He NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 The graphics card has been the subject of many rumors since at least last year, and the latest one gives us two surprising new details about what we can expect from the possible next-generation graphics card.
The RTX 5090 will most likely be based on the Nvidia Blackwell architecture and, according to the YouTube tech account. Moore's law is dead, it could be up to 70% faster than the current generation RTX 4090 graphics card. This is an absolutely massive jump in performance, which would make any of the best PC games currently on the market a cake walk.
Previous rumors had estimated that the RTX 5090's performance jump was almost twice as fast as that of the RTX 4090, so this is further data in favor of that speculation. But, as with all rumors, some skepticism is warranted until we can measure that performance ourselves.
This performance boost would likely come from up to 192 streaming multiprocessors in the RTX 5090 (a 50% increase over the RTX 4090's 128), giving the card 24,576 CUDA cores, 192 ray tracing cores, and 768 tensor cores. In other words, if any of these rumors prove successful, this card will be a true juggernaut.
However, this speed increase between cards would come at a steep price, literally. The same report suggests that the 5090 could end up costing between $2000 and $2500, with other possible prices including a $1000 RTX 5080 card, a $700 RTX 5070 card, a $400 RTX 5060 card, and then a Inexpensive RTX 5050 Ti for around $300. .
Despite the performance and costs, these may not even be the best cards Nvidia has to offer. There is another prediction that the card will most likely not be fully die-enabled, as Nvidia will almost certainly save its most powerful cards for the burgeoning AI market, the same market that launched the tech giant to market. trillion dollar profits stratosphere last year.
Nvidia apparently has no rival
It will be fascinating to see how Nvidia's focus on AI in this generation will affect its graphics card development in the next generation. We may get some obscenely powerful cards, and yet their dice won't even be fully enabled for the sake of the AI market among players, which really boggles the mind.
And there's the fact that even knowing this, Team Green can charge whatever they want for this card if AMD can't step up and produce a graphics card of a similar caliber. And with speculation that AMD isn't even going to enter the premium GPU market with its next-generation RDNA 4 architecture, it doesn't seem likely that anything will slow the rise in Nvidia graphics card prices.
