Next-gen AMD and Nvidia GPUs just moved one step closer to launch

The upcoming next-gen Nvidia and AMD graphics cards have just been registered at the Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC), bringing them one step closer to launch.

Although this doesn’t mean that all of the listed GPUs will launch this year (or at all), it does give us some insight into the exact models that AMD and Nvidia may be readying for their new lineups. There’s also a hidden surprise that shows Nvidia may not be quite done with the RTX 30-series GPUs just yet.

The EEC is a trademark registry and because of that, it often serves as a source of product leaks. There’s no guarantee that all of the listed products will make it to the market, but the registry works as an indication that the manufacturer is likely to be working on these products. We’ve seen several EEC leaks in the past, and usually, the majority of the products end up being released. Even so, until AMD and Nvidia confirm these, it’s best to maintain a dose of skepticism.

The registration comes from AFOX, a partner for both AMD and Nvidia, which will seemingly plan to produce custom versions of the cards. The company makes other kinds of PC hardware aside from graphics cards, including motherboards, power supply units, and storage. This time, AFOX seems to be getting ready to work on a long list of AMD and Nvidia graphics cards.

First spotted by Twitter leaker Harukaze5719, the EEC listings include the full range of Nvidia’s next-gen RTX 40-series “Ada Lovelace” graphics cards. This means the following GPUs:

  • Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 Ti
  • Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090
  • Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 Ti
  • Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080
  • Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 Ti
  • Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070
  • Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 Ti
  • Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060
  • Nvidia GeForce RTX 4050 Ti
  • Nvidia GeForce RTX 4050

While most of the lineup was expected, the RTX 4090 Ti has been the subject of some speculation. This intensely powerful GPU might instead be a continuation of Nvidia’s RTX Titan series as opposed to an RTX Ti.

Curiously, AFOX has also chosen to list several RTX 30-series graphics cards under the name RTX Super: The GeForce RTX 3090 Super, RTX 3080 Super, RTX 3070 Super, and the RTX 3060 Super. However, given that Nvidia is currently suffering from a major oversupply of graphics cards that it still needs to unload before the next-gen launches, it seems unlikely that it will go back to create even more RTX 30-series GPUs. In fact, some sources speculate that Nvidia may opt to only release a single RTX 40 GPU this year in order to try and sell more of the current-gen cards. AFOX may just be optimistic here, or simply trying to cover all bases.

The company hasn’t snubbed AMD — on the contrary, it registered just about every AMD GPU variant possible. This includes the following:

  • AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT
  • AMD Radeon RX 7900
  • AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT
  • AMD Radeon RX 7800
  • AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT
  • AMD Radeon RX 7700
  • AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT
  • AMD Radeon RX 7600
  • AMD Radeon RX 7500 XT
  • AMD Radeon RX 7500

While we don’t know for a fact that all of these graphics cards will end up getting released, the EEC listings are a good indicator that production is well underway and AMD’s and Nvidia’s board partners are getting ready. With both AMD and Nvidia set to launch new products this year, we’re bound to hear more soon enough.

Nvidia’s next-gen GPUs may be delayed due to ‘design flaws’
Nvidia introducing its Blackwell GPU architecture at GTC 2024.

Dark clouds are looming over the future of Nvidia's best graphics cards. According to a new report, Nvidia told some of its partners that it will be delaying its upcoming Blackwell GPUs, and is now aiming for an early 2025 release instead. Delays are one thing, but the cause is perhaps the most worrying part of it all -- design flaws. What does this mean for Nvidia's RTX 50-series?

This worrying report originates from The Information, which cites two sources who helped produce the Blackwell chip, as well as its server hardware. Bloomberg recounts that the chips may be delayed by over three months at this point. Nvidia is preparing B100 and B200 chips for some of the world's most prominent tech companies, including Meta, Google, and Microsoft, so these delays could hit pretty hard.

Details on the upcoming AMD and Nvidia GPUs just got leaked
The RX 7900 XTX.

Seasonic, a prominent PSU manufacturer, has reportedly revealed several upcoming GPUs from AMD's Radeon RX 7000 series and Nvidia's RTX 5000 series on its website. Seasonic listed the unreleased GPUs on its Wattage Calculator webpage, mentioning at least four new AMD and five new Nvidia models, although they seem to be removed at the time of writing this article.

As per a report, Seasonic’s website referenced high-end models of AMD's forthcoming Radeon RX 7000 series, including the RX 7990 XTX, RX 7950 XTX, and RX 7950 XT. This is the first time these specific models have been spotted anywhere online, adding to the anticipation surrounding AMD's next-gen GPUs. However, it's worth noting that this isn't the first time AMD has introduced a high-end refresh. Previously, it launched the "XX50" models as part of the RDNA 2 refresh, which included the 6950 XT, 6750 XT, and 6650 XT.

DLSS 4 could be amazing, and Nvidia needs it to be
Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 GPU.

I won't lie: Nvidia did a good job with Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) 3, and there's almost no way that this success didn't contribute to sales. DLSS 3, with its ability to turn a midrange GPU into something much more capable, is pretty groundbreaking, and that's a strong selling point if there ever was one.

What comes next, though? The RTX 40-series is almost at an end, and soon, there'll be new GPUs for Nvidia to try and sell -- potentially without the added incentive of gen-exclusive upscaling tech. DLSS 3 will be a tough act to follow, and if the rumors about its upcoming graphics cards turn out to be true, Nvidia may really need DLSS 4 to be a smash hit.
