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

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

Leaked specifications suggest Nvidia's upcoming GeForce RTX 5090 graphics card will feature a substantial 32GB of GDDR7 video memory – double that of the anticipated RTX 5080 and 5070 Ti. This high-performance card will, however, demand a significant 575W power supply. The official unveiling of the entire RTX 50 series, including the RTX 5090, is scheduled for Nvidia's CES 2025 keynote on January 6th.

The RTX 50 series, codenamed Blackwell, represents Nvidia's next-generation graphics card architecture, launching over two years after the RTX 40 series. Leveraging Nvidia's proprietary Tensor Cores for AI processing, the lineup will incorporate DLSS upscaling, ray tracing, and PCIe 5.0 support (on compatible motherboards). This new generation 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, revealed details about their iChill X3 RTX 5090. This triple-fan card occupies over three expansion slots. The packaging confirmed the 32GB GDDR7 memory and the hefty 575W power draw, a considerable jump from the RTX 4090's 450W.

RTX 5090: High Memory, High Power Consumption

Key features of the RTX 5090, according to Inno3D:

• 32GB GDDR7 video memory (double the expected capacity of the RTX 5080 and 5070 Ti).
• 575W power draw (requiring a robust power supply).
• Official launch at CES 2025 on January 6th.

The RTX 50 series will use a 16-pin power connector, though adapters will be provided. While the RTX 5090's specifications are impressive, a high price tag is anticipated, potentially starting at $1999 or more. Nvidia has yet to confirm pricing.

The RTX 5080 and RTX 5070 Ti will be revealed alongside the RTX 5090 during Nvidia's CES presentation. The impact of this new generation on consumers remains to be seen.
