The RTX 50 series GPUs from NVIDIA have been listed at the ECC by AFOX, but let’s hold off on the hoopla just yet. The fact that AFOX is a Taiwanese firm and not an official board partner of NVIDIA should serve as a reminder that you should proceed with caution if you hear this rumour.
AFOX is kind of like a OEM business that repackages NVIDIA GPUs and sells them without following the rules. The ECC listing is still intriguing, though, as it might disclose NVIDIA’s stance on “Blackwell” GPUs.
Several NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50 series models have been filed for, including the RTX 5090 Ti, RTX 5090, RTX 5080 Ti, RTX 5080, RTX 5070 Ti, RTX 5070, RTX 5060 Ti, RTX 5060, RTX 5050 Ti, and the RTX 5050. As you can see, this is little more than AFOX’s early assumption.
NVIDIA is still far from finalising its next-generation RTX 50 lineup, and knowing how the green team works, we won’t know anything for sure until or unless we are extremely close to the launch, and given that the RTX 40 series is still hot off the press, we are unlikely to see the next-gen anytime soon.
This isn’t the first time AFOX has issued a “shady” ECC listing as we know in 2020, AFOX advertised the Radeon RX 5950 as a Russian business, but the GPU never reached it to market.
Several reports of Blackwell GPUs have surfaced in the past, but for now, you should expect a release around 2025, as NVIDIA is also planning a “Ada Lovelace” upgrade. AFOX’s ranking is simply a conjecture, and it all hinges on how Team Green decides to handle the Blackwell GPUs, which are expected to boost computational capability to new heights.
