• A recent leak might have validated Nvidia’s RTX 5090 featuring 32GB of VRAM

• This comes from Inno3D’s product box image obtained by VideoCardz

• An official announcement is just hours away

Nvidia’s eagerly anticipated RTX 5090 official announcement is imminent, and a leak has already initiated the proceedings – an Inno3D RTX 5090 product box practically verifies the flagship GPU’s 32GB of VRAM.

This information comes from VideoCardz which secured the product box image (displayed below), showcasing Inno3D’s new iChill design – but crucially, supports earlier speculations indicating that Nvidia’s RTX 5090 would feature 32GB of GDDR7 memory.

While it’s essential to highlight that this is not yet confirmed as we await Jensen Huang’s keynote at CES (now only hours away), this serves as the most significant indicator. There is no confirmation on its potential pricing despite circulating rumors of a $2,500 cost, but we won’t have to wait too long to discover.

Will the boost in performance over the previous generation justify a possible significant price hike?

While there is no confirmed information regarding the RTX 5090’s specifications as of yet, the leaked image points to other rumors holding some validity. VideoCardz notes that the flagship GPU may utilize 21,760 CUDA cores compared to the RTX 4090’s 16,000 – this could indeed lead to a remarkable performance enhancement.

Given the RTX 4090’s MSRP ($1,599 / £1,499 / AU$2,959), it won’t be much of a surprise to see the 5090 spark debate among PC enthusiasts. The RTX 4090 continues to be an incredible powerhouse for gamers (particularly at 4K), however, games such as Indiana Jones the Great Circle have demonstrated its limitations (particularly when employing full path tracing).

For those in pursuit of utmost quality, you should anticipate the RTX 5090 to excel remarkably if the rumors hold true – it could even be more impressive if there isn’t a substantial increase in price from the RTX 4000 series’ flagship GPU.
