Nvidia’s RTX 5090 has leaked today in the form of a marketing image of the unannounced next-gen GPU. VideoCardz has obtained a box shot of the RTX 5090, which suggests that the rumors of 32GB of GDDR7 memory are true.

While the packaging of the unannounced Inno3D RTX 5090 iChill X3 doesn’t reveal more specs about Nvidia’s flagship next-gen GPU, it does suggest that this particular model will ship with a 3.5-slot cooler.

The RTX 5090 is expected to have double the VRAM of the RTX 5080, which is rumored to include 16GB of GDDR7 memory. It’s also rumored to include 21,760 CUDA cores, nearly 1.8TB/s of memory bandwidth, and a TDP of 575 watts — 125 watts more than the RTX 4090.

We shouldn’t have long to wait until details about the RTX 50-series of GPUs are official. Nvidia is hosting a CES keynote tomorrow night, where the GPU maker is widely expected to announce its RTX 5090, RTX 5080, RTX 5070 Ti, RTX 5070, and even an RTX 5090D model for China. Rumors suggest the RTX 5080 could debut first on January 21st, followed by Nvidia’s other RTX 50-series cards.
