Arrr, mateys! Word be sailin' that the mighty Nvidia RTX 5090 be sailin' 1.7 times swifter than the RTX 4090, already a card faster than any landlubber be needin'. Avast! Ye be settlin' for less, forsooth!
The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 is rumored to be nearly twice as fast as the RTX 4090, which is already a powerful graphics card. The RTX 5090 is expected to lead the Nvidia 5000-series launch lineup in 2024 and will have major spec upgrades, including more CUDA cores, faster clocks, and wider memory bandwidth. These rumored specs come from a post on the Chiphell forum by user Panzerlied, who has a decent track record for leaking information. The post claimed that the RTX 5090 could have 192 streaming multiprocessors, 24,576 CUDA cores, 192 ray tracing cores, and 768 tensor cores. Additionally, the card may have a memory bandwidth of 1,532 GB/s and an L2 cache of 128MB. The RTX 5090 could also have a 15% increase in clock speeds. It is unclear why Nvidia would push the card's performance so far ahead of its predecessor, as the RTX 4090 is already more powerful than what most people need. However, it seems that Nvidia is not holding back and we can expect a powerful launch card in 2024.If the leaked specs are legitimate, it raises the question of who exactly needs a card like the RTX 5090. The RTX 4090 is already the best 4K graphics card, but very few people have 4K workloads that require such power. Additionally, the RTX 4090 is already expensive, so doubling its performance will likely come with a hefty price increase. This suggests that the RTX 5090 is essentially a new Nvidia Titan RTX. The Titan RTX was marketed to creative professionals for video editing, 3D rendering, and other compute-intensive workloads. The RTX 3090, which was a close contender for both gamers and creators, was also marketed heavily towards gamers. However, few gamers bought the RTX 3090 due to its high price. If the RTX 5090 is indeed 70% faster than the RTX 4090, it is likely to be targeted towards creative professionals rather than gamers. It would make more sense for Nvidia to market a card like this to gamers who can actually afford it and have games that can showcase its performance. Overall, the RTX 5090 seems to be a powerful card that will cater to the creative professional market.
