Nvidia RTX 5090 by Inno3D leaked ahead of CES 2025

Although Nvidia is expected to unveil the RTX 50 series at CES 2025, that has not stopped a barrage of leaks from appearing online. The most recent one comes from Videocardz, which claims to have gotten hold of the render of a custom variant of the Nvidia RTX 5090 by Inno3D. The leaked render doesn't share anything new about the RTX 5090, but the box packaging does mention 32GB memory, at least according to the leaker.

This article analyzes the new RTX 5090 leak and explains what an average consumer can expect from this custom variant.

Inno3D GeForce RTX 5090 custom variant leaked online

Based on Videocardz's website, the RTX 5090 custom variant that was leaked today, January 5, 2025, is the Inno3D GeForce RTX 5090 iChill X3 model. Inno3D's iChill X3 custom cooling solution is not new. The company has used this design in previous products, but the cooler shroud reportedly has a new design this time, which looks quite different from last year's model.

According to the leaked render, the new iChill cooler design has some RGB effects and a 3.5-slot design, but nothing more than that. The 12V2x6 connector is also not visible in the render, so there's no way to confirm if it has one or two connectors. The 12V2x6 connector could supply up to 600W of power, and since the RTX 5090 reportedly has a TBP of 575W, one connector should be enough.

However, the box packaging render of this GPU that Videocardz acquired mentions 32GB of memory, which aligns with previous leaks. With that said, here's the list of early specs for the Nvidia RTX 5090 based on previous leaks:

Specifications	Details
Architecture	Blackwell
CUDA cores	170
Shader cores	21,760
RT cores	170
Memory capacity	32GB
Memory system	GDDR7
Memory bus width	512-bit
Thermal design power (TDPs)	575W

We should hear more about the Nvidia RTX 50 series, including the RTX 5090 and 5080, at the upcoming CES 2025 event.
