Alleged RTX 5090 spotted in a leaked testing video

The Nvidia GeForce RTX 50-series graphics cards are expected to be launched next year. The RTX 5090, which will be a high-end desktop graphics card, has now been allegedly exposed in a factory during the initial testing. 

The video has been leaked from a recently established factory in Indonesia. For those unaware, the U.S. chip export control prohibits the export of high-performance graphics cards to mainland China - particularly those with capabilities matching or exceeding the RTX 4090. Hence, manufacturers have set up factories in Indonesia to ensure the RTX 5090's availability in the Chinese market.

The leaked video was posted on BiliBili, a China-based video-sharing platform. The description of the video clearly states that the graphics card shown is the RTX 5090. It shows the first card that left the assembly line is being tested to make sure there are no issues. The video also shows the workers celebrating the successful boot of the RTX 5090.

According to VideoCardz, the graphics card shown in the video is from Zotac. Additionally, it is evident that the graphics card is being powered by only one cable eradicating previous rumors of dual 16-pin cables needed to power up the graphics card.

Previous rumors have suggested that the RTX 5090 will feature 32 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 512-bit bus. The card is rumored to make a debut at CES 2025, set in January.
