Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang calls RTX 50 series “its most successful launch ever” for GeForce

Nvidia kicked off Computex 2025 with its opening keynote, and there has been a lot to take in from the event so far, from colorful PC cases to a new MSI Claw handheld. However, sticking with Team Green, let’s hone in a little more on what CEO Jensen Huang had to say on stage. Predictably, there was plenty of AI talk in the spotlight, as well as some interesting robotics development that Nvidia was keen to show off.
Speaking of, we’re keen to learn more about how Nvidia treats GeForce these days, especially when its booming AI business has overshadowed its roots. Well, you’ll be glad to know that Huang continues to praise the improvements the company is making to its latest GeForce graphics cards. Its most recently launched GPU is the RTX 5060, which went on sale yesterday (May 19).

GeForce got a relatively brief mention in the over an hour and a half presentation, with Huang holding up a new ASUS RTX 5060 graphics card and an MSI 5060 laptop against a beautiful real-time rendered background on stage. He goes on to explain that “every single pixel is ray traced” and that only 1 in 10 of the pixels are being rendered natively, the rest made up with AI prediction (or “AI-guessed” as Huang phrases it), and it’s spot-on, “clearly perfect,” says the CEO.
“GeForce brought us here, and now, all of our keynotes is 90% not GeForce. But it’s not because we don’t love GeForce. GeForce RTX 50 series just had it’s most successful launch ever, the fastest launch in our history. And PC gaming is now 30 years old, so that tells you something about how incredible GeForce is.”

The short showcase of the latest DLSS technology and Neural Rendering was great to see, though Nvidia acknowledges that GeForce is now a smaller part of its company, at least when it comes to the latest breakthroughs. DLSS has been “a ten-year journey,” says Huang, beginning from when Team Green started working on AI all that time ago.
For gamers who have been keen to check out the latest Nvidia graphics cards, they may not exactly agree with the ‘most successful’ launch claim. The RTX 50 series has been hit by a number of setbacks, from limited stock issues to missing ROPs on high-end cards, driver issues, and recently, the disdain for the 8GB 5060 Ti graphics card. Luckily, all of this has already been resolved or addressed.
Nvidia has its reasons to stick with 8GB for its more budget-friendly options, previously pointing out that it wishes to optimize the price-to-performance ratio with these cards. GeForce may not be the biggest part of its keynotes anymore, but it’s clear that its gaming GPUs are here to stay, especially when it continues to enjoy the majority of GPU market share.
