NVIDIA RTX 5090 "Blackwell" Founders Edition to Implement the "RTX 4090 Ti" Cinderblock Design
NVIDIA's upcoming GeForce RTX 5090 Founders Edition graphics card may implement a design closely resembling the cinder block product design the company readied for its RTX 4090 Ti graphics card that never materialized into a marketable product. This sees a 4-slot thick board design, with a slender main logic PCB arranged along the plane of the motherboard, on top of which the cooling solution is mounted perpendicular to the plane, as shown in the images below. This main logic board contains the GPU, memory, and VRM. There two additional PCBs—one has the display I/O, and the other has the PCIe interface. There is a fourth disaggregated component, the 12V-2x6 receptacle, located somewhere along the top of the cooling solution.
Confirmation of NVIDIA using the RTX 4090 Ti "cinder block" board design for the RTX 5090 comes from kopite7kimi, a reliable source with NVIDIA leaks. Kopite7kimi mentions a card that has a "Main Board, IO Rigid Board and a separate PCIE slot component (perhaps it should not be considered as the third PCB)," which perfectly describes with the RTX 4090 Ti. NVIDIA had completed the design phase of this card, which made it to its cooling solution OEM (which is likely where the images leaked out from). The company probably decided against launching this product because the AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX fell significantly short of the performance proposition of the RTX 4090.

Prometheus can only be assuaged with fins and air for so long.
Just looking at the 3rd & 4th pictures gave me a backache.
Maybe rumors of a 512bit bus monstrosity are true.
Holy crap !
No idea what chassis would handle that monster and what kind of lever you will have to use to keep it unbent.
4 elephants = 1 GPU
So where's the "leak"? :laugh:
The video is a bit old by now, but still a classic.
For 2k+ you'll get a beast of a gpu and a free campfire.
Why'd you not want that.HAF 700 EVO maybe or Enthoo Pro 2 Server
Come to think of it. It also points to what the power consumption might be more or less. It wont be little that's for sure.
any way..... its very scary, that rtx 5090 series could be so BIG like that..... its freaking me out..... but, i hope rtx 5080 series will be more slim, also not as hungry power than rtx 5090.
Purple - power rails
Orange - 4 hdmi/displayport
Green - Pcb
Red - 90° angled PCIE connector?
