Nvidia’s upcoming RTX 5090 and 5080 GPUs are generating buzz ahead of their anticipated unveiling at CES 2025. Recent leaks suggest that the RTX 5090 might require 575W of power, a slight decline from previous rumors, while the RTX 5080 could potentially consume 360W, slightly more than initially speculated. Speculation also surrounds the physical size of these GPUs, with the RTX 5090 possibly not maintaining a slim two-slot design as previously rumored. The RTX 5080’s higher power demand could pose challenges for users with lower wattage power supplies. Despite the high power consumption, these GPUs are expected to target professional applications over gaming. With competitors like AMD gearing up for RDNA 4 launches, the landscape for high-performance graphics cards is poised for exciting developments. Stay tuned for Nvidia’s official reveal on January 6th for more insights into these power-hungry graphics cards and potential advancements in the gaming industry.
