NVIDIA RTX 5090 Ti Specifications Leaked
While the RTX 5090, which has been at the top of the graphics card market for some time, hasn’t faced much competition, NVIDIA is preparing to raise the bar even higher. Leaks regarding the NVIDIA RTX 5090 Ti model indicate that the company isn’t content with its current flagship and is planning a more ambitious variant under the Blackwell architecture. While there hasn’t been an official announcement yet, the shared technical details point to a significant increase in power consumption alongside the performance boost.
NVIDIA RTX 5090 Ti Performance and Power Details
According to leaks, the NVIDIA RTX 5090 Ti will be based on a modified version of the GB202 chip used in the standard model. A nearly 5% increase in the number of CUDA cores is mentioned. This means the total number of cores could exceed 17,000. While the increase on paper seems limited, a more significant leap in real-world performance is targeted with increased clock speeds and power limits.
The most striking point is the power consumption. The rumored TDP values for the NVIDIA RTX 5090 Ti are between 700 and 750 watts. This surpasses even the already high-powered RTX 5090. There are also claims that some prototypes tested draw significantly higher power. This could create serious requirements in terms of cooling design and case compatibility.
On the performance side, expectations are for an increase of around 10% compared to the RTX 5090, potentially reaching 15-20% in the final version. The difference is expected to be more noticeable, especially in high-resolution and ray tracing scenarios. However, whether this increase will be directly proportional to the power consumption is already a subject of debate.
While there is no definitive confirmation regarding the release date, the second half of the year is indicated. The NVIDIA RTX 5090 Ti could be positioned as a model that pushes its own performance limits rather than competing with the rest of the market. However, the true success of this card will depend on how well the extra performance it offers is balanced with the hardware cost and energy requirements.
