The latest rumors surrounding NVIDIA's upcoming GeForce RTX 5090 have surfaced online, revealing more details about the high-performance GPU. According to a report from BenchLife, the RTX 5090 will feature a power configuration of 16+6+7 phases, which is a significant departure from the 20+3 phase configuration of the reference RTX 4090. Additionally, the TGP (total graphics power) of the RTX 5090 is expected to be around 600W, although insiders claim that the actual TDP (thermal design power) might be lower than this value.
The RTX 5090 will also come equipped with 32GB of GDDR7 memory, running at a speed of 28 Gbps. Furthermore, the card will have a 14-layer PCB and support for the PCIe 5.0 interface. The graphics processing unit (GPU) at the heart of the RTX 5090, known as the GB202, will have an impressive die size of 744mm², making it one of the largest GPUs in NVIDIA's RTX lineup. In comparison, the TU102 GPU from the Turing architecture has a slightly smaller die size, while the AD102 and GA102 GPUs from the Ampere and Lovelace architectures, respectively, have slightly larger die sizes.
The RTX 5090 is expected to be officially unveiled at the 2025 Consumer Electronics Show (CES), along with several other new models in the RTX series, including the RTX 5070, 5070 Ti, 5080, and 5090D, which will be exclusively available for the Chinese market.
