This week at CES, Nvidia officially announced its new generation of graphics cards. The RTX 50 / RTX 5000 series, based on the Blackwell architecture, is launching later this month and plenty of board partners are showing off custom-cooled models. In this video, Leo checks in with Inno3D to see all of their upcoming graphics cards.

For custom-cooled models, Inno3D has the RTX 5090 X3 at the top of the pile, featuring a chunky triple-fan cooler. We are anticipating a £2000 price tag here, so you'll need deep pockets to grab Nvidia's latest top-range GPU.
The RTX 5070 Ti X3 is a heavy triple-slot card, but it does have a slimmer profile compared to the RTX 5090. For the standard RTX 5070, Inno3D has gone for a smaller dual-fan cooler, which will more comfortably fit in most cases. For the slimmest RTX 5090 possible, you'll want the Inno3D iChill RTX 5090, which comes with a water block attached for easy connection to custom liquid cooling loops.
As a reminder, here are the full specs for the RTX 50 series:
