Nvidia’s highly anticipated GeForce RTX 5090 is making waves in the gaming community with a leaked base clock speed that promises to deliver exceptional performance. The new GPU is reported to have a base clock speed of 2.9GHz, a significant 600MHz increase over its predecessor, the RTX 4090. This boost in clock speed hints at a major leap in gaming capabilities and overall performance.
The leak comes from a reputable source on the Chiphell forum, adding credibility to the information provided. Forum user Panzerlied, known for accurate tech leaks in the past, revealed that the base frequency of the RTX 5090 is set to exceed expectations at nearly 2.9GHz. This speed surpasses any other GPU currently on the market, including AMD’s fastest-clocked GPU, the RX 7600 XT.
With an expected increase in streaming multiprocessors (SMs) from 126 to 192, the RTX 5090 is shaping up to be a powerhouse in the world of gaming GPUs. By using the same Blackwell GB202 GPU featured in Nvidia’s top-tier AI server chips, the RTX 5090 promises groundbreaking performance levels and efficiency.
Gamers can anticipate not only a high base clock speed but also the potential for even higher boost clock speeds. Given that the RTX 4090 can reach 2,580MHz, the RTX 5090 might push boundaries with a boost clock of up to 3,245MHz, providing an impressive level of performance and speed for gaming enthusiasts.
While the specifics of the RTX 5090’s gaming performance, power efficiency, and overall value are yet to be determined, the leaked information gives a promising glimpse into what Nvidia’s next-generation GPU has in store for gamers. With support for Nvidia’s latest frame rate and image quality-boosting software tech, including DLSS, the RTX 5090 is poised to redefine the gaming experience for users worldwide.
