Highly anticipated: As Nvidia teases the imminent launch of its next-generation graphics cards, codenamed Blackwell, the frequency of leaks continues to intensify. In a situation resembling Asrock's recent Intel Battlemage leak, a board partner has jumped the gun on listing the first Nvidia RTX 5000 GPUs.

Zotac briefly leaked listings for five graphics cards from Nvidia's upcoming GeForce RTX 5000 series. The mistake marks the first official confirmation that the lineup, codenamed Blackwell, continues the RTX branding. More information regarding video memory arrangements has also emerged.

VideoCardz captured screengrabs of Zotac's lsitings before the company removed them, and they still appear on Google searches for Zotac's version of the flagship RTX 5090. The 5090D (for Chinese markets), 5080, 5070 Ti, and 5070 also appear.

Furthermore, the VRAM configuration options on Zotac's store briefly alluded to the RTX 5000 series. The memory type section added a selection for GDDR7 VRAM, which is expected to debut with Blackwell. A new option for 32GB of memory also appeared, likely confirming rumors that the 5090 will become the first gaming card to feature that amount.

Meanwhile, other recent reports suggest that the rest of the RTX 5000 lineup will include VRAM pools identical to their corresponding RTX 4000 predecessors. If Wccftech's unnamed sources prove accurate, the RTX 5070 Ti and 5060 Ti will feature 16GB, echoing the 4070 Ti and some models of the 4060 Ti.

The amounts contrast with the RTX 5060 and 5070, which disappointingly include only 8GB and 12GB, respectively. Recent high-end games have become increasingly taxing for cards with under 12GB, especially in 4K and at high graphics settings.

Moreover, new and upcoming mid-range GPUs could present RTX 5000 with stiff competition. Intel's recently released Arc B580 includes 12GB of VRAM for only $250 and trades blows with Nvidia's 4060, and AMD promises to catch up in the ray tracing and AI upscaling departments with its mainstream-focused next-generation RDNA4 lineup.

However, Nvidia might have an advantage in memory speed across the board. The RTX 5060 and 5060 Ti reportedly include GDDR7 VRAM, contrasting with prior leaks indicating the desktop 5060 would stick to GDDR6 while its laptop counterpart upgrades to GDDR7.

Nvidia will deliver a CES keynote on January 6, where it is expected to unveil RTX 5000. AMD is also rumored to reveal RDNA4 at the trade show.
