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

Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090: 32GB GDDR7 Memory and 575W Power Draw

Leaked specifications point to Nvidia's upcoming GeForce RTX 5090 boasting a significant upgrade in video memory and power consumption. The card is rumored to feature a massive 32GB of GDDR7 video memory – double that of the anticipated RTX 5080 and 5070 Ti. However, this performance comes at a cost: a substantial 575W power draw.

The RTX 5090, codenamed Blackwell, will be part of Nvidia's next-generation graphics card lineup, succeeding the RTX 40 series. This launch, over two years after the RTX 40 series debut, will include features such as DLSS upscaling, ray tracing, and PCIe 5.0 support. The RTX 50 series will compete directly with AMD's Radeon RX 9000 series and Intel's Battlemage GPUs.

Inno3D's iChill X3 RTX 5090 Leak

Ahead of the official reveal at CES 2025, details emerged from Inno3D, an Nvidia AIB partner. Images of their Inno3D iChill X3 RTX 5090, a triple-fan cooler occupying over three expansion slots, confirmed the 32GB GDDR7 memory and the hefty 575W power requirement. This represents a notable increase from the RTX 4090's 450W TDP.

High Performance, High Price

The RTX 5090's impressive specifications are expected to translate to a premium price tag. While Nvidia hasn't confirmed pricing, estimates suggest an MSRP starting at $1,999 or higher. The RTX 50 series will utilize a 16-pin power connector, though adapters will be readily available.

The full RTX 50 series, including the RTX 5080 and RTX 5070 Ti, will be unveiled during Nvidia's CES keynote on January 6th, 2025. The launch promises a significant generational leap, but the high cost of entry remains a key consideration for consumers.
