Nvidia RTX 5090: Revolutionizing Gaming with 32GB VRAM and Extreme Power
Breaking: Nvidia’s Next-Gen GeForce RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 GPUs to Ship with Massive Memory Updates
The wait for Nvidia’s next-generation GeForce graphics cards just got a bit more exciting. Hardware leakster Kopite7kimi has revealed rumored specifications for the upcoming RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 cards, and they’re bigger and more powerful than expected.
RTX 5090: The Biggest and Baddest
According to Kopite7kimi, the RTX 5090 will sport a whopping 32GB of GDDR7 memory, a significant upgrade over the 24GB on the current RTX 4090. This added memory will be paired with a 512-bit bus and a massive 21,760 CUDA cores, making it a behemoth of a graphics card.
But what’s even more impressive is the power it’s rumored to consume – a staggering 600 watts. That’s 150 watts more than the already-power-hungry RTX 4090.
RTX 5080: A More Balance Approach
The RTX 5080, while still a significant upgrade from the current RTX 4080, takes a more balanced approach. With 16GB of GDDR7 memory and a 256-bit bus, it’s still a monster of a card, but not quite as extreme as the RTX 5090. It’s said to consume 400 watts of power, a more manageable amount compared to its more powerful sibling.
Kopite7kimi: A Reliable Leakster
Kopite7kimi has built a reputation for accurately revealing Nvidia’s hardware secrets ahead of their official release. They’ve correctly predicted specs for the RTX 3090 and RTX 3080, the return of the 12GB RTX 4080 as the RTX 4070 Ti, and even the power consumption of the RTX 4090.
Timing for the RTX 50-Series
While the specs for Nvidia’s next-gen cards have been revealed, there’s still no word on when we can expect to see them on shelves. One source has hinted that we might learn more about the RTX 50-series at the Consumer Electronics Show in early 2025.
One thing’s for sure: Nvidia’s next-gen GeForce cards are shaping up to be something special. Will you be upgrading to take advantage of the latest tech?
