More leaks surrounding NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 5090 GPU have surfaced online, revealing PCB layout details, notably the power stage design and the layer configuration.
NVIDIA's Next-Gen Flagship GPU Is "Beefed Up" With Top-Tier Specifications As More PCB Details Surfaces Online
As we approach the official launch details, it seems like NVIDIA's RTX 50 "Blackwell" flagship GPU is getting more familiar with us in terms of the expected specifications, given that the rumor mill is revolving around pretty quickly in recent times. Now, in a report by Benchlife, it is stated that Team Green plans to integrate a 16+6+7 power phase design, which is a different configuration compared to what we saw with the GeForce RTX 4090 (20+3).
In addition, the GeForce RTX 5090 is now also rumored to feature a 14-layer PCB design, but this is subject to specific models, although, in this case, the reference model is likely being discussed. Other details in the report verify previous leaks of the GeForce RTX 5090, and based on the information available up till now, here's what NVIDIA's next flagship GPU looks like:
- Blackwell GB202-300
- 32 GB GDDR7 Memory
- 600W TDP
- 16+6+7 Power Phase Design
- 1x 12V-2x6 (16-pin) connector
- PCIe 5.0 Express slot
You can check our roundup on the GeForce RTX 5090, including its expected performance and pricing, in order to get an idea of how the model will pan out. Just recently, we also got a first look at the PCB design of the GPU, where not only the onboard silicon looked massive than ever, but the IHS is beefed up, likely to handle the thermal performance of the GPU. All in all, expect some profound leaps in gaming performance with the GeForce RTX 5090, as it will likely stand out as the sole competitor in the high-end segment.
The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 will be the flagship GPU and will launch either by the end of January or early February. Expect more information on the next-gen lineup at CES 2025, which is a few weeks away. Indeed, exciting times are ahead.
