First NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 GPU with 32 GB GDDR7 Memory Leaks Ahead of CES Keynote

An unannounced NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 graphics card has been leaked online, confirming the key characteristics of the next-generation GPU. Thanks to exclusive information from VideoCardz, we can see the packaging of the Inno3D RTX 5090 iChill X3 model, which confirms that the graphics card will be equipped with 32GB of GDDR7 memory. Leaked materials indicate that the Inno3D variant will use a 3.5-slot cooling system, which suggests significant cooling requirements for the flagship card. According to earlier leaks, the RTX 5090 will be based on the GB202 GPU and include 21,760 CUDA cores. The card’s memory system is a significant upgrade, with 32GB of GDDR7 memory running on a 512-bit memory bus at 28Gbps, delivering nearly 1.8TB/s of bandwidth. This is double the memory capacity of the upcoming RTX 5080, which is expected to come with 16GB capacity but 30Gbps GDDR7 modules.

Power consumption has increased significantly, with the RTX 5090 having a TDP of 575W and a TGP of 600W, which represents a 125W increase over the previous RTX 4090 in pure TDP. NVIDIA is scheduled to hold its keynote at CES today at 6:30 pm PT, where the company is expected to officially announce several new graphics cards. The line should include the RTX 5090, RTX 5080, RTX 5070 Ti, RTX 5070 and the RTX 5090D model specifically for the Chinese market. According to preliminary data, the RTX 5080 will be the first card to reach consumers, with a release date scheduled for January 21st. Release dates for other models, including the flagship RTX 5090, have not yet been confirmed. The RTX 5090 is currently the only RTX 50 series card planned to use the GB202 GPU. Pricing and additional specifications are expected to be revealed during the upcoming announcement.
