Zotac has once again jumped the gun by prematurely listing RTX 50 series graphics cards on its official website. For a brief period, the company’s page displayed the flagship RTX 5090 alongside four other Blackwell models, which also appeared in Google search results under the AIB’s domain.
GeForce RTX 5090, 5090D, 5080, 5070 Ti, and 5070 Spotted Ahead of the Launch
According to VideoCardz, the pages are already being taken down, but not before screenshots were captured. In the images, the RTX 5090 can be seen along with a 5090D variant. It is likely tailored for the Chinese market and the RTX 5080, 5070 Ti, and 5070. This suggests that these five models will be the initial lineup of the Blackwell series for desktop PCs.
While details remain scarce, this unintentional leak hints at the anticipated structure of NVIDIA’s next-generation GPUs. As usual, the RTX 5090 will be the performance leader and likely set the tone for the rest of the Blackwell family.
The following screenshot reveals Google search results showing listings of the new GPUs on Zotac’s website. The summaries for each link provide some additional details, albeit in a somewhat indirect manner. However, one key specification is already visible: a 32GB capacity.
RTX 5090 Will Mark a New Performance Peak for Gamers
This early mention likely refers to the VRAM configuration of the RTX 5090, hinting at a significant leap in memory capacity compared to previous generations. If accurate, this aligns with expectations for the Blackwell series to deliver higher performance and support for increasingly demanding workloads, such as 8K gaming and AI-based tasks.
Returning to Zotac’s website, the VideoCardz author discovered a 32GB GDDR7 option within the search filters. This option had not been available previously, and since no RTX 40 series GPU features that amount of memory, it strongly suggests that this was added for the upcoming RTX 5090.
This effectively confirms the memory capacity of NVIDIA’s most advanced model in the Blackwell lineup, expected to launch in January. The inclusion of 32GB GDDR7 represents a substantial upgrade, signaling a focus on pushing performance boundaries, particularly for workloads like 8K gaming, AI processing, and heavy content creation.
The Google search results shown in the screenshots combine various product details into single summaries. However, it does mention the 3.5 to 4-slot size for the new GPUs. This suggests that the RTX 5090 will likely be at least as large as its predecessor, the RTX 4090. This is speculation, as NVIDIA can easily surprise us and make it bulkier.
Given its expected high performance and increased power requirements, a larger cooler design seems necessary to manage thermals effectively. Meanwhile, Zotac’s listings did not mention an RTX 5060. Perhaps, NVIDIA will prioritize higher-end models in the initial Blackwell series launch.
No RTX 5060 Series at the Moment
Another notable detail is the complete absence of any mention of entry-level models like the RTX 5060 or even the RTX 5060 Ti in Zotac’s listings. This further suggests that NVIDIA is likely focusing on the high-end segment for the initial Blackwell series launch, delaying more affordable GPUs for a later date.
This strategy aligns with NVIDIA’s past practices, where flagship models like the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 debut first to showcase peak performance and technological advancements, while mid-range and entry-level options follow in subsequent months.
