The new NVIDIA Geforce RTX 5090 FE GPU features the same shape as its RTX 4090 FE predecessor but measures just half its width.

The first thing that’s notable about the RTX 5090 is the packaging design has totally changed since the Founders Edition RTX 40-series. Nvidia has switched to housing the RTX 5090 inside a smaller bone-shaped gray cardboard shell that sits inside a much larger brown cardboard box.

Not only does the VRAM jump up from 24GB to 32GB in the RTX 5090, but it gets a lot faster too with GDDR7 memory. You’re getting both more of it and a faster speed at 32 Gbps.

Nvidia's upcoming RTX 50-series GPUs have some exclusive features, but Nvidia doesn't rule out the possibility of backporting them.
