Nvidia RTX 5090 reportedly has 32GB of RAM on a 512-bit bus
Nvidia RTX 5090 features 32GB GDDR7 VRAM on a 512-bit bus, 600W power draw, and 21,760 CUDA cores. Expected CES 2025 unveiling.
Nvidia's upcoming flagship GPU, the RTX 5090, is rumored to come with 32GB of GDDR7 VRAM on a 512-bit bus, a notable increase in memory over previous estimates. Trusted source @kopite7kimi also states the card will pack 21,760 CUDA cores, marking a substantial leap from the RTX 4090's 16,384 CUDA cores, and will consume 600W of power, a figure higher than previously feared for its predecessor.
The next-tier GPU, the RTX 5080, will feature 16GB of GDDR7 VRAM on a 256-bit bus, along with 10,752 CUDA cores and a TDP of 400W. While these upgrades appear significant, some criticize Nvidia for maintaining the same VRAM size as the RTX 4080. Other models in the Blackwell series might also show similar trends, as suggested by earlier rumors.
Nvidia is likely to reveal the Blackwell series at CES 2025, potentially introducing a new benchmark for GPU performance. Meanwhile, competitors like AMD may launch their RDNA 4 mid-range and mainstream products, and Intel's Arc Battlemage series could hit the market by late 2024. This could lead to a highly competitive landscape in the GPU industry.
