Nvidia Leaker Kopite7kimi mentions that multiple industry sources have confirmed that the next-generation Nvidia flagship (let's call it the RTX 5090) will feature a 512-bit memory interface. If true, this marks the first time since the GTX 280 and GTX 285 days — all the way back in 2008/2009! — that Nvidia has used a 512-bit bus width.

At a maximum throughput of 32 Gbps, a 512-bit bus width would translate into 2 TB/s throughput — double that of the RTX 4090. Considering how even $1,500 cards are nowadays insufficient to run the latest games at full settings and native resolution (looking at you, Remnant II), there may be something to that idea. With 2GB memory chips, a 512-bit interface would also translate to 32GB of VRAM total on such a GPU, or potentially even 64GB and 128GB professional versions with 4GB chips.

"5060ti still launches with 8GB"

 

[M.W.]

All for only $3500

 

[Red5]

Vram quantity isn't the problem, price is and with the AI bubble growing and the current chip war with China I don't see prices going to back to anywhere near reasonable.

 

[SantaC]

Radeon R9 Fury X had a 4096bit bus...just saying.

 

[Xyphie]

Micron intends to ship non-binary sized 24Gbit GDDR7 chips, so it's actually going to be up to 48GB single-sided.

 

[Myths]

More than a few wallets have just caught on fire ….

 

[Zathalus]

Day one baby.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Might as well use HBM3 at that point since the GPU will be $2000 plus anyway.

 

[Sybrix]

Pointless.

How many games are built to utilize that power?

Nvidia have the greatest scam going.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

I'm a fan of big buss's.

 

[Bojji]

"5060ti still launches with 8GB"

And 128 bit bus.

 

[Optimus Lime]

Wow, Nvidia must be REALLY pissed about Remnant 2.

Games? Oh no no, you're not understanding current GPU market my man.

But yeah, I consider those cards mostly pointless for most gamers unless they do some kind of rendering work on the computer too.

I even thought on getting a 4090 but then thought about the electricity bill and no thanks.

 

[nemiroff]

I need it now.

5090 size revealed.

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

A worthy upgrade

 

[CrustyBritches]

RTX 5000 refers to the price.

 

[ToTTenTranz]

Yeah, no gamer is going to be able to buy this.

It's going to be swooped up by companies hosting stable diffusion services and others running LLMs locally, not to mention all the colleges and research institutes using it for deep learning, all of whom will pay twice the MSRP for the card.

PC gaming scales? soooooooo not sure what ur on about.
If you play a game at 4k 100fps, then a double as powerfull card could push 4k 200fps?

not that difficult to grasp. 4k 240hz is coming, Displayport can do it.
i have a 144hz 4k in my home theatre as a monitor display to check everythings alright and as it should be.
its my old screen, have a QHD 240hz and dont want to go back to 144hz.

so ... let people have the performance who want it? i feel like everythings fucking slow these days.
my 8800gtx could play everything for quite a while. modern cards struggle at everything it feels like.

inb4 "I bought overpaid a 4090 last year. Should I buy this?"

 

[Thief1987]

Will it rival Apple's headset in price?

 

[BennyBlanco]

I wonder how the 4090 sold at $1600. Nvidia has the world by the balls right now. Recently became a trillion dollar company. Somehow always in position to profit huge off the latest buzzwords in tech. Nothing would surprise me with their pricing going forward. Please save us AMD Intel.

 

[Hudo]

lmao, get ready to pay $2000+ for a 5090

 

[OverHeat]

lmao, get ready to pay $2000+ for a 5090

Already did in maple buck

 

[BennyBlanco]

I kinda expect them to bring back the Titan cards and price them for retards. Another 24 gig card as the 5090. I feel like the only thing that has pushed the 4090 VRAM limit is Stable Diffusion and it’s still quite fast at it.

 

[Wooxsvan]

so guess $1600 is just the new baseline for best performance. $2k+ here we come!

Bro i got news for you

 

[Dacvak]

Threads like this are a painful reminder that I now have a mortgage…

 

[SJRB]

What kind of PSU will this need, 900w or what?

 

[Lupin3]

Hard to get excited. The actual price tag itself will probably be bigger than a 4090.

 

[rofif]

The 40 series is a joke. Cards are barely faster if not slower than last gen, while also costing more.
The only good cards are 4080 and 90 but both should be 50% cheaper.

 

[Dream-Knife]

48gb needs to be the MINIMUM of the 5090.

48gb is already a limit on AI stuff.

 

[TheRedRiders]

Sounds good but also sounds really fucking expensive.

 

[phant0m]

All for only $3500

I’ll buy Apple’s VR/AR headset instead

Spoiler

i’m not buying either

 

[Neo_game]

1000+ $ GPU to run UE5 games at 60fps is not good news for consoles or even PC gaming for that matter.

 

[mrcroket]

I doubt, it's nvidia so I will say 24gb for the 5090 and 16gb for the 5080. AMD top graphics will probably be 32gb and sponsored games "optimized" for 32gb of memory.

 

[hybrid_birth]

All for only $3500

They should market it to Apple users. They would call that cheap.

 

[Buggy Loop]

Radeon R9 Fury X had a 4096bit bus...just saying.

Ah yes, Raja's magnum opus, wide bus, slow and expensive.

 

[Silver Wattle]

"Flagship" doesn't mean the 5090 FYI.

? Remnant 2 burns through 4090 like its nothing. Pc optimization is a bitch.

they can charge whatever they want, PCMR is going to eat it up.

512 bit!

There is PLENTY of room for more power!
