WHAT IT BRINGS

The useful part.

32 GB of dedicated video memory and hardware AV1 encoding are useful capabilities to check against your creative software's requirements; they are not a promise of a particular frame rate or export time.

BEFORE YOU CHOOSE

The checks that matter.

The 575 W board specification comes with a 1000 W minimum system-PSU requirement and specific 16-pin cabling instructions. Two-slot construction does not remove the need for fan and cable clearance.

NOTHING HIDDEN IN THE SMALL PRINT

Every specification.
With its source.

Our publishing standard
GPU and board model
GeForce RTX 5090 — NVIDIA Founders Edition
Conditions & context

Manufacturer specification · NVIDIA's own board, MPN NVGFT590. Not an RTX 5090 laptop GPU, RTX 5090 D, or another manufacturer's custom board.

VRAM capacity and type
32 GB GDDR7
Conditions & context

Manufacturer specification · Dedicated video memory; capacity alone does not predict game frame rates or application performance.

Length, height and slot width
304 mm long × 137 mm wide; two-slot board
Conditions & context

Manufacturer specification · The specification table calls the second dimension width. Two-slot describes the board, not the complete installation envelope. See the separate clearance requirement and allow for power cables.

Board power
575 W Total Graphics Power (TGP)
Conditions & context

Manufacturer specification · NVIDIA's board-power specification, not measured wall power, typical gaming consumption or a recommended PSU rating.

Power connectors
One 16-pin PCIe Gen 5 input
Conditions & context

Manufacturer specification · The RTX 5090 r2 manual requires four independent dedicated PCIe 8-pin PSU cables to the included NVIDIA adapter, or one 600 W-or-greater PCIe Gen 5 16-pin cable. Seat the plug fully and flush. The webpage's lower 3-cable / 450 W advice conflicts with the manual and is not used.

Display outputs and versions
3 × DisplayPort 2.1b (UHBR20); 1 × HDMI 2.1b
Conditions & context

Manufacturer specification · Current NVIDIA specification and footnotes. Highest advertised modes require DSC and compatible displays/cables; connector version alone is not a guarantee of a particular monitor mode.

GPU architecture
Blackwell
Conditions & context

Manufacturer specification

CUDA cores
21760
Conditions & context

Manufacturer specification · Architecture-specific execution-unit count; not directly comparable to AMD stream processors or Intel Xe cores and not a benchmark.

Base clock
2.01 GHz
Conditions & context

Manufacturer specification · Manufacturer rounded specification; not the unverified import's 2017 MHz value.

Boost clock
2.41 GHz
Conditions & context

Manufacturer specification · NVIDIA applies clock specifications to gaming at medium-to-full GPU utilisation. Not a guaranteed sustained clock in every workload.

Memory bus width
512 bit
Conditions & context

Manufacturer specification · Interface width, not memory bandwidth or a stand-alone performance score.

Host interface
PCI Express Gen 5; installs in a PCIe x16 graphics slot
Conditions & context

Manufacturer specification · Follow the motherboard and graphics-card manuals for the appropriate slot and system compatibility.

Minimum system PSU rating
1000 W
Conditions & context

Manufacturer specification · Minimum in the RTX 5090 r2 manual and full specification table. NVIDIA bases its table on a Ryzen 9 9950X system and recommends a PCIe CEM 5.1-compliant PSU; requirements vary by system. The same webpage's lower preparation section says 850 W, which conflicts with both sources and is not adopted.

Manufacturer installation clearance
Guide: reserve 304 × 137 × 61 mm; allow additional fan and cable space
Conditions & context

Manufacturer specification · The r2 guide labels these as clearance dimensions and recommends an additional slot in front of the fans. Its 61 mm figure must not be represented as the physical thickness of the two-slot board. The webpage separately calls for 36 mm of power-cable space. Confirm your case and PSU cable instructions; this is not an automatic fit guarantee.

Hardware video encoders
Three ninth-generation NVENC engines
Conditions & context

Manufacturer specification · Hardware provision; codec, application and driver support determine which capabilities can be used.

Hardware video decoders
Two sixth-generation NVDEC engines
Conditions & context

Manufacturer specification

AV1 support
Hardware encode and decode support
Conditions & context

Manufacturer specification · Requires compatible software and drivers; no encoding-speed measurement is claimed.

Connected displays
Up to four displays
Conditions & context

Manufacturer specification · NVIDIA lists four independent 4K 165 Hz displays, or two at 4K 360 Hz / 8K 100 Hz with DSC. Other combinations depend on available bandwidth, cables and displays.

Video memory capacity
32 GB
Conditions & context

Manufacturer specification · Dedicated VRAM capacity. Memory generation and GPU architecture differ; capacity alone does not predict frame rates.

Card length
304 mm
Conditions & context

Manufacturer specification · Physical card length, excluding extra fan, connector and cable clearance. Read the complete dimensions and installation notes before choosing a case.

Declared board power
575 W
Conditions & context

Manufacturer specification · NVIDIA's 575 W Total Graphics Power specification; not measured gaming or wall power and not the system-PSU recommendation.
