Murmurs about a high-end Nvidia GPU launching in late 2026 started emerging a few weeks ago,<\/a> shortly after another report stated the exact opposite<\/a>. It is said to be a more powerful version of the RTX 5090\u2014an RTX 5090 Ti, even. Moore\u2019s Law is Dead<\/a> has now learned new information about the mystery new GPU. The graphics card has been in testing since mid-2025. <\/p>\n

Tom\u2019s source says the Blackwell Titan has 5% more CUDA cores than the RTX 5090<\/a>. That would put it at 22,848 CUDA cores, effectively confirming that the graphics card still does not use a full AD202 die with 24,064 cores. As expected, it guzzles a lot of power, with some unlocked prototypes consuming well over 1,000 Watts. However, the 700-750 Watts range is what it will operate at under normal conditions. As a result, the card requires a lot of cooling and needs to be held with both hands. <\/p>\n

The massive increase in power consumption, unfortunately, yields only a modest performance improvement, with the RTX 5090 Ti\/ Blackwell Titan offering a mere 10% boost over the RTX 5090. Tom\u2019s source says the figure could reach 20% under ideal conditions. Either way, the GPU is presumably meant for hardcore enthusiasts who want to remain on the bleeding edge, and not for the average gamer. <\/p>\n

So far, there\u2019s no confirmation about how much VRAM the RTX 5090 Ti\/ Blackwell Titan will launch with. Anything over 32 GB is overkill for gaming, but many AI workloads could benefit from 48 GB, and Nvidia could very well position it as a gaming-AI hybrid pro-sumer offering. As far as its price is concerned, anything below $ 2,500-3,000 seems extremely implausible given current market conditions. <\/p>\n

That said, the existence of a prototype doesn\u2019t necessarily translate into a launch, as the last-gen Titan Ada prototype never saw a commercial launch. Tom opines that the RTX 5090 Ti\/ Blackwell Titan could be Nvidia\u2019s stopgap solution, sitting atop benchmark charts until the RTX 60 series surfaces in 2028.\u00a0<\/p>\n
