ZOTAC came to the fore by mistakenly listing the models of NVIDIA’s new generation GeForce RTX 50 series on its website before the official announcement. The company, which attracted attention with leaks about NVIDIA’s RTX 40 series two years ago, made a more concrete mistake this time and announced the new models early. While this situation fueled competition in the GPU market, the reasons behind ZOTAC’s mistake became a matter of curiosity.
ZOTAC made a statement against the rumors last month and denied the test production allegations, making the process even more complicated. However, this listing shows that the company’s preparations for the next generation GPUs may have already been completed. Apparently, there is great competition between companies before the introduction of NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 50 series.
There are five new models expected
Information published briefly on ZOTAC’s website revealed that there will be five new models within the RTX 50 series. GeForce RTX 5090, RTX 5090D (exclusive to the Chinese market), RTX 5080, RTX 5070 Ti and RTX 5070 models are clearly mentioned in the list. However, the lack of lower segment models such as the RTX 5060 is notable. This suggests that the announcement of entry-level models may have been postponed until later.
In addition, it was noted that the new models will be equipped with GDDR7 memory technology and have a capacity of 32GB. These features show that the RTX 50 series will offer a significant performance increase compared to previous generations. In addition, it is estimated that the high memory capacity will be a great advantage, especially for content producers and professional users.
This error by ZOTAC also gave some clues about NVIDIA’s official promotion calendar. The details in the listing information indicate that the new models will be announced next month. This timing seems to be in line with NVIDIA’s strategy of traditionally introducing new products at major events like CES. It can also be considered that ZOTAC’s leak is not a coincidence if the RTX 50 series is introduced at this event.
Although the listing error was quickly corrected, this information quickly spread throughout the GPU community and caused a great deal of excitement. However, it is not yet known what measures ZOTAC will take after this early statement and what impact it will have on its cooperation with NVIDIA.
Is the RTX 50 Series the beginning of a new era?
The technological innovations of the GeForce RTX 50 series have the potential to revolutionize graphics performance. GDDR7 memory and high capacity options mean higher frame rates and better visual quality in games. In addition, this series is expected to take important steps in energy efficiency. Thus, it is aimed to create a new standard for both players and professional users.
Ultimately, this early announcement from ZOTAC opened an important window into NVIDIA’s future plans. Now all eyes are on other details that will be announced during the official announcement of the RTX 50 series. With the launch of these new models, there is no doubt that competition in the GPU world will become even more intense.
