First look at the real NVIDIA RTX 5090

The video showcases the NVIDIA RTX 5090 on a testing stand. The graphics card is being evaluated during production.

A clip from the Chinese platform Bilibili illustrates the testing of NVIDIA RTX 5090 graphics cards at a factory located in Indonesia. The footage is dated October 16. It is noted that the factory's location assists China in navigating around sanctions.

“Due to the chip export controls imposed by the U.S. on China, exporting graphics chips with performance levels of the 4090 or higher to mainland China is prohibited. To mitigate the impact of this move on the RTX 5090's debut, Bo Neng rapidly established a factory in Batam, Indonesia. The video showcases the calibration of the factory’s production line, and the graphics card displayed on the monitor is the upcoming NVIDIA RTX 5090.”

One of the first graphics cards off the assembly line is connected to the test stand. These systems conduct automated checks for errors, artifacts, and temperature regulation. In the video, workers celebrate after a successful test.

The quality of the video does not clearly reveal details of the NVIDIA RTX 5090. It appears that the card is quite large and features three fans within a gray protective casing. The graphics card connects to power with a single cable, debunking rumors of needing multiple connections. Commentators speculate that this could be the RTX 5090 from Zotac.

Unconfirmed reports suggest that the NVIDIA RTX 5090, along with possibly other graphics cards, will be unveiled at CES 2025 from January 7-10 in Las Vegas. January has been confirmed as a possible launch window by one power supply manufacturer.
