An X user has published an image of what is a very early design prototype of what seems to be a RTX 5090 And this allows us to see how it has evolved towards the version which is currently on the market at a price that is not suitable for all audiences.
Up to 4 power connectors
For this reason, this is an RTX 5090, which attracts the attention of this prototype the most is that it has up to four 12VHPWR power connectors capable of providing the graphics card a total of 2400 W.
If we make a little memory, various rumors before the presentation of the RTX 5090 indicated to the highest range of the RTX 50 series would have several supply connectors of this type, so this prototype would be a previous model which needed up to 2,400 W to function, depending on those who are able to offer as maximum power.
He has four 12VHPWR interfaces!

Although Nvidia most likely worked on a different design so that instead of providing 600W By the connector, the necessary power was lower to avoid heating problems with the connector and that it ended as we saw with the RTX 4090 and also in the RTX 5090, including specific connectors such as those facilitated by MSI with its yellow graphics.
The solution to this problem can implement different food ports to provide less energy for everyone, but enough for the card to work. However, most likely, due to space problems, the company led by Jensen Huang did not have the opportunity to use it.
This circuit plate, which left in two once the test phase is complete, has several diagnostic connectors, the characteristics of a development phase prototype which are eliminated in the final products. We can also see five screenings, another of those that Nvidia generally incorporates, which could imply that with this Nvidia prototype, they tested the quality and intensity of the output under different workloads.
It is important to note that it is not entirely clear that it is really an RTX 5090 because there are indications that it could also be a RTX Pro 6000 (The graphic halfway between domestic use models and those used in AI training centers). It is also the possibility that we are talking about a model thrown for years that he has never seen light or simply a very early development version of any other model, although everything indicates that it is a RTX 5090, although we never know.
