NVIDIA has recently launched the SUPER version of its RTX Series 40 video cards on the market, which were presented at CES 2024 in Las Vegas in January. But the Santa Clara house certainly hasn't stopped, and already charted the course towards 2025 and beyond with the RTX 50 Series which will be led by the RTX 5090.
NVIDIA RTX 5090: the latest features of the Blackwell architecture
With the RTX 50 Series video cards, NVIDIA will say goodbye to the Ada Lovelace architectureto launch the Blackwell architecture which takes its name from the American mathematician David Harold Blackwell who died in 2010. The goal is to improve and enhance the already impressive performance of current video cards, both on the hardware and software side.
And precisely for this reason the first rumors that reach us about the RTX 5090 are truly impressive. As has happened in the past, information regarding hardware often leaks online, and this is due to the fact that this information reaches the hands of a large number of third parties. We are talking about the entire chain of partners behind the creation of a video card, starting from TMSC, then passing through the various hardware manufacturers such as ASUS, MSI and Gigabyte but above all the entire undergrowth of third level Chinese Tier producers from which this information often arrives.
In fact GPUs with Blackwell architecture should adopt a production process with 3nm nodes from TMSC. This would allow us to reduce the size of the transistors, and at the same time lower consumption and temperatures which are already phenomenal in the RTX 40 Series!
This would allow you to create a GPU for the RTX 5090 with 192 Streaming Multiprocessors composed of a total of 24,567 CUDA Cores, compared to the 18,432 CUDA Cores of the RTX 4090. The operating frequencies are also higher and should reach around 2.9GHz. They would also be installed on the video card 32GB of GDDR7 VRAM memory with 512bit bus and 128MB of L2 Cache memory. This would translate into a notable increase in data transfer speed with a reduction in processing dead times waiting for data, and therefore a lower frame time.
The news, however, does not stop here, because we are also talking about DisplayPort 2.1 output support and many big news regarding DLSS. In particular the launch of DLSS 4.0about which however nothing really transpires because the mouths of NVIDIA employees are 'sewn together'.
The official announcement of the RTX Series 50 video cards and in particular the RTX 5090 seems to take place as early as 2024with a launch between the end of the year and the beginning of 2025.
While waiting for the official announcement, NVIDIA is enjoying its golden moment with stellar revenues also in the gaming sector which recorded impressive growth in the last quarter of 2023. And prepares to launch the new app that will replace GeForce Experience.
