Rumor: The First Specs Of The Nvidia RTX 5090 Have Leaked

Nvidia's GeForce RTX 5090: A Powerhouse with a Price Tag

Leaked specifications suggest Nvidia's upcoming RTX 5090 graphics card will be a powerhouse, boasting 32GB of GDDR7 video memory – double that of the anticipated RTX 5080 and 5070 Ti. This impressive memory capacity, however, comes at a cost: a substantial 575W power draw. The official unveiling of the RTX 50 series, including the RTX 5090, is slated for Nvidia's CES keynote on January 6th, 2025.

The RTX 50 series, codenamed Blackwell, represents Nvidia's next-generation leap in graphics card technology, arriving over two years after the RTX 40 series launch. Building upon its predecessors, the RTX 50 series will leverage Tensor Cores for AI processing, incorporate DLSS upscaling, ray tracing capabilities, and offer PCIe 5.0 support for compatible motherboards. This new lineup will replace the RTX 40 series (some models of which, like the RTX 4090D and RTX 4070, have already been discontinued) and compete directly with AMD's Radeon RX 9000 series and Intel's Battlemage GPUs.

Pre-CES leaks from Inno3D, an Nvidia AIB partner, showcased their iChill X3 RTX 5090 – a triple-fan card occupying over three expansion slots. The packaging confirmed the 32GB GDDR7 memory and the significant 575W power requirement, a considerable jump from the RTX 4090's 450W.

The Nvidia RTX 5090: High Memory, High Power, High Price

Key features of the RTX 5090, as revealed by Inno3D, include:

• 32GB GDDR7 Memory: Twice the anticipated memory of the RTX 5080 and 5070 Ti.
• 575W Power Draw: Requires a high-capacity power supply.
• Official Reveal: January 6th, 2025, at CES.

The RTX 50 series will utilize a 16-pin power connector, though adapters will be provided. While the specifications are undeniably impressive, the RTX 5090 is expected to command a premium price, potentially starting at $1,999 or higher. Nvidia has yet to confirm pricing.

The RTX 5080 and 5070 Ti will be unveiled alongside the RTX 5090 at Nvidia's CES presentation. The arrival of this new generation will undoubtedly be a significant event for PC gamers and enthusiasts.
