According to the latest behind-the-scenes information, NVIDIA's new flagship card will feature 24 GB of GDDR7 VRAM with a speed of 28 Gbps, a 384-bit bus and a bandwidth of 1536 GB/s.

The new information, released by leaker @kopite7kimi, points to the jump in speed from 21 Gbps in the RTX 4090 to 28 Gbps for the implementation of GDDR7 in NVIDIA's new top of the line, based on the Blackwell architecture. Remember that this new DRAM standard can exceed this barrier, reaching up to 64 Gbit. As for the bus, the new rumors point to 384-bits, instead of the 512-bits initially rumored.





If the rumors are true. The RTX 50 should be configured as follows:

• GB202 - 512-bit bus, 24 GB VRAM, 1536 GB/s bandwidth;
• GB203 - 256-bit bus, 16 GB VRAM, 1024 GB/s bandwidth;
• GB204 - 192-bit bus, 12 GB VRAM, 768 GB/s bandwidth;
• GB206 - 128-bit bus, 8 GB VRAM, 512 GB bandwidth;
• GB207 - 128-bit bus, 8 GB VRAM, 512 GB/s bandwidth.

And will require a personal nuclear reactor to run

 

[BennyBlanco]

i think ill sit this one out. 4090 is more than enough for the games coming out these days.

 

[SGRU]

8K resolution and 4K price tag.

 

[Magic Carpet]

Replacing my 4070 with a 5090 as soon as I see that thing sitting on a shelf at Best Buy, next to the keyboards and mice.

 

[tusharngf]

Hell yeah

 

[Nvzman]

And will require a personal nuclear reactor to run

Why do you say that? The 40 series GPUs are extremely efficient, my 4080 consumes like 220w-250w playing things like Cyberpunk maxed out and getting 90fps-ish.

 

[Bernoulli]

8K price tag and 4K dlss resolution.

 

[Mithos]

Hope there is a card that's within my budget and that is an upgrade worth getting.
3000 and 4000 series was not.

 

[FalconPunch]

I'll be sitting this one out till good "next-gen" games actually start releasing. 4090 can play everything and I only got that for cyberpunk.

 

[Sanepar]

16gb on 5080 is a joke. Nvidia insist to not give vram so gpus dies fast.

I will wait with my 4080 for 6080 hope with 32gb vram

 

[amigastar]

I'm happy with my RTX 4070 right now, i'm just curious how long that will last.
But i only wish PC games would be optimized better so it doesn't take the beefiest graphics card to run them optimally

 

[GustavoLT]

DLSS 4 only possible on RTX 50... series!

 

[kutthoat5150]

Nvidia needs to either work on making these smaller or start making their own computer cases using these GPU's to fit other components into

 

[Gaiff]

Lol at the massive drop in bandwidth between 202 and 203. I want the RTX 5080 to be a further cut down 202 but I know it'll be a fucking 203 with 16GB.

 

[intbal]

Need a poll thread for price predictions.
I say $2999.

 

[Magic Carpet]

Nvidia needs to either work on making these smaller or start making their own computer cases using these GPU's to fit other components into

I've got 13 inches of room in my case if I remove the front fan. They need to start making these things with built in AIO or something as standard for cases that are 'reasonable' size.

 

[MadchesterManc]

3090 still putting in a shift, might sit out another gen for shits & giggles.

 

[Catphish]

I was planning on upgrading when the 5080s dropped, but now might wait til whatever is new when GTA6 releases.

 

[amigastar]

Smart decision. GTA 6 will be interesting what specs it will need.

 

[SantaC]

5080s gimped again

 

[GHG]

Prices aren't coming back down.

[tamago84]

Still enjoying slay the spire on 3090/5900x

 

[SportsFan581]

Looks like this lineup will be VRAM constrained in the same way the last series was/is.

 

[peish]

Hell yeah

I love this man

Invested in Nvda, cant wait for 5090. I skipped 4090 because of the 12vhpw nonsense.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

 

[iamvin22]

i think ill sit this one out. 4090 is more than enough for the games coming out these days.

Isn't a 4080 super just as good these days?

 

[GHG]

Isn't a 4080 super just as good these days?

I'd say anything 4080 and above is more than enough for 99% of current games at any resolution up to 4k.

 

[Audiophile]

I wonder what "DLSS 4" will be; something completely novel or just refinements of AA/SS, Frame-Gen & Ray Reconstruction?

 

[amigastar]

I'd say anything 4080 and above is more than enough for 99% of current games at any resolution up to 4k.

What would be the 1%?

 

[HerjansEagleFeeder]

5080 with only 16GB would be ridiculous.

 

[M1chl]

And it will be mine on launch

 

[The Cockatrice]

Cool, wish we had some amazing visually demanding games to play but nothing on the horizon for this year and prolly next one either so i'll stick to my 40 series.

 

[Danknugz]

day one for sure AI generation slow as fuck on the 4090

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

Isn't a 4080 super just as good these days?

Pushing 4k 240hz monitor, I need more power

 

[TheUsual]

What type of CPU would we need not to bottleneck this? Not tech literate but I definitely wouldn't want to get something high end like this and hamstring it with a CPU.

 

[Lumpyoatmeal]

I'll be sitting this one out till good "next-gen" games actually start releasing. 4090 can play everything and I only got that for cyberpunk.

The current consoles are lagging behind. We already got games on the PC that are showing the next graphical step even if developers locked their assets for newer hardware. For example in this mod:


You can see the higher quality surface materials that the next generation of consoles games will be doing.

 

[Celcius]

My 3090 is still running all my games fine but I'm just ready to upgrade. That 5090 will be mine!

 

[RickSanchez]

Cool cool cool. I'll skip the next couple of generations but its always exciting to keep up with news about the latest powerplant-consuming graphics powerhouses released by Nvidia.

I had a 1080Ti, now a 4090, so i guess my next will be the PTX 7090Ti Pro Ultra Super Max, which will cost 3 months' salary, and will require its own cabinet, and maybe a its own portable nuclear powerplant.

 

[Wooxsvan]

I just got my 7900xtx last summer but that 5090 might have to be a new build....

 

[rodrigolfp]

8 GB VRAM

This should be a crime in 2024.

 

[Rossco EZ]

So a 5070 will still have 12GB VRAM according to leaks? I was hoping they would go for 16gb at least

 

[cinnamonandgravy]

 

[Arsic]

As a current 3080 owner I'm going 5090 this time to not get boned.

 

[DeaDPo0L84]

When I first built my PC I got a 2070 Super, then a 3080, gave that to my wife, got myself a 3090, then got us both a 4090. I think I'll finally skip a generation, can't imagine there being some generational leap. With that said I'm still excited to see how these compare.

 

[Mortisfacio]

Hopefully those VRAM numbers aren't accurate, but knowing NVIDIA it probably is. Low VRAM has been a huge bottleneck as it is.

 

[amigastar]

I don't understand why Nvidia is so scrooge-like with their VRAM.

 

[CrustyBritches]

I wonder what "DLSS 4" will be; something completely novel or just refinements of AA/SS, Frame-Gen & Ray Reconstruction?

It generates the game real-time from a text prompt

 

[Ulysses 31]

Better come with a DisplayPort 2.1 so I can make full use of my monitor!
