Glimpse of NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50 Series "Blackwell" Founders Edition GPU Appears

[AleksandarK]

NVIDIA uploaded a new video on its GeForce YouTube channel called "GeForce LAN 50 Missions and Rewards" that not only features the objective of its upcoming LAN party but also a teaser of one of the GeForce RTX 50 series "Blackwell" GPUs. Pictured below, NVIDIA purposely left it extremely dark to hide as much information as possible. However, we uncovered what was hiding in the dark PC enclosure thanks to some image processing. From the picture alone, we cannot determine what possible SKU this would represent. Potential candidates include the GeForce RTX 5090 or 5080, which are rumored to appear first at the CES launch event, with NVIDIA's CEO Jensen Huang taking the stage and unveiling details about the new GPU generation.

In regards to the design itself, the GPU features a two-fan configuration, meaning that the founder's edition has undergone a redesign from the traditional push/pull cooler design. If this is only a render, time will tell. However, we look forward to seeing more leaks, details, and hints just like NVIDIA left.

I want my 5090!

I was pretty happy with the founders edition cooler on the 4090. Managed to keep temps reasonable in a very compact package (compared to aftermarket coolers). Hopefully the version that comes with the 5090 can keep up.

Of course, this is a visualization that has little to do with reality. The star of the show has to be that power connector, which looks like the one on the 3080 Ti FE. Bending the cable more than 45 degrees causes stress.

Well well well; *Ahem* That damn Leather Jacket man at nGreedia, how dare he give us such little VRAM, this while asking us so much, it's too expensive, it sucks too much power and I am scared my power connector will melt. :O

But seriously, doesn't that mean we need to see some shakeup at this point? :/
