NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 5090 is rumored to feature a 16+6+7 power phase design and a 14-layer PCB configuration

More leaks surrounding NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 5090 GPU have surfaced online, revealing details about the PCB layout, particularly the power stage design and layer configuration.

NVIDIA’s next-generation flagship GPU is being “buffed up” with top-notch specs as more PCB details surface online

As we move closer to official launch details, it seems like NVIDIA’s flagship RTX 50 “Blackwell” GPU is becoming more and more familiar to us in terms of expected specs, considering the rumor mill is turning pretty quickly lately. Now, a report from Benchlife says that Team Green is planning to incorporate a 16+6+7 power phase design, which is a different configuration than the configuration we saw on the GeForce RTX 4090 (20+3).

Additionally, the GeForce RTX 5090 is now rumored to also feature a 14-layer PCB design, but this is model dependent, although in this case the reference model is likely to be discussed. Further details in the report confirm previous leaks about the GeForce RTX 5090. Based on the information available so far, NVIDIA’s next flagship GPU looks like this:

• Blackwell GB202-300
• 32GB GDDR7 memory
• 600W TDP
• 16+6+7 power phase design
• 1x 12V-2×6 (16-pin) connector
• PCIe 5.0 Express slot

You can check out our review of the GeForce RTX 5090, including expected performance and pricing, to get an idea of ​​how the model will perform. Just recently, we also got our first look at the GPU’s PCB design, where not only did the onboard silicon look more massive than ever, but the IHS was also strengthened to likely handle the GPU’s thermal performance. All in all, you can expect significant advances in gaming performance with the GeForce RTX 5090, as it will likely stand out as the only competitor in the high-end segment.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 will be the flagship GPU and will launch in either late January or early February. Stay tuned for more information on the next-gen lineup at CES 2025, which takes place in just a few weeks. Indeed, exciting times lie ahead.
