NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 & RTX 5080 Rumored For Completion This Month, 550W & 350W TGP

The latest information on NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 5090 & RTX 5080 GPUs suggests that the designs will be finalized this month.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 & RTX 5080 To Feature "D" Variants For China, Designs Being Finalized This Month With Higher TGPs

Yesterday, it was reported that NVIDIA's next-gen GeForce RTX 50 "Blackwell" GPUs could feature power ratings as high as 600W, and there has also been speculation regarding a potential delay. However, Benchlife has different information, and according to them, the designs will be finalized this month.

The tech outlet reports that the GeForce RTX 5090 and GeForce RTX 5080 are planned for official design spec finalization in September. In addition to that, it is also reported that NVIDIA will prepare "D" variants for both cards, the GeForce RTX 5090D and GeForce RTX 5080D.

Previously, NVIDIA only released the RTX 4090D as a China-exclusive variant which complied with export regulations. This time, both cards getting the "D" treatment means that there is going to be a significant performance bump over the previous generation.

On the power consumption side, it is reported that the TGPs of the GeForce RTX 5090 & RTX 5080 are rated at 550W and 350W, respectively. The previous 600W and 400W figures seem to align with the maximum heat dissipation figure of the new coolers featured on this card.

• RTX 5090 -> 550W (RTX 4090 @ 450W) = +22% Increase
• RTX 5080 -> 350W (RTX 4080 @ 320W) = +9.3% Increase

If that's the case, then the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 would have a 100W higher TGP than the RTX 4090 while the RTX 5080 will have a 30W higher TGP than the RTX 4080. That seems a bit more reasonable than the numbers reported earlier but still, the TGP shouldn't reflect the actual power consumption of these cards which should be lower in actual gaming scenarios and only reach the TGP limits in certain applications.
