Avast ye scallywags! The new Nvidia RTX 5090 GPU be comin' with less VRAM, but fear not, 'tis good news for gamers! Arrr!
2024-05-31
Arr matey! The Blackwell flagship graphics card be comin' in with a measly 28GB of VRAM, but who be needin' more than that anyway? We be sailin' the high seas just fine with that much booty! Aye, plenty indeed!
Arrr, me hearties! The rumors be swirlin' faster than a whirlpool about Nvidia’s RTX 5090, and it be lookin' like this flagship graphics card might be swappin' out its memory configuration. Panzerlied, a scallywag on Chiphell, be claimin' that this here card will use a 448-bit memory bus, not the 512-bit one as we heard before. This means it'll have 14 memory modules, not 16, and a slightly smaller VRAM of 28GB, if the whispers of 2GB GDDR7 memory modules be true. But fear not, me hearties, for this slight dip in VRAM won't be affectin' the performance much, with a bandwidth of 1568GB/s, 50% faster than the RTX 4090!But every storm cloud has a silver lining, me mateys! Having less VRAM might make this ship less appealin' to professional users, makin' it easier for us gamers to get our hands on it. And with fewer VRAM modules, the cost of makin' the RTX 5090 might be a tad cheaper, though don't be expectin' it to be a steal. As for the possibility of a 512-bit memory bus in the future, well, that might be saved for even fancier cards with the Blackwell chip. But fear not, for the RTX 5090 still be sailin' toward bein' one of the finest graphics cards ever made, with a big leap in performance and a slimmer profile to boot!
