Nvidia’s next-gen GPU lineup is an open secret, and with just a month to go from CES 2025, the names and specs for these potentially massive graphics cards are out in the open. In the latest leak, a graphics OEM has leaked the names of the top five Nvidia cards, including the monstrous RTX 5090. The flagship card in the Blackwell Code series could take up a ton of space on your PC. At the same time, it requires enough juice to make your next electric bill as detailed as the card itself.
Card maker Zotac has leaked the SKUs for Nvidia’s next list of cards. VideoCardz collected on the same Google CSI search tools before Zotac could pull the results. The screenshots list mentions the 5090 with 32GB of GDDR7 memory at the top end, which confirms an 8GB increase from the RTX 4090’s 24 GB.
These cards are great juices. The RTX 5090 will presumably take up three to four slots on your motherboard. The current RTX 4090 occupies three slots on most boards. However, it does not count the length. Nvidia cards are also massive powerhouses. The card manufacturer recommends having a PSU between 650W and 750W. Past rumors suggested that the card itself could have a TGP 600W. Noisemaker Kotike7kimi, which normally has a good history of GPU leaks, wrote on Twitter that the card can ask for a little less than the total 600W. However, the 5080 is a little more manageable, supposedly demanding 400W. The current RTX 4090 has a total graphics power of 450W.
The Zotac leak showed five cards, including the GeForce RTX 5090, the RTX 5090D (a model made for Chinese markets), the RTX 5080, the RTX 5070 Ti and the RTX 5070. If you’re wondering where the 5060 or 5050 are ., it is safe to assume that they cannot reach the same time as these higher cards. It’s another matter if Nvidia announces them at CES 2025 but then releases them.
Beyond the need for a separate lane in your PC case to hold the cradle without removing your tower, the confirmed VRAM lends more credence to past rumors that the 5090 will have 21,760 FP32 CUDA cores, more than double the the number of RTX 4090.
We’d also like to hear from Nvidia itself why it decided to release the 5070 Ti “Titanium” edition simultaneously with its other cards. Nvidia normally releases these later versions as sidegrades to existing GPUs, such as with the 4070 Ti. Nvidia seems to be focusing on high-end GPUs, while leaving lower-end cards for later.
For budget builders, it doesn’t leave much room for hope that the low-end 50 series will be inexpensive. There was much less to continue with the 5060 or supposed 5060 Ti. There have been even fewer suggestions about any kind of RTX 5050. Intel has released its budget cards like the B580with claims that it can outperform the RTX 4060 in most games, plus it comes with 12GB of VRAM. So far, rumors indicate that the non-Ti 5060 may have 8GB.
