Nvidia's GeForce RTX 5090: A Deep Dive into Leaked Specs and Anticipated Performance
Rumors surrounding Nvidia's upcoming GeForce RTX 5090 graphics card are heating up, promising a significant leap in performance and memory capacity. Key leaked specifications point to a powerhouse GPU, but at a considerable cost.
Key Features and Specifications (Based on Leaks):
Codenamed Blackwell: The RTX 50 series represents Nvidia's next-generation architecture, succeeding the RTX 40 series. It will leverage Nvidia's proprietary Tensor Cores for AI processing, alongside features like DLSS upscaling, ray tracing, and PCIe 5.0 support (on compatible motherboards). This new generation will compete directly with AMD's Radeon RX 9000 series and Intel's Battlemage GPUs.
Inno3D's iChill X3 RTX 5090 Leak: Further fueling the speculation, Inno3D, an Nvidia AIB partner, seemingly showcased their version of the RTX 5090. Images reveal a triple-fan cooler design occupying over three expansion slots. The packaging confirmed the 32GB GDDR7 memory and the substantial 575W power draw.
High Performance, High Price: While the specifications are impressive, the RTX 5090 is anticipated to command a premium price. Estimates place the MSRP at $1,999 or higher. Nvidia remains tight-lipped on official pricing. The card will utilize a 16-pin power connector, though adapters will be provided.
The Broader RTX 50 Series: The RTX 5080 and 5070 Ti will also be launched alongside the RTX 5090 during Nvidia's CES keynote. The entire series promises a significant upgrade, but the final impact on consumers remains to be seen.
