Nvidia has gone tremendous granular with its newest data dump of the upcoming RTX 50-series graphics playing cards. The AI firm’s Blackwell chips have had their die sizes revealed, and whereas we already knew the RTX 5090 die dimension was large, we now know simply how colossal is that this new chip.

Regardless of this step up in chip dimension, although, one of the crucial exceptional options of Nvidia‘s personal RTX 5090 FE card is that its PCB and cooler are extremely small, making the long run greatest graphics card king the smallest in three generations.

GB202 is the interior title for the RTX 5090’s GPU, and it is available in at a dimension of 750mm². The final time Nvidia had a die this large was again below its Turing structure in 2018. The TU102, which got here to market because the RTX 2080 Ti graphics card, got here in at 754mm². Outdoors of that chip, although, it has by no means had a bigger client gaming GPU.

Nonetheless, the remainder of the RTX 5000 collection lineup tells a distinct story. Taking place the stack, the GB203 (RTX 5080 and 5070 Ti) is available in only a hair smaller than its earlier era counterpart. It’s measured at 378mm² versus the 379mm² GPU of used within the RTX 4080, 4080 Tremendous, and 4070 Ti Tremendous.

Nvidia has put the RTX 5090’s guts on a “high-density PCB”. Basically this packs all of the core items of the flagship GPU into a decent package deal and permits Nvidia to construct a smaller housing for the cardboard.

Few earlier generations haven’t been match into these small, desk-friendly circumstances earlier than, with Nvidia’s personal RTX 4090 not dwelling as much as its personal SFF-Prepared program’s necessities. On-line, there are many examples of RTX 4090s being crammed inside such circumstances, however not with out some additional effort. That is Nvidia’s first actual try to cater to that viewers with such a high-end card.
