Nvidia’s next-gen collection of GPUs is an open secret, and only a month out from CES 2025, the names and specs for these doubtlessly huge graphics playing cards are out within the open. In the newest leak, a graphics OEM spoiled the names of the highest 5 Nvidia playing cards, together with the monstrous RTX 5090. The top-end card within the codenamed Blackwell collection may take up a ton of house inside your PC. At the identical time, it calls for sufficient juice to make your subsequent itemized electrical invoice as large as the cardboard itself.
Card producer Zotac leaked the SKUs for Nvidia’s subsequent slate of playing cards. VideoCardz picked up on the Google Search listings CSI instruments earlier than Zotac may pull the outcomes. The screenshotted listings point out the 5090 with 32GB of GDDR7 reminiscence on the prime finish, which confirms an 8GB improve from the RTX 4090’s 24 GB.
These playing cards are large suckers. The RTX 5090 will supposedly take up three to 4 slots in your motherboard. The present RTX 4090 takes up three slots on most boards. That doesn’t account for size, nevertheless. Nvidia’s playing cards are additionally an enormous energy hog. The card producer recommends having a PSU between 650W and 750W. Past rumors hinted the cardboard itself may have a 600W TGP. Rumormonger Kotike7kimi, who usually has a great monitor file for GPU leaks, wrote on Twitter that the cardboard could demand barely lower than the full 600W. Either means, the 5080 is considerably extra manageable, supposedly demanding 400W. The present RTX 4090 has a 450W whole graphics energy.
The Zotac leak confirmed 5 playing cards, together with the GeForce RTX 5090, the RTX 5090D (a mannequin made for Chinese markets), the RTX 5080, the RTX 5070 Ti, and the RTX 5070. If you’re questioning the place the 5060 or 5050 are, it’s secure to imagine they could not arrive similtaneously these higher-end playing cards. It’s one other matter whether or not Nvidia broadcasts them at CES 2025 however later releases them.
Beyond the necessity for a separate child carriage inside your PC case to maintain it cradled with out toppling your tower, the confirmed VRAM provides extra credence to previous rumors that the 5090 may have 21,760 FP32 CUDA cores, greater than double the variety of the RTX 4090.
We’d additionally like to listen to from Nvidia itself why it determined to launch the 5070 Ti “Titanium” version concurrently with its different playing cards. Nvidia usually drops these variations later as a sidegrade to current GPUs, as with the 4070 Ti. Nvidia appears to be specializing in the high-end GPUs, whereas leaving the lower-end playing cards for later.
For the finances builders, it doesn’t depart a lot room to hope the lower-end 50-series can be cheap. There’s been a lot much less to go on with the 5060 or supposed 5060 Ti. There have been even fewer hints about any type of RTX 5050. Intel simply launched its finances playing cards just like the B580, with claims it could possibly prime the RTX 4060 in most video games, plus it comes with 12GB of VRAM. So far, rumors trace the non-Ti 5060 could have 8GB.
