Forum user Chiphell, who published the first photo of the printed circuit board of the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 video card the day before, has now revealed what the GPU itself of the upcoming flagship will look like. The chip is depicted surrounded by new generation GDDR7 memory chips.

The flagship Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 video card, expected to be announced at CES 2025, will receive a GB202 graphics processor from the Blackwell family. The GB202-300 variant used here contains 21,760 CUDA cores. The chip has a fairly massive package measuring 63 × 56 mm, the dimensions of the crystal itself are 24 × 21 mm, and the area of the crystal area is 744 mm².
The photo also includes GDDR7 memory chips from Samsung, although their markings are difficult to make out. The volume of each module is 2 GB; the memory is expected to operate at 28 GB/s. There are 16 chips around the GPU, which means the video card will offer 32 GB of memory – a unique configuration for gaming video cards from the Blackwell family.
The announcement of the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 and RTX 5090 is expected in January, with the older model expected to appear later. But samples are already with video card manufacturers, and the chip is marked Nvidia. The only missing detail is the production date.
