Nvidia is apparently planning the next big thing in the graphics card segment. The RTX 5090 promises a huge leap in performance with 33 percent more computing units and 78 percent higher memory bandwidth. But the price for this could be high – in more ways than one.
Nvidia RTX 5090: A lot of performance, but a lot of power hunger?
According to the reliable leaker kopite7kimi, Nvidia is planning a real monster card with the RTX 5090. 21,760 FP32 computing units should ensure brutal performance – an increase of 33 percent compared to the current RTX 4090. Nvidia is also making a big difference here in terms of storage: 32 GB of GDDR7 RAM with a 512-bit interface should have a bandwidth of 1,792 GB/s enable what a Increase of 78 percent corresponds.
However, the price for this service is high: with a TDP of 600 watts The RTX 5090 is expected to drive up power bills and cooling needs. For comparison: the TDP of the RTX 4090 is 450 watts. But at the same time, we would like to remind you that the RTX 4090 also had a TDP of 600 watts before its release. So it’s quite possible that Nvidia can curb the RTX 5090’s hunger for performance a little before the card comes onto the market.
Technical data for the RTX 5080 has also leaked
In addition to the 5090, Nvidia is apparently also planning one RTX 5080. Its hardware specifications are much more moderate with 10,752 FP32 units and a TDP of 400 watts. However, with only 5 percent more computing units than the current RTX 4080 Super, it is viewed critically.
As always, this is the case at this time unconfirmed leaks. It is therefore possible that some of the information may change. Always remember this.
