NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090: 16+6+7 Power Design and 14-Layer PCB

New details have emerged regarding the upcoming NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090, with rumors suggesting a 16+6+7 power stage design, a 14-layer PCB, and 32GB of GDDR7 memory. Power Design and TGP According to Benchlife, the RTX 5090 will adopt a 16+6+7 power stage design. For comparison, the RTX 4090 has a 20+3 phase design, and the RTX 3090 Ti has an 18+3 phase design. The card is expected to have a 600W Total Graphics Power (TGP). It's worth noting that TGP refers to the total power supplied to the graphics subsystem, while TDP (Thermal Design Power) is the maximum power it's allowed to draw, with leaks sometimes mixing these terms. The RTX 5090 will use a single 12V-2x6 power connector. Other Specifications Benchlife also mentions the following: Memory: 32GB GDDR7 PCB: 14-layer Interface: PCI Express 5.0 x16 The 14-layer PCB is expected on the reference board and potentially on the Founders Edition boards. The exposed PCB confirms that the RTX 50 series cards use the PCIe 5.0 specificatio…
