When there are just over 2 months left before NVIDIA presents the new graphics range RTX 50an event scheduled for the first week of January at CES in Las Vegas, we already know almost all the specifications of the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080, the two graphics cards that NVIDIA will announce first.
Based on these specifications, the TGP that the RTX 5090 will have will be 600W. We learned of this information a few weeks ago and it gave rise to a rumor that NVIDIA’s high-end graphics card would use two power connectors 16 pin, which partly makes sense given the problems the RTX 4090 had with the power cable.
However, it appears that this will ultimately not be the case. Power supply manufacturer Segotep confirmed via Chinese social network Bilibili that this was not the case. This claims he has the RTX 5090 specifications and denies rumors that this graphics card includes two power connectors.
PC component manufacturers know in advance the specifications of the components that are released to the market in order to satisfy their performance needs, so initially although it is a PC component manufacturer power supplies which is not present outside of China, we could take this information as true.
In this way, it is confirmed that the substitute for RTX4090 in the market it will use the same 16 pin power connector. In this same publication, Segotep also specifies that we will see you in January, confirming that the RTX 5090 will be presented as planned in the absence of official confirmation.
The ATX 3.x power supplies have one 12V-2×6 connector and three 8-pin PCIe connectors, so if NVIDIA had chosen to use two power connectors, this would have been a problem for users who intended to buy when forced to invest in a new power supply.
What do we expect from the NVIDIA RTX 50
After several months of rumors and speculation, it looks like we finally know what the specifications will be for NVIDIA’s high-end graphics card, a graphics card managed by the company. GPU202-300-A1
Regarding the RTX 5080, it will have a configuration similar to the RTX 4080, with 16 GB of video memory, but 256-bit GDDR7 type and will have a consumption of 400W. This model is based on the GPU 203-400-A1.
AMD announced in early August that it was abandoning the graphics race against NVIDIA to fight for the high end, a move that will likely be temporary and hopefully not last long. For now, the RX 8000 Series Its market launch is planned for the first quarter of 2025.
Concerning Intel with its second generation of dedicated graphics, we know little or nothing, even if the project announced by the company is to present them before the end of 2024.
