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

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

The upcoming Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 is generating significant buzz, with leaked specifications painting a picture of a powerful, albeit power-hungry, graphics card. Key rumored features include a massive 32GB of GDDR7 video memory—double that of the anticipated RTX 5080 and 5070 Ti—and a substantial 575W power draw. The official unveiling is slated for Nvidia's CES 2025 keynote on January 6th.

Codenamed Blackwell, the RTX 50 series represents Nvidia's next-generation leap in graphics card technology, arriving over two years after the RTX 40 series launch. Building upon its predecessor, the RTX 50 series will leverage proprietary Tensor Cores for AI processing, alongside features like DLSS upscaling, ray tracing, and PCIe 5.0 support (on 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 directly compete with AMD's Radeon RX 9000 series and Intel's Battlemage GPUs.

Pre-CES Leaks and Inno3D's iChill X3

While rumors should be treated cautiously, information regarding the RTX 5090 has surfaced. VideoCardz reported that Inno3D, a key Nvidia AIB partner, showcased its iChill X3 RTX 5090. This triple-fan cooler design occupies over three expansion slots and, according to its packaging, boasts 32GB of GDDR7 memory and a 575W TDP – a significant jump from the RTX 4090's 450W.

High-End Performance, High-End Price

The RTX 5090's impressive specifications come at a cost. The 32GB GDDR7 memory and high power draw suggest a premium price point, with speculated MSRP starting at $1999 or higher. Nvidia remains tight-lipped about official pricing. The RTX 50 series will utilize a 16-pin power connector, though adapters will be provided.

The Full RTX 50 Series Unveiling

Alongside the RTX 5090, Nvidia will unveil the RTX 5080 and RTX 5070 Ti during their CES keynote on January 6th at 9:30 PM Eastern Time. The release of this new generation will undoubtedly be a significant event in the PC gaming landscape.
