Nvidia RTX 5090: Alleged Specs Emerge

Nvidia's GeForce RTX 5090: A Deep Dive into Leaked Specs and Expected Performance

Nvidia's upcoming RTX 50 series, codenamed Blackwell, is generating significant buzz ahead of its official unveiling at CES 2025. Leaks suggest the flagship RTX 5090 will be a powerhouse, boasting impressive specifications but potentially demanding a high price.

Key features anticipated for the RTX 5090 include:

• Massive Memory: A substantial 32GB of GDDR7 video memory – double that of the expected RTX 5080 and 5070 Ti.
• High Power Consumption: A significant 575W power draw, necessitating a robust power supply.
• Cutting-Edge Features: Leveraging Nvidia's Tensor Cores for AI processing, DLSS upscaling, ray tracing, and PCIe 5.0 support (on compatible motherboards).

These details, initially reported by VideoCardz and showcased by Inno3D's iChill X3 RTX 5090 (a three-fan card occupying over three expansion slots), paint a picture of a high-performance card. The increased power draw compared to the RTX 4090's 450W suggests a considerable performance leap. However, this comes at a cost. Industry speculation points to an MSRP potentially exceeding $1999.

The entire RTX 50 series, including the RTX 5080 and RTX 5070 Ti, will be officially revealed during Nvidia's CES keynote on January 6th. The new generation will utilize a 16-pin power connector, though adapters will be readily available.

While these leaks offer exciting glimpses, it's crucial to remember that unconfirmed information should be treated with caution until official announcements. The actual performance and pricing of the RTX 5090 will ultimately determine its reception in the market.
