The GeForce RTX 5090, NVIDIA’s next flagship gaming GPU, will not be available as part of the initial launch for the GeForce RTX 50 Series, according to a new tweet from a respected leaker who claims that the GeForce RTX 5080, its weaker sibling, will be released first. The statement was delivered in response to a rumor from earlier this week that claimed NVIDIA would only be launching the GeForce RTX 5090 this year, with the rest of the “Blackwell” GPUs coming later, in 2025.
Rumored specs for the GeForce RTX 5090/5080 include:
- GeForce RTX 5090
- Blackwell GPU: GB202
- Streaming Multiprocessors: 192
- Memory Bus Width: 512-bit
- GeForce RTX 5080
- Blackwell GPU: GB203
- Streaming Multiprocessors: 96
- Memory Bus Width: 256-bit
The word from kopite7kimi:
