Rumors from the Chiphell Chinese Forum suggest the existence of a possible Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 Ti, with leaked information and a photo of the GPU labeled with the codename GB202-200-A1. This GPU is expected to feature the maximum configuration of the Blackwell lineup for gaming, boasting 24,576 CUDA cores.
Theoretically, this configuration could result in a 13% performance improvement over the RTX 5090, equipped with 21,760 cores. The RTX 5090 Ti might also benefit from slightly higher clock speeds, with base and boost frequencies increasing by approximately 100 MHz compared to its non-Ti counterpart.
While the information remains unofficial, this potential upgrade underscores Nvidia’s commitment to pushing the limits of GPU performance in the Blackwell series. Would you like me to expand on what these improvements might mean for gaming or content creation?
RTX 5090 Ti Energy Requirement
This extra power comes at a significant cost—and not just financially. With higher performance comes greater energy demand, and the rumored RTX 5090 Ti is no exception. The GPU reportedly requires two 12V-2×6 power connectors to support its 800W TDP, an astonishing figure. For context, the RTX 5090 has a 575W TDP, the highest recorded so far in Nvidia’s GPU lineup, and this is nearly double the 450W TDP of the RTX 4090.
Regarding memory, the RTX 5090 Ti (codenamed GB202-200-A1) is expected to retain the same configuration as the RTX 5090, featuring 32 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 512-bit bus. While specifics on VRAM speed haven’t been revealed, it will likely match the 28 Gbps speed of the RTX 5090, which offers a 1.79 TB/s bandwidth.
Given the GPU’s extreme thermal requirements, the Founders Edition cooler design must be highly advanced to handle an 800W TDP efficiently. This could lead to a significant leap in cooling technology.
While there’s speculation about Nvidia developing the RTX 5090 Ti (or possibly a Titan variant), it’s important to remember that similar rumors surrounded a potential RTX 4090 Ti, which was ultimately scrapped due to heat and power concerns.
