Is Nvidia Launching World Most Powerful Graphics card, GeForce RTX 5090?

There have been rumors, and if the information that has been released is accurate, the incoming RTX 5090 will be a remarkable increase, offering 1.7x the performance of the RTX 4090. According to rumors, the next-generation flagship GPU will feature 50% more cores, 78% more cache, 52% greater memory bandwidth, and a 15% higher frequency than the one it replaces.

GeForce RTX 5090 Performance

If the rumors are true, the RTX 5090 could have 192 SM or 24,576 FP32 cores, 1532GB/s of memory bandwidth and 128MB of L2 cache, making it a very powerful GPU. However, it is important to treat all leaks and rumors with caution until official confirmation is received.

How powerful is the current RTX 4090 graphics card?

RTX 4090 is already the fastest graphics card in the world, which makes it a great option not only for gamers, but also for creators, AI applications and professionals. But Nvidia is now working on its new generation GPU lineup, and a new leak has now apparently revealed some details about the RTX 5090, which should be the top dog in the RTX 50 series. 

The information comes from the reputable Panzerlied on the Chiphell forums and gives us information about the next generation of Nvidia’s Blackwell series GPUs. In particular, the dumper claims that the RTX 5090 is 1.7 times faster (than the RTX 4090), which should make it an impressive upgrade. 

The poster also suggests that the next-gen flagship will have 50% more "scale" (presumed to be cores), 78% more (L2) cache, 52% more memory bandwidth and 15% higher frequency than its predecessor. 

RTX 5090 specifications

• If the rumors are true, the RTX 5090 could have 192 SMs or 24,576 FP32 cores, as the RTX 4090 offers 128 SMs and 16,384 FP32 cores.
•  In terms of memory bandwidth, the RTX 5090 could have an effective bandwidth of 1532 Gb/s, compared to the 4090's 1008 Gb/s.
• The rumored 78 percent more cache could mean that the next-gen card would have 128MB of L2 cache compared to the RTX 4090's 72MB.

Finally, the post also claims that the frequency of the new card will increase by 15 percent, which suggests that the boost clock of the RTX 5090 could be around 2.9 GHz. For comparison, the RTX 4090 has a base clock of 2.23 GHz and a boost clock of 2.52 GHz.

In general, the rumors paint a picture of a very powerful card, but since the release of the RTX 50 series is still very far away, it would be wise to take all leaks and rumors with a grain of salt.
