RTX 4050 |
No desktop model |
In the case of the GeForce RTX 5090, the TDP is 500W, which means we can expect a 50W increase compared to the GeForce RTX 4090. In comparison, the GeForce RTX 5080 will have a 350W TDP, which means there is a 30W increase in this space compared to the relevant member of the current generation, the GeForce RTX 4080. Next in line is the GeForce RTX 5070, replacing the GeForce RTX 4070, which has a 20W higher TDP, which means you should be prepared for a 220W increase. The biggest increase can be found in the case of the GeForce RTX 5060, where the TDP increases by 55 watts, so it will be at 170 watts, a significant difference compared to the usual 115 watts of the GeForce RTX 4060. Also arriving is the GeForce RTX 5050, which features a TDP frame of around 100 watts. This model currently does not have a desktop counterpart.
As for release dates, based on the rumors so far, we can expect the GeForce RTX 5090 and GeForce RTX 5080 to debut in October, while the GeForce RTX 5070 could debut in January, and the GeForce RTX 5060 in Q3 or Q4 of next year.
