Hot off the press – the NVIDIA RTX 5090 was officially annouced at CES 2025. Here’s everything we know about the RTX 5090… So far!
RTX 5090 – The Specs
The NVIDIA 5090 will be built upon Blackwell architecture, boasting a whopping 21,760 CUDA cores, to deliver up to two times the performance compared to the RTX 4090. With speeds ranging from 2.01GHz (base) to 2.41GHz (boost), the 5090 RTX will truly facilitate blisteringly quick performance while rendering and other graphical-intensive tasks such as video editing, 3D imaging, and more. Plus, the 32GB GDDR7 video memory and 512-bit interface delivers maximum efficiency across all those multi-threaded applications, while the suite of integrated tech such as G-Sync ensures superior responsiveness, zero screen tearing, and minimal latency.
The RTX 5090 is primed for gaming featuring 4th Gen RT and 5th Gen Tensor cores, along with support for all-new DLSS 4 to accelerate rendering and enable you to play at up to 4K resolutions with 240Hz FPS. This is even with full tray racing and max settings meaning you can truly enjoy your favourite gaming worlds like never before.
Thankfully, NVIDIA appears to have also taken onboard initial criticism seen with the RTX 40 Series. The NVIDIA 5090 has been designed from the ground up with improved thermals to mitigate the issues first seen with the 4090, and the included 16-pin connector will supply more than enough power to handle the 575W TDP. However, while the 5090 RTX requires 150W more than its 40 Series counterpart, it does feature a much slimmer form factor, sporting an SFF-Ready 304 x 137mm design and requiring only two slots.
