The first thing that’s notable about the RTX 5090 is the packaging design has totally changed since the Founders Edition RTX 40-series. Nvidia has switched to housing the RTX 5090 inside a smaller bone-shaped gray cardboard shell that sits inside a much larger brown cardboard box.

Nvidia’s RTX 5090 Founders Edition is a two-fan GPU that’s seriously hefty, though somehow smaller and more menacing than the RTX 4090.

The new NVIDIA Geforce RTX 5090 FE GPU features the same shape as its RTX 4090 FE predecessor but measures just half its width.

Nvidia’s RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 are set to release later this month, and there’s no doubt that they’ll end up being some of the of the year. Unfortunately, it also seems that they might be hard to come by,

Nvidia's upcoming RTX 50-series GPUs have some exclusive features, but Nvidia doesn't rule out the possibility of backporting them.
