Nvidia’s RTX 5090 may come packing method quicker clock speeds than its predecessor flagship graphics card, or that’s the phrase from the grapevine.
As VideoCardz stories, over on the Chiphell boards, Panzerlied – an everyday supply of leaks, however nonetheless one we must always method with some trepidation – reckons that the RTX 5090 will run with a base clock of near 2.9GHz out of the field.
To place that in perspective, the present Lovelace high canine GPU solely simply edges over 2.2GHz for its base clock, so the RTX 5090 shall be very near 30% quicker than this – if, and it’s a chunky outdated if, this rumor is right.
Certainly, even when boosting, the RTX 4090 usually doesn’t get a lot above 2.5GHz (out of the field, with default boosts), not to mention wherever close to 3GHz. So, it is a fairly eye-opening revelation.
Panzerlied additionally not too long ago knowledgeable us in regards to the RTX 5090 supposedly utilizing a 448-bit reminiscence bus (versus the beforehand rumored 512-bit bus), which might imply a VRAM loadout of 28GB (and never 32GB – although both method, that’s a large quantity of onboard reminiscence). Bear in mind, this shall be speedy GDDR7 video RAM, too, if the rumor mill is something to go by (and to be truthful, this is smart, particularly for higher-end Blackwell GPUs).
Evaluation: Curveballs and conflicting rumors
This one is a little bit of a curveball in some respects. For a base clock pace, 2.9GHz (or close to) could be an enormous step up. Bear in mind, that is the out-of-the-box inventory clock, so the enhance could be increased, and naturally, the potential to overclock on high of that might be increased nonetheless. You may get an RTX 4090 to 3GHz with overclocking (utilizing a wonderful cooling system, and the precise know-how), so what would possibly we count on from a 5090 when it comes to pushing the GPU to its limits, if it’s not that far off 3GHz with its mere base clock?
So, we’re discovering this rumor a bit troublesome to swallow, significantly because it appears to be complicated issues with one other piece of latest hypothesis. Particularly, that the RTX 5090 may very well be a lot slimmed down, and even perhaps be a two-slot graphics card (slightly than a three-slot-plus affair).
The suggestion, then, is a a lot trimmer RTX 5090 that’ll extra simply slot in your PC case, with massively juiced-up clock speeds. Two items of the rumor puzzle that don’t actually match very effectively collectively when it comes to believability, let’s be trustworthy. Until Nvidia actually is working miracles behind the scenes with the next-gen flagship to make it the greatest GPU ever seen on the premium finish of the market.
Different RTX 5090 rumors have contradicted the slim graphics card concept, thoughts, although we have to be skeptical about these, too. Additionally, with a predicted as much as 70% efficiency enhance (gen-on-gen) previously, the clock speeds being cranked up significantly may clarify why Nvidia is getting such an enormous leap right here. So, the ramped-up clocks may appear the extra doubtless prospect, arguably, of those two rumor items, however we clearly can’t bounce to conclusions.
Regardless of the case, this gained’t dampen expectations for the RTX 5090 to be a beast of a gaming GPU, and we’ll simply have to attend to listen to any additional chatter on attainable specs. We might not be all that far off our first leaked picture, too, which will definitely affirm the dimensions rumors, a technique or one other. The RTX 5090 is predicted to debut later in 2024, possibly in just some months, though it’s attainable Nvidia’s RTX 5080 could launch a short while forward of it.
