As we approach CES 2025, the excitement among hardware enthusiasts is palpable, with many eagerly anticipating major announcements. One of the most anticipated reveals is NVIDIA’s next-generation GPUs, the GeForce RTX 50 series, codenamed “Blackwell.” However, the preview buzz has already begun, thanks to a surprise appearance at The Game Awards 2024 last Thursday (December 12).
During the event, NVIDIA made waves in a surprising way: The Witcher 4 trailer, which many assumed was a pre-rendered cinematic, was revealed to be an actual in-game segment. This impressive demonstration, running on Unreal Engine 5, was powered by a yet-to-be-announced GeForce RTX GPU.
Given the realism showcased and the significance of The Witcher franchise, it’s reasonable to speculate that CD Projekt Red utilized an RTX 5090 for this demonstration. While NVIDIA hasn’t officially confirmed that it will unveil the RTX 50 series at CES, AMD has already promised to showcase its RDNA 4 GPUs during the event. NVIDIA’s long-standing tradition of major announcements at CES, coupled with credible leaks and rumors, suggests that the Green Team is likely to reveal its new generation of GPUs during the show.
If this speculation holds, CES 2025 is set to deliver a thrilling start to the year for tech enthusiasts.
NVIDIA Schedule until CES 2025
Also, NVIDIA is ramping up the excitement for CES 2025 with a social media campaign celebrating its legacy in gaming GPUs. Fans can relive iconic moments in the company’s history while engaging in activities that offer rewards across NVIDIA’s social platforms.
As part of the build-up, Team Green is hosting GeForce LAN 50, a 50-hour online gaming marathon featuring contests, prizes, and more for participants. The event runs from January 4th to 6th, though, unfortunately, Brazil is not included among the hosting regions for this type of celebration.
CES 2025 itself runs from January 7th to 10th, but NVIDIA has scheduled a closed-door presentation on January 6th. Led by CEO Jensen Huang, the event is expected to showcase the company’s latest innovations, likely including the much-anticipated GeForce RTX 50 series. With this lineup of events, NVIDIA is setting the stage for what promises to be an electrifying start to the new year for tech and gaming enthusiasts alike.
