NVIDIA RTX 5090: Leaked Specs Hint at Gaming Supremacy

Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090: 32GB GDDR7 Memory and 575W Power Draw - A CES 2025 Reveal

Leaked information suggests Nvidia's upcoming GeForce RTX 5090 graphics card will feature a substantial 32GB of GDDR7 video memory and a power-hungry 575W TDP. This high-end GPU, codenamed Blackwell, is slated for an official unveiling at Nvidia's CES 2025 keynote address on January 6th.

The RTX 50 series, succeeding the RTX 40 series, represents Nvidia's next-generation graphics card lineup, arriving over two years later. Leveraging Nvidia's Tensor Cores for AI processing, it will incorporate DLSS upscaling, ray tracing, and PCIe 5.0 support. This new series will directly compete with AMD's Radeon RX 9000 series and Intel's Battlemage GPUs. Note that some RTX 40 series cards, such as the RTX 4090D and RTX 4070, have been discontinued by Nvidia in anticipation of the RTX 50 launch.

Ahead of the official announcement, details about the RTX 5090 emerged. Inno3D, an Nvidia AIB partner, showcased its iChill X3 RTX 5090 – a triple-fan card occupying over three expansion slots. Packaging confirmed the 32GB GDDR7 memory, double the expected capacity of the RTX 5070 Ti. The 575W TDP represents a significant increase over the RTX 4090's 450W.

The RTX 5090: High Memory, High Cost

Key features of the RTX 5090, according to Inno3D:

• 32GB GDDR7 video memory (double that of the anticipated RTX 5080 and 5070 Ti).
• 575W power draw, necessitating a high-wattage power supply.
• Official reveal at CES 2025 on January 6th.

The RTX 50 series will utilize a 16-pin power connector, though adapters will be provided. While specifications are impressive, a premium price is expected, potentially starting at $1999 or more. Nvidia has yet to officially confirm pricing.

Other RTX 50 series cards, including the RTX 5080 and RTX 5070 Ti, will also be unveiled during Nvidia's CES keynote on January 6th at 9:30 PM Eastern Time. The launch of this new generation will be closely watched by consumers.
