It looks like we could see NVIDIA's upcoming RTX 5090 graphics card much sooner than we expected, and many indicators point to it launching this year, according to what one of the most prominent YouTubers in the know "Moore's Law is Dead" believes through his own leaks.
The leaker appeared in a new video in which he confirmed that a test is being carried out Architecture NVIDIA's Blackwell with a processing unit that supports B100 AI, and this includes the upcoming RTX 5090 card, and the flagship graphics card equipped with the Blackwell architecture should support full 4K resolution at 240Hz according to its opinion and the data presented for it, and NVIDIA may try to launch it before AMD does. Its next-generation GPU is known as RDNA 4.
The RTX 5090 card will be ready for release in the fall of 2024 or in the third quarter, he said, but he also indicated that it may be available in low stock given the huge demand for it, which could mean it will inevitably sell out before long.
Q4 2024 will likely be the card's launch date, but MLID actually confirms that Blackwell GPUs are on track, which is why Q3 could be NVIDIA's plan to dominate and crush AMD in the PC graphics card space.
As we previously heard from leaker MLID, the RTX 5090 card will likely be 50% to 70% faster than the previous RTX 4090 card, which makes its performance truly exceptional when you consider the massive frame rates the current card is already capable of delivering.
The gains from ray tracing support could also be greater than increased frame rate, as if other rumors are true, the Blackwell architecture could be capable of delivering twice the performance related to ray tracing technology, or even faster than that, and this GPU will be capable of running most games at 4K and 240Hz according to MLID's additional notes. With huge power consumption that could reach 1000 watts.
Since AMD's RDNA 4 graphics cards aren't expected until 2024, NVIDIA is more likely to launch the RTX 5090 cards before the arrival of the next generation of Team Red GPUs.
However, the fastest model of the RDNA 4 architecture, known as “Navi 48”, will not be as fast as the current flagship AMD RX 7900 XTX processor after all, if the rumors are true, which may not make it a competitor on the same level as the upcoming NVIDIA card.
