GeForce RTX 5090
PG144/145-SKU30
TLDR: This is going to be more powerful than most expected basing from this spec, it's going to be a massive leap.
- GB202-300-A1: Just like 4090 is using 202 series. Probably not the full GB202 die though.
- 21760FP32: 170 SM configuration on the GB202. Versus 128 SM from 4090 AD102 a very massive uplift over the 4090
- 512-bit GDDR7 32G: a very chunky uplift over 4090's 384-bit GDDR6X also an extra 8GB over 4090's 24GB, the bandwidth here should be a massive uplift overall the 4090
- 600W: a 33% increase over 4090's 450W as well, but keep in mind this is only expected TDP not actually the GPU itself will consumer anywhere near that power on actual usage.
GeForce RTX 5080
PG144/147-SKU45
TLDR: 5080 seems to be neutered compared to 5090 so, not like the case back with Ampere RTX 30 series where the 3080 was closer to 3090, but 5080 is still better than Ada Lovelace 40 series as it is using full die of GB203 instead of cut down version and also has quite hefty increase memory bandwidth as well, so it still should offer a decent uplift over its predecessor 4080.
- GB203-400-A1: Looks like it's using the same 203 A1 series again just like the 4080 but this time it is full die version
- 10752 FP32 = 84 SM configuration. Versus 76 SM from 4080 AD103 indicating that the 5080 is using full die version of GB203 instead of cut down like the 4080 did.
- 256-bit GDDR7 16G: not as chunky as the 5090 has but it still should offer an improvement on memory bandwidth going from G6X (23Gbps) to G7 (28Gbps)
- 400W: A 25% increase over 4080
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.
