The RTX 5090 uses Nvidia's biggest die since the RTX 2080 Ti (www.techspot.com)

Highly anticipated: As the unveiling of consumer Blackwells draws near, clear images of Nvidia's next-generation graphics cards are beginning to materialize. The new lineup's flagship product will undoubtedly set new performance benchmarks, but the latest information suggests that it will also use one of the biggest chips in Nvidia's history.

Trusted leaker "MEGAsizeGPU" recently claimed that Nvidia's upcoming GB202 graphics processor, which will power the GeForce RTX 5090, uses a 24mm x 31mm die. If the report is accurate, it might support earlier rumors claiming the graphics card will retail for nearly $2,000.

A 744mm² die would make the GB202 22 percent larger than the RTX 4090's 619mm² AD102 GPU. It would also be the company's largest die since the TU102, which measured 754mm² and served as the core of the RTX 2080 Ti, released in 2018.

This is crazy. My 980 ti was expensive considering it sold at $649. The 3090 was $1,499 and the 4090 $1,599 (MSRP).

People continue to buy it, so they will continue selling it. On top of that, gaming isn't even their biggest market, so we stopped, it wouldn't put a dent into their business.

It's a big shame though

I think Nvidia is poisoning the well with the $2000 rumours so that they're the heroes when it releases at ~$1750

[–] donuts@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Not an uncommon strategy, I can see this happening for sure

It is no coincidence that the 980 ti was the last top end GPU I purchased from Nvidia. Their greed is out of control and I can't believe a meaningful number of people have gone along with it.

I'm still rocking my 2080 ti and i think i paid just over 1k for it. I won't be buying nvidia again anyway but the prices just put me off so much

I'm still rocking my 1080ti and I paid $140 CAD when the 20 series dropped.

[–] Bakkoda@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yeah we have a 1060 3gb in the kids computer chugging along.

[–] SturgiesYrFase@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago

They're still perfectly functional. As long as you're happy not having ray tracing, and are willing to settle for not running everything on max gfx, there's no reason to buy a 50, 40 or 30 series. I'm able to play most new games that interest me on medium gfx with no issues.

You're competing with tech companies who want to build GPU data centers now.
