New reports about GeForce RTX 5090. The specification will be worse
There are new reports about the GeForce RTX 5090 graphics card. They show that its specifications will be slightly worse than we previously thought.
The first GeForce RTX 50 (Blackwell) series graphics cards are scheduled to debut this year. Therefore, more and more information about them appears from week to week. There are especially many rumors regarding the most powerful model, GeForce RTX 5090. According to the latest, the card's specifications will be worse than previously said.
GeForce RTX 5090 specifications
We know that the GeForce RTX 5090 will be equipped with the GB202 chip. This one is to have 192 SM units, which will translate into 24,576 CUDA cores. However, the card, just like the GeForce RTX 4090, will probably not use the full capabilities of the GPU. The system will almost certainly be stripped down, which means fewer CUDA units.
In addition, it was said that the RTX 5090 would offer 24 or 32 GB of VRAM on a 512-bit bus. However, according to the latest news, this will not be the case. According to rumors from the Chiphell forum, NVIDIA will use not only a 448-bit interface, but also 28 GB of GDDR7 28 Gbps VRAM. At the same time, this means that the bandwidth will be 1568 GB/s, which would be an increase of as much as 50%. compared to RTX 4090.
Finally, the card, at least in the Founders Edition version, is to have a very unusual design, consisting of three separate PCBs. Apparently this allowed NVIDIA to use a much smaller, only 2-slot cooler. However, remember that these are just rumors, so you should not get too attached to them.
