Arrr, mateys! The scuttlebutt be sayin' the new RTX 5090 be a sight to behold, but a curse upon our purses it may be! Will we have to sell our doubloons to afford such a treasure? Aye, the sea be treacherous for us gamers!

In the language of a 17th-century pirate, Nvidia be potentially changing up its game with the RTX 5090 Founders Edition, matey. Instead of a hefty graphics card, they might be giving us a thinner one – a welcome change, considering how bulky these high-end models have become. Rumor has it that the VRAM will be more densely packed, with up to 16 chips connected via a 512-bit bus. The RTX 5090 could even be split into three PCBs – a main board, an I/O board, and a separate board for the PCIe slot.Arr, the design be different, indeed! With 16 memory modules, the RTX 5090 could boast 32GB of VRAM, provided all the chips be in place. The new PCB layout could mean a new cooling solution, perhaps a dual slot one. This slimmer flagship could be a breath of fresh sea air for those with modest PC cases.But will the performance match the trimmer design? And what about the cost? Ahoy, me hearties, only time will tell if this Blackwell flagship will be worth its weight in gold. Keep a weather eye on the horizon for more rumors about the RTX 5090 – and maybe even the RTX 5080, the next in line for Nvidia's treasure trove.
