CES organizers have just announced the official presence of NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang at a CES opening conference on January 6, 2025. This is obviously another factor in favor of launching the next RTX 50s at the very beginning of next year. Bear in mind that Jensen Huang hasn’t attended CES since 2019, when the GeForce RTX 2060 was presented to the public. In recent years, we’ve been treated to NVIDIA senior vice-president Jeff Fisher. A likeable character, but one who didn’t set CES alight. The boss’s presence could therefore mean a major announcement with the whole Blackwell family, including the RTX 50 consumer versions.

It has been known for some weeks that Nvidia is stopping shipments of the top-of-the-range RTX 40 GPUs. A way of helping its partners prepare for upcoming launches by clearing out their inventories. This is enough time to avoid a repeat of the RTX 40 launch. Massive RTX 30 inventories and the arrival of the new cards had severely strained relations between brands and Nvidia.
