Unboxing the RTX 5090: Nvidia’s Game-Changer GPU Revealed!

by

Since 2024, Nvidia has been thriving and shows no signs of letting up, as it revealed its most potent consumer-focused graphics card yet, named the RTX 5090. As Nvidia’s next top model, the RTX 5090 faces high expectations following the impressive performance of the RTX 4090 against competitors, despite being priced $400 higher, although it boasts a greater number of cores.

Team Green recently demonstrated the opening of the RTX 5090 on its ‘Nvidia GeForce’ YouTube channel, initiating the release of RTX 5090 review unit unboxings across numerous tech-focused websites and related YouTube channels. The packaging is eco-friendly, simple in design, and can be easily reused as a decorative item by users with minimal effort.

As a follower, I am thrilled to share that this product’s packaging is uniquely crafted from paper fibers, eradicating plastic waste completely. What sets it apart is its inkless internal package, a groundbreaking feature for Nvidia’s Founder’s Edition GPUs. Moreover, it’s compact, roughly half the size of its predecessor’s packaging, making it a sustainable and space-efficient choice from the semiconductor giant.

What Does the RTX 5090 Founder’s Edition Offer?

The Nvidia RTX 5090 Founder’s Edition is likely to be scarce upon its release on January 31, 2025, since many users anticipate that entry-level versions will gain more attention. Similar to the RTX 4090 FE, the 5090 FE offers notable improvements in both design and cooling capabilities, catering to the higher power consumption of Nvidia’s premier GPU at present.

1. The 3D vapor chamber makes it more space-efficient by making better use of its larger vent openings.

2. The smaller PCB houses a larger die than its previous version due to the division of functions from older GPUs into three distinct components, with connectors linking from the PCB to both its PCI-E 5.0 x16 connector and its video output ports that have native DisplayPort 2.1 compatibility.

As a movie buff who appreciates both style and substance, I’d say this sleek, two-slot design is a game-changer. The Founder’s Edition of the RTX 5090 GPU fits perfectly in any Small Form Factor (SFF) PC or for those seeking a minimalist aesthetic for their gaming or productivity setup. It’s not just about power; it’s about having a visually pleasing component that complements my overall build.

Why Is The RTX 5090 A Massive Upgrade Over The RTX 4090?

The Nvidia RTX 5090 boasts an impressive 21760 CUDA cores, a significant increase from the 16384 cores found in the current RTX 4090. Moreover, it comes equipped with 32GB of GDDR7 memory, capable of reaching a peak bandwidth of 1792 GB/s, marking a notable improvement over the 1008 GB/s bandwidth and 24GB of GDDR6X memory offered by the RTX 4090. This upgrade underscores Nvidia’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of graphics processing technology.

The Nvidia RTX 5090 Founder’s Edition experiences a significant redesign in its packaging, accompanied by numerous refined enhancements inside.

This model features a higher Thermal Design Power (TDP) of 575W compared to 450W, and it boasts over twice as many Tensor Cores (3,352 versus 1,321). It seems that its intention is to maintain its competitive edge for the upcoming period.

Nevertheless, a significant portion of its improved performance can be attributed to its utilization of the exclusive DLSS 4 technology from Nvidia and multi-frame generation. This enables it to operate at a speed that is several times faster than other alternatives, even surpassing the top-tier RTX 4000 series from Nvidia.

As a movie-loving enthusiast, I’ve noticed an interesting twist with Nvidia’s latest offering – the RTX 5090. Unlike its predecessor, it boasts a larger die size, yet it’s housed on a smaller PCB. This intriguing juxtaposition could imply that the RTX 5090, even in its AIB (Add-in Board) variants, might be subject to more restricted boost clocks compared to the RTX 4000 series. It’s like they’ve given it a bigger role, but perhaps limited the scope of its performance peaks.

As preliminary listings for the forthcoming RTX 5000 series graphics cards (specifically, the RTX 5080 and RTX 5090) appear on retailers like Newegg, it’s anticipated that there will be a high level of demand from gamers, productivity users, and regrettably, resellers or scalpers who seek to acquire these items, frequently at significantly increased prices relative to the Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) when they become available in early 2025.
