The Nvidia GeForce RTX 50-series graphics cards are anticipated to launch next year. Recently, the RTX 5090, a premium desktop graphics card, was reportedly spotted in a factory during its early testing phase.
Factory Footage Emerges
A video has surfaced from a newly built factory in Indonesia. For those who may not know, U.S. chip export regulations block the sale of high-performance graphics cards to mainland China, especially models that can compete with or surpass the RTX 4090. This has led manufacturers to establish operations in Indonesia to guarantee the RTX 5090 is available for the Chinese market.
Video Details
The leaked footage appeared on BiliBili, a popular Chinese video-sharing site. The video’s description explicitly mentions that the graphics card featured is the RTX 5090. It captures the first unit rolling off the assembly line being tested for any potential problems. Additionally, it highlights workers celebrating after the RTX 5090 successfully boots up.
Card Specifications
As per VideoCardz, the graphics card in the video comes from Zotac. Notably, it is shown to be powered by a single cable, putting to rest prior speculations about the need for dual 16-pin cables to operate the card.
Rumors have indicated that the RTX 5090 will come with 32 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 512-bit bus. It is expected to make its official appearance at CES 2025, which is scheduled for January.
