Nvidia’s RTX 5090 will reportedly include 32GB of VRAM and hefty power requirements

Nvidia’s RTX 50-series cards might arrive at CES 2025.

www.theverge.com

Nvidia is reportedly planning to ship its upcoming GeForce RTX 5090 graphics card with 32GB of GDDR7 memory. Hardware leaker Kopite7kimi has published rumored specifications for the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 today, and both cards will reportedly be more power-hungry as Nvidia looks to debut more capable next-gen GPUs.
The RTX 5090 is said to have a 600-watt spec, although as VideoCardz points out it’s not clear if this refers to how much the entire GPU board draws, or how much power the chip itself consumes. Either way, it looks like the RTX 5090 will draw 150 watts more than the 450 watts that the RTX 4090 pulls. The RTX 5090 will also reportedly include 32GB of GDDR7 memory on a 512-bit bus, with 21,760 CUDA cores.

Not a graphics card for me, i like a good balance between price and performance.

 

[kevboard]

it's all about the price in the end.
will it be another overpriced launch like the 40 series, or will it be a pleasant surprise like the 30 series?

 

[Wooxsvan]

$2500

 

[Prekk]

Come on now.

 

[cormack12]

600w?? Jesus.

 

[DeepEnigma]

$2500

Came to post this. Left broke.

 

[Madonis]

No thanks, not for me. I need my wallet for many other things.

If you buy this, you won't need a wallet any more. Life hacks.

 

[DeepEnigma]

If you buy this, you won't need a wallet any more. Life hacks.

And, now hear me out, with 600 nuclear watts, you can double it as a space heater in the high fuel cost winter.

 

[GoldenEye98]

This things probably going to be $1999 isn't it?

 

[Tarnpanzer]

This things probably going to be $1999 isn't it?

With 32GB of VRAM? 2,3-2,5k is my bet.

 

[Mayar]

I think all this doesn't matter anymore. No one will optimize games better because of this, so everything will lag just like now. Yes, it doesn't sound optimistic, but honestly, lately all these new announcements from Nvidia, contribute not to the development of the market, but to the development of even greater laziness on the part of developers...

 

[winjer]

512 bit bus? That is a lot, even for a xx90 card.
No wonder it uses so much power.

 

[tmlDan]

So it's gonna be expensive, that's all i see here

600 watts is crazzzzyyy

 

[mrcroket]

600W

 

[Loke]

Will probably be $2800-3000 here in Sweden. A 4090 costs around $2400 here.

[OverHeat]

Day 0 cant wait!!!!!

 

[Celcius]

Day one, bring it on

 

[Lootlord]

5080 still gonna be 16GB for sure.

 

[Dorfdad]

yeah if this cost over 2K I'm out of the PC gpu market. Geforce Now will have to be my savior for high end graphics and PS6 / Nextbox

Do you think the Ultimate tier gets the 5080 quickly?

 

[saintjules]

600 watts is immense. I only have Corsair RM750...

What am I talking about, I just got a 4070S the other week.

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

600w?? Jesus.

WTF… if the rumors of 5080 being ~20% faster than the 4090 are true, I’ll probably just go with that instead. I really don’t want my computer dumping 600w of heat into my room while I’m gaming.

 

[KuraiShidosha]

Think it's time I sell my 4090.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

Day 0 cant wait!!!!!

New build incoming with the 9800X3D

 

[Xyphie]

Wouldn't be surprised if the 5090 is way more expensive than the 4090 was. I feel like it reason it's a 512-bit bus is to serve as a dual-use AI card which bypasses production volume restrictions on advanced packaging.

 

[OverHeat]

New build incoming with the 9800X3D

9800X3D...special sauce coming to 9950X3D

 

[Brucey]

5080 still gonna be 16GB for sure.

Probably downgraded to 12G. cause f it

For $2500 plus I'd like to think 32GB isnt too much to ask

 

[G-DannY]

I'll buy 3

Vent directly out thru wall to outdoors.

 

[Sanepar]

600w for a GPU is so stupid.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

9800X3D...special sauce coming to 9950X3D

 

[Celcius]

I'll buy 3

The more you buy the more you save

 

[bundylove]

$2500

Thats.... 4 ps5 pros total .

Yeah i made the right choice today

 

[finalflame]

Brokies on suicide watch

 

[YCoCg]

And the 5080 will get 16GB, 5070 gets 12GB and 5060 gets 8GB, such is the Nvidia way.

 

[SolidQ]

Probably downgraded to 12G. cause f it

GeForce RTX 5080
PG144/147-SKU45

Do you think the Ultimate tier gets the 5080 quickly?

They usually announce it 2-3 months after. We will get 5080 for sure. For free. If GeForce Now had Mod Support. It would be absolutely the perfect service.

Yep, was toying with getting 5090 since I am skipping PS5 Pro, but I am not sure circuit in the office can handle this shit, lol.

I am very curious to see 5080 specs now. Wonder if there is any chance of over 16GB VRAM.

 

[SolidQ]

if the rumors of 5080 being ~20% faster than the 4090 are true,

there is nothing about perfomance. 5080 can be slower than 4090, or little a bit faster

 

[reinking]

Build a PC they said...

Oof. That is going to be a little too much for me. I'm going to have to bargain shop and stick with those mid-tier builds.

 

[GoldenEye98]

Yeah I just looked it up and the 4080 came to Ultimate tier a couple of months after it launched.

I just wonder if they do it again so quickly....

 

[SolidQ]

So 5070 is 12GB

 

[Diseased Yak]

Pair that bad boy with that Intel CPU that draws insane power, flip the switch and watch your neighborhood brownout.

Yeah I really hope there’s an option for more than 16. Or maybe I’ll just hold off and hope for a 5080 Ti down the road.

Honestly I’d love it if I had some compelling reason to upgrade from my 4090, but I just don’t have anything that would really benefit from any more power YET. I hope we get something like Cyberpunk’s path tracing + DLSS 3.5 did for 4000 series.

I’m talking about previous rumors I’ve heard

 

[Bojji]

It looks slower based on raw specs, unless they clock it to 3.5GHz or something.

 

[SolidQ]

we need more info, but anyway

It looks slower based on raw specs, unless they clock it to 3.5GHz or something.

yep even bandwidth not much difference.
