The power supply calculator for PC units from the manufacturer Seasonic has suddenly become very interesting. The online tool has received options for calculating NVIDIA RTX 5090 and other new graphics cards.
The updated data includes the TDP of future gaming cards on the Blackwell architecture from RTX 5090 to RTX 5050. Of course, these values may be approximate, but against the backdrop of a lack of information, the data from a major components manufacturer is interesting.
For clarity, the TDP of RTX 50xx from the Seasonic power tool has been combined in a table with representatives of the current RTX 40xx family. The largest increase in TDP was found in the graphic adapters RTX 5060. In the best case scenario, this means that NVIDIA has taken into account complaints about the large performance and price gap between RTX 4070 and 4060 and prepared more powerful RTX 5060, probably with 12 GB VRAM.
The deployment of consumer video cards from NVIDIA with Blackwell architecture is expected approximately in October, starting with high-end cards RTX 5090 and RTX 5080. The average RTX 5070 should appear in January 2025, and the main "workhorse" for gaming RTX 5060 - in the third or fourth quarter.
The Seasonic power supply calculator has also been updated with processors Ryzen 9000, particularly Ryzen 9 9950X, 9900X, Ryzen 7 9700X, and Ryzen 5 9600X. However, we already have specifications and prices for these Zen 5 processors from AMD. However, the characteristics of these chips are mostly already known. The processors should appear by the end of this month. Also, for some reason, Seasonic added AMD Radeon RX 7990 XTX and RX 7500 XT graphics cards. They have not been released and are unlikely to be released until the launch of AMD RDNA 4 graphics processors.
What else is known about NVIDIA RTX 5090
There is no official information yet, but leaks provide a comprehensive overview of the RTX 5090. It was recently announced that the RTX 5090 will receive a 448-bit memory bus (384 on the 4090) and a graphics processor frequency 600 MHz higher than its predecessor - according to an insider, the base frequency will be "almost 2.9 GHz". The video card will feature the GB202 Blackwell processor with almost 192 streaming multiprocessors (128 on the 4090), which will result in over 24,000 cores in total (16384 on the 4090). It also mentions the 28 GB GDDR7 memory at 28 Gbps (24 GB GDDR6X at 21 Gbps in the predecessor) with a bandwidth of 1568 GB/s (1008 GB/s, respectively).
