Massive VRAM and Impressive Cooler Size: Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 Packaging Leak

Excitement is building in the tech world as the much-anticipated Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 is set to make its grand debut at CES 2025. Recent leaks have confirmed that this powerhouse of a graphics card will boast an impressive 32 GB of GDDR7 memory, significantly surpassing the VRAM offered by its predecessor, the RTX 4090.

This revelation about the RTX 5090 aligns with earlier speculations about its enhanced capacity. Just last week, we caught a glimpse of the MSI-branded GeForce RTX 5080, confirming that it would feature 16 GB GDDR7 VRAM. Now, the unveiled packaging for the RTX 5090 not only confirms its VRAM details but also reveals its imposing 3.5-slot design. This design choice is likely a necessity considering it will be managing a hefty 575 watts of power, necessitating advanced cooling systems. The leak suggests that this card will be an Inno3D iChill X3 model.

While we eagerly await further specifications, such as those typically found on the back of the box, one key innovation has been highlighted—DLSS 4.0 will launch alongside the GeForce RTX 50 series. However, patience will be required for those eager to upgrade, as the GeForce RTX 5080 is expected to hit the shelves first in late January, with the RTX 5090 following a few weeks thereafter.

Stay tuned as more details emerge about Nvidia’s latest ventures into VRAM-heavy gaming technologies, promising to elevate the gaming experience to new heights with their upcoming releases.
