Nvidia’s RTX 5090 Will Reportedly Include 32GB of VRAM and Massive Power Requirements

Nvidia is reportedly set to ship its GeForce RTX 5090 graphics cards with 32GB of GDDR7 memory. Hardware leaker Kopite7kimi has revealed: Rumored specifications revealed The latest models of the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 were announced today, and both cards will reportedly have higher power consumption as Nvidia is set to unveil its next-generation GPUs with even more power capabilities.

The RTX 5090 is said to have a 600 watt specification. Video Card Point out It’s unclear if this refers to the power consumption of the entire GPU board or the chip itself, but either way, the RTX 5090 will reportedly consume 150 watts more than the 450 watts of the RTX 4090. The RTX 5090 will also reportedly feature 32GB of GDDR7 memory on a 512-bit bus and 21,760 CUDA cores.

Similarly, the RTX 5080 is said to use 400 watts of graphics power, up from the 320 watts of the RTX 4080. They also operate sea freight services. It has 16GB of GDDR7 memory, a 256-bit memory bus, and 10,752 CUDA cores.

Kopite7kimi has been leaking various GPU info for years and has a reliable track record of Nvidia hardware leaks. 3090 Graphics and RTX 3080 card pre-launch info, RTX 4070 / RTX 4080 Super card release dates, the 12GB RTX 4080 returning as the RTX 4070 Ti, and more. We also correctly predicted that the RTX 4090 would require 450 watts of power.

Specifications for Nvidia’s top-end RTX 50 series cards may have already been leaked, but there’s no word on when these cards will arrive. A source familiar with Nvidia’s plans says we may hear more about the RTX 50 series at the Consumer Electronics Show in early 2025.
