Leaked Specs Hint at Nvidia RTX 5090's Imminent Arrival

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, particularly the flagship RTX 5090. Leaks suggest a powerhouse GPU with impressive specifications, set for an official unveiling at CES 2025.

Key features anticipated for the RTX 5090 include:

• Massive Memory: A substantial 32GB of GDDR7 video memory – double that of the projected RTX 5080 and 5070 Ti.
• High Power Consumption: A significant 575W power draw, demanding a robust power supply.
• Advanced Features: Leveraging Nvidia's Tensor Cores for AI processing, alongside DLSS upscaling, ray tracing, and PCIe 5.0 support.

These details emerged from Inno3D, an Nvidia AIB partner, showcasing their iChill X3 RTX 5090 – a triple-fan card occupying over three expansion slots. The packaging confirmed the 32GB GDDR7 memory and the substantial 575W power requirement. This represents a considerable jump from the RTX 4090's 450W TDP.

While these pre-CES leaks should be treated cautiously, they paint a picture of a high-performance card expected to command a premium price. 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 provided. The RTX 50 series will compete directly with AMD's Radeon RX 9000 series and Intel's Battlemage GPUs.
