Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090: Flagship GB202 GPU to feature 512-bit wide bus

[Redaktion]

Kopite7kimi has confirmed Nvidia's top-spec GB202 GPU will launch with a 512-bit wide bus. It will use a monolithic die and GDDR7 memory, potentially opening up possibilities for 32 GB of VRAM on the GeForce RTX 5090.

RTX 5090 will cost $3000 🤣

This doesn't necessarily mean the 5090, the same chip will be used in other segments

This is all a poultice for the dead. With such huge consumption and extremely slow RAM of x86 processors. The width of the infamous x86 memory controllers has not changed for almost 20 years! It's still 128 bit!

Until the throughput of x86 processors increases in mass cases to 200-300GB/s, video cards will experience starvation, as will cpu cores.

By the way, despite the advanced technical process from TSMC, NVidia has fewer and fewer opportunities to increase the performance of its chips without increasing (or reducing) consumption. And the consumption is already monstrous. Due to the fact that the efficiency of new technical processes quickly drops in performance per 1W. And if there is no significant increase in this performance per 1W, buyers will stop buying video cards in future...

Another shame for NVidia is that it still doesn't have Display Port 2.0+/UHBR20 output ports. Despite the fact that the standard was released in 2019, almost 5 years ago. This is the biggest shame for the IT industry that I have seen.

Due to the lack of DP2.0+/UHBR20 ports, manufacturers do not produce 8k monitors, because there is simply nothing to connect them to in mass use. Despite the fact that they have been making 8k panels for more than 10 years!

Namely, the first 8k monitors will finally give crystal-sharp fonts and graphics (in 2D) on diagonals 27-32" - 250ppi+. And at the same time, 8k resolution is fully compatible in hardware with 4k and fhd resolution. This means that you can work at 8k@60Hz (DP2 .0+/UHBR20 does not support more than 60Hz, especially in 30-36 bit color 4:4:4 without DSC lossy compression) but play in 4k/2.5k/fhd. At the same time, the picture in 4k/fhd will be perfectly sharp on pixel level, because 8k is completely divided into 4k and fhd.

We've been waiting for mass-produced 8K IPS monitors for 15 long years...
Apparently we will no longer wait for microLED matrices without flicker, without low-frequency PWM, without glare from a glossy surface, and with a resource of at least 30k hours before burnout with a drop in brightness of up to 50% and stable color rendition.

Who is "we", definitely not me, 4k is pretty good at 32 inch, try that first, its good enough not to need more or bearing the weight of gaming with four times 4k graphics. Also IPS sucks, try QDOLED, its smoking hot, and please ignore burn in, I've been gaming for 4 years while working from home on the same CX oled display, so around 16 hours a day without any burn in.

NO! not an overkill for the consumers! our monitor techs are outpacing our GPU. we have 4k monitor exceeding 60 hz while even the best GPU (4090) can barely 60 fps native resolution witb ray tracing and ray pathing on. keep working on improving the GPUs. catch up to our monitor output techs

32" <140ppi. fhd 15.6" > 141 ppi. Your 32" is suck.

Also IPS sucks, try QDOLED

Sucks. Bad contrast on light enviroment. Fast burn in (+unstable colors) - small resource (IPS/VA backlit resource about 40k+ hours for monitors, even old CCFL - 40k+). Low frequency PWM bad for eyes. And this is glossy.

8k - first ideal IPS/VA monitors with native constrast 2000:1+.
