Even though Nvidia’s upcoming flagship graphics card — the RTX 5090 — hasn’t received official pricing and specs as of now, let alone a proper release date, it already has a component that’s compatible with it.
Cooler Master’s X Silent Edge Platinum 850 fanless power supply is currently listed on Amazon for $488 (around £385 / AU$750) and is naturally compatible with the RTX 4090. However, what’s surprising is that in the listing it’s stated to be compatible with the RTX 5090, which is quite a tall order considering how nothing is confirmed spec-wise.
The RTX 5090 is more than worthy of this power supply
But what makes the Nvidia RTX 5090 seem like an absolute monster of a graphics card (and possibly one of the best graphics cards once it launches)? From what we know so far, it’s based on Nvidia's Blackwell architecture, which may use a multi-chipset module design.
It’s also rumored that the 5090 will feature a 448-bit memory bus and 28Gbps GDDR7 memory modules that would be 33% faster than the 21Gbps memory modules in the RTX 4090. There’s more speculation that the next-gen flagship card will sport 28GB of VRAM, a boost clock speed of 2.9GHz, 24,576 CUDA cores, 128MB of L2 cache memory, and a memory bandwidth of 1,532 GB/s.
What’s even more interesting is that the RTX 5090 might not be the strongest card of the upcoming generation. Another rumor hints at the revival of the RTX Titan as an AI graphics card. According to said rumor, RTX Titan AI for Blackwell will be 63% faster than the current flagship GPU, the RTX 4090.
