Circuit Board (PCB) Analysis

GPU Voltage, VRM Configuration
GPU Chip Voltage Controller

A 9-phase VRM powers the GPU, highlighted in the red rectangles above. These are controlled by a Monolithic Power Systems MP29816 controller.


All GPU power phases use Monolithic MPS MP87993 DrMOS. These are new, we don't know their current rating. The "9" could suggest 90 A.

Memory Voltage, VRM Configuration

Powering the six GDDR7 memory chips is a 3-phase VRM driven by the same Monolithic MP29816 controller as the GPU VRM.


Just like GPU, the memory is handled by Monolithic MP87993 DrMOS chips.

Graphics Card Memory Chips

The GDDR7 memory chips are made by Samsung, and bear the model number K4VAF325ZC-SC28, they are rated for 28 Gbps.

Graphics Chip GPU

The NVIDIA GB205 GPU at the heart of the GeForce RTX 5070 is much smaller than the chip used on the RTX 5080 and RTX 5090. It is fabricated using a 5 nanometer "NVIDIA 4N" process at TSMC Taiwan (same process as Ada). The die measures 263 mm², and comes with a transistor count of 31.1 billion.
