RTX 5090 will have 32 GB of VRAM and high power requirements

NVIDIA plans to ship its upcoming GeForce RTX 5090 graphics card with 32 GB of GDDR7 memory. This became known thanks to a leak by @Kopite7kimi about the specifications of the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080. The RTX 5090 will consume 150 watts more than the current top-of-the-line RTX 4090. This was reported by The Verge.

The RTX 5090 will require 600 watts of power. The RTX 5080 will need to provide 400 watts of power compared to 320 watts for the RTX 4080. The RTX 5090 is also reported to have 32GB of GDDR7 memory on a 512-bit bus with 21,760 CUDA cores.

Kopite7kimi has published a variety of information about GPUs over the years and has a solid track record of leaks about NVIDIA hardware. Earlier, Kopite7kimi revealed the specifications of the RTX 3090 and RTX 3080 cards before their launch, as well as the launch dates of the RTX 4070, RTX 4080 Super, and RTX 4070 Ti cards. The insider also correctly predicted that the RTX 4090 would require 450W of power.

The announcement date of the new generation of Geforce RTX graphics cards is still unknown. However, it was previously reported that NVIDIA would introduce the RTX 5090 before the rest of the series and would do so by the end of 2024.
