Two years have passed since Nvidia has abandoned a GEFORCE badge graphics card, and her “XX90” elegance models take all eye balloons when they make their debut. Today, the highly anticipated GeForce RTX 5090 made a front giant to PC laboratories. Naturally, we may not be tearing the packaging when it landed. (Note: RTX 5090 and his brother 5080, the first two cards in the RTX 50 series to deploy, will not reach the store shelves before January 30).
Ready to make Geek? We are going to immerse ourselves in the sublime design of RTX 5090 and let’s look at the new Nvidia edition in the packaging, yes, the box. For once, the “box” in a unpacking can be almost as attractive as the content.
The RTX 5090 is full of fabrics involved with the enclosure, incorporating them into the packaging design in a way. Keep in mind that the outer box is in the indescribable brown cardboard.
Foxconn production labels and internal identifiers point to the box.
To enter inside, you want to enter one of the two traction tabs and peel a safety band on 3 sides of the boxarray.
The long edge a slogan “inspired through the players. It improved through AI. Built through Nvidia” under the tears gang.
This slogan is also a clue to know where to raise. The box on the front, like that time.
When you open it, you can see an internal operator for the card itself, in addition to some additional tips. (Take into account the arrows).
To remove the card transporter, you open the two “wings” of the box in the appearance to give you an area to master the narrow ends.
Once you paint the card bearer for free, you will see a box of accessories also included, in a carrier niche.
We will do it and we put it separate at the time of the hour.
Let’s look at the card bearer. The box itself is basically in corrugated cardboard with a hard table in the most sensible and backsidear rhythm.
The most sensible lid layer of the lid has a GeForce RTX 5090. NVIDIA wishes to emphasize that it is not ink in this boxing component.
In theory, you can use the box as a demonstration once you have installed your GPU.
To enter the internal bearer, you will have to slide two “supports” of hard panels to release the two halves. It is an intelligent design, and in particular, there is no plastic involved.
When lifting the cover, there is the time card.
The weight of the card is deep, with a fresh design and all the steel that is machined in the same quality of the same quality as the elite of the Funders edit cards. The chassis of the Funders GeForce RTX 5090 edition measures precisely 12 inches (304 mm) long, 5. 3 inches (137 mm) and has a width of two slots (40 mm). Note: This is the Nvidia Founders edition of 5090, and have a tendency to cut that most. Other RTX 5090 models will differ in size, and many, as we have noticed in those 2025, will be much larger.
The design of the edition of the Founders makes it compatible with many instances of small formal thing (SFF), for users with compact versions. This meets the NVIDIA initiative announced through SFF announced last year in Computex.
The card cooling solution includes what Nvidia calls a “double flow” design, with two enthusiasts pushing the air through the GPU. This is what we have noticed on the previous edition cards of the founders. But the disposition and disposition of genuine PCBs under the steel housing have been reworked, according to Nvidia.
The disposition of the PCB in several portions separates the key factors in other physical cards on the card. A central PCB houses the GPU, reminiscence and the source subsystem, while the PCI Express connector (a PCIE 5. 0 connection, NVIDIA notes) and the E / O -PORT block are found in separate forums connected through a card Flexible upper speed signaling and internal cables. This modular technique aims at air flow and thermal efficiency, as well as (theoretically) facilitate repairs.
Nvidia describes internal cooling as a “unified 3-D steam chamber”, the room design allows heating vapor to be directly on the internal tapas of the card for dissipation. Then the heat is directed up and towards the upward slots on the edges of the card to reduce the recirculation of the heating air. The mixture of fins directly and curves in the thermal dissipator is designed to facilitate the passage of this air.
As for the I / O panel, you can see the same old table of 3 display and an HDMI. In this case, they are Displayport 2. 1b (ING UHBR20) and HDMI 2. 1B. These ports are the most recent upper resolution rate screens.
Now here there is an attractive detail: the card source connector is located in a niche at an approximate angle of forty -five degrees on the upper edge.
We like it; There is no right and is precarious and fragile, as in the previous implementations in the cards of the founders edition. (Hopefully the cable obtains a criminal of the card frame in this provision). It also means more 12 VHPWR cable cables opposed to the appearance or glass panel, which is not attractive to look and painful from the point of view of the point of view from the point of view from the point of view from the point of view from the point of view from the point of view from the point of view from the point of view from the point of view from the folding point the cable.
Speaking of this, what is in the box?
A small brochure and a converter cable. The adapter goes from the 12 VHPWR connector on the card with 4 PCI Express Force connectors with 8 -Pin Your Psuararay.
These 4 connectors reflect the requests of the superior force of this GPU. (Nvidia suggests a strength supply of 1,000 watts of force; you will want anything to be, even to win 4 8 -pin tracks first). We will have to say: at least at first glance, this adapter is a wonderful improvement compared to the actions provided with the RTX 40 series and the publication cards of the previous founders. The cables are lighter, and they feel very comfortable and flexible, that surround them and melt in many decrease curves.
The design also puts much less voltage on the 12 VHPWR connector at the end of the card. (We know how bad these cables have become past past implementations).
As in the past, it implies, the RTX 5090 is based on the “Blackwell” architecture of Nvidia, which offers a multitude of performance progress, remedy capabilities and remedy efficiency of AI. It includes 92 billion transistors and 21,760 CUDA cores, complemented through fifth generation and fourth -generation tracked nuclei (RT). These specifications imply a significant step ahead of the calculation capacity.
The GPU includes 32 GB of GDDR7 memory, evaluated through NVIDIA for 1. 8 TB consistent with the bandwidth moment, a giant construction compared to its predecessor RTX 4090. In fact, between the promoted specifications and the genuine capabilities seeks Connected to the expanded expanded through the company a few weeks ago, those 2025, the edition of the founders of Geforce RTX 5090 turns out to be an innovation package.
DLSS Four management and everyone else recommends a card that adjusts the situation. But its functionality and genuine price will be revealed in the check bank. (We can expect engineering corresponding to the reflected packaging and design.
