Although Nvidia's next flagship graphics card, the RTX 5090 — has yet to receive official pricing or specifications, let alone a proper release date, but it already has a component that is compatible with it.
Cooler Master Silent Edge Platinum 850 Fanless X Fan power supply It is currently listed on Amazon for $488 (around £385 / AU$750) and naturally supports the RTX 4090. What's surprising, however, is that the listing states that it supports the RTX 5090, which is pretty difficult considering there's nothing confirmed in the way of specs.
Even more interesting is that this is not a third-party listing, but rather a listing made on the official Cooler Master store and fulfilled by Amazon, which lends credence to this claim. The PSU’s specs are impressive: it’s rated at 850W, is 80+ Platinum certified, has a 12VHPWR power connector, and supports graphics cards up to 450W. It also uses the latest ATX 3.1 specifications and ships with a 12V-2×6 power connector (a type of 16-pin power cable).
Considering how cutting-edge the specs of the X Silent Edge Platinum 850 are, it seems like a power supply that would be perfectly suited for the RTX 5090. Especially considering that the 12V-2×6 power connector it comes with could be the new standard for 5000 series cards in general. It could easily be the The best power supply for PC on the market for quite some time, until competition appears, of course.
The RTX 5090 is more than worthy of this power supply
But what makes the Nvidia RTX 5090 look like such a beast of a graphics card (and possibly one of the best graphics cards once it launches)? What we know so farit's based on Nvidia Blackwell Architecturewhich can use a multi-chip module design.
The 5090 is also rumored to feature a 448-bit memory bus and 28Gbps GDDR7 memory modules which would be 33% faster than the 21Gbps memory modules on the RTX 4090. There is further speculation that the next-gen flagship card will feature 28GB of VRAM, a 2.9GHz boost clock speed, 24,576 CUDA cores, 128MB of L2 cache, and a memory bandwidth of 1,532GB/s.
What's even more interesting is that the RTX 5090 might not be the most powerful card of the next generation. Another rumor hints at the resurgence of the RTX Titan as an AI-powered graphics card. According to the rumor, the RTX Titan AI for Blackwell will be 63% faster than the current flagship GPU, the RTX 4090.
