Dave has been gaming since the days of Zaxxon and Lady Bug on the Colecovision, and code books for the Commodore Vic 20 (Death Race 2000!). He built his first gaming PC at the tender age of 16, and finally finished bug-fixing the Cyrix-based system around a year later. When he dropped it out of the window.
If the recently rumoured specs for the new Nvidia RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 graphics cards are indeed true we're looking at a flagship GPU with a terrifying amount of processing power and a second-tier chip that's already pissing off a lot of gaming folk. , and tells a story of one almighty RTX 5090, with a specs bump that gives it a mouth-watering amount of TSMC-built tech in a single graphics card. And reportedly still a two-slot reference card at that.
Because one of the few numbers which doesn't follow the plus-one-third trend is memory bandwidth the RTX 5090 is supposedly going to have at its disposal. With both that 512-bit bus and the use of 28 Gbps GDDR7, we are looking at 1,792 GB/s in terms of raw memory bandwidth, that's a pretty incroyable 78% increase over the RTX 4090.
I kinda don't want to think about how much this thing is going to cost, though. The RTX 4090 was a relative bargain compared to the pricing increases that happened across the rest of the RTX 40-series range, but I struggle to believe that in a world where it has zero competition Nvidia isn't going to price its flagship GPU anywhere south of $2,000.
