Acer might have simply inadvertently revealed the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 VRAM specs, together with the reminiscence allocation of the RTX 5080, forward of the launch of those GPUs at CES 2025. These essential specs had been found listed on the launch knowledge sheets for 2 new Acer Predator Orion 7000 gaming PCs which are additionally set to be launched on the world’s largest tech commerce present subsequent month.

On high of the RTX 50-series GPUs, Acer can also be equipping them with an Intel Core Extremely 7 265KF, for sequence multi-core CPU energy.
That is the primary time any actual affirmation has come from an Nvidia companion in regards to the VRAM scenario in each the RTX 5080 and 5090. Whereas Zotac did affirm their existence in a earlier RTX 5000 sequence leak, solely rumors have offered the data to this point.
The brand new PCs had been discovered on Acer’s web site by VideoCardz, and have proven simply how large of a spot there may be between Nvidia’s next-generation flagship and another GPU. Most shopper graphics playing cards are presently utilizing between 8GB and 16GB of VRAM, however the RTX 5090 appears to be like set to pack 32GB.
Notably, an allocation of 8GB of VRAM or much less has come beneath fireplace just lately as being antiquated or too little for contemporary video games.
