The 3D guru believes he knows a lot about Nvidia’s upcoming top card in the RTX 50 series, which will replace the RTX 4090.

Nvidia has shared a promotional image of an upcoming super card. There is only an overview of one of them on the Facebook page, so we don’t know which model it is. In any case, it has been known for some time that the company will hold a press conference on January 8th.
Nvidia Blackwell “GB202” may have been revealed
First of all: According to the graphics blog, the RTX 5090 will be equipped with what is expected later this year (or next year, more on that later), the company will unveil the new 50 series this month, the card has already been received It has 32GB of RAM, an increase over 24GB of RAM on the RTX 4090.
In addition we find:
- 204 streaming multiprocessors
- 26,112 cores
- 32Gbps GDDR7 RAM on 384-bit bus
- L2 cache: 96 MB
- 12 graphics processing clusters (GPCs) x 8 texture processing clusters (TPCs)
“Each TPC is expected to contain 2 SMs, each with 128 FP32 cores. “This structure leads to a theoretical core count of 24,576 (192 SMs) for a fully activated GB202 chip,” explains GuruOf3D, who of course does not dare to speculate on the price of this monster. The RTX 4090 is still the performance king by a significant margin, but it also costs a lot with a still stable price of around NOK 20,000. The question is whether the RTX 5090 costs more or whether the RTX 4090 will be pushed down by a few thousand.
Memory bandwidth is expected to be significantly increased, reaching 1536 GB/s, a 50 percent increase over the RTX 4090’s 1008 GB/s. The shader performance is also increased by 60 percent – overall, the performance should increase by a factor of two compared to the current top RTX card.
Is the 50 series a 2025 product?
As far as launch goes, it’s hard to say exactly what Nvidia has in mind. As already known, they will introduce super editions of some models later this month. Since the 4090 is still so fast, it’s not out of the question that they’ll wait until next year to get the RTX 5090. At least that’s what we reported last August:
“Nvidia’s new generation of graphics cards will launch in 2025, according to the company, and product information is now slowly starting to leak.”
