NVIDIA showcased GeForce RTX 5090 / RTX 5080 / RTX 5070 Founders Edition graphics cards for three GPUs at CES 2025, including recent photos of the RTX 5090’s PCB.

As you saw earlier, the RTX 5090 Founder Edition is based on an 8-shaped aluminum frame similar to the RTX 30 and RTX 40 series. The GeForce RTX Logo light on the top section and the hyperbolic lighting on the back are still retained. The biggest change is that the cooling fans are placed on the front of the graphics card, and the airflow from the fans at both ends can pass through the graphics card.

NVIDIA has condensed the RTX 5090 GPU chip, 16 GDDR7 memory chips, a large number of power supply components, etc. onto a PCB about 13 centimeters square. It is difficult to fit so many components into such a small PCB. Even the 16-pin 12V-2×6 (12VHPWR) power terminals are connected to the PCB sideways to make more space.
However, it should be easy for everyone to find that there are no video output terminals such as DisplayPort and HDMI on this PCB, and even the PCIe pins are not visible. But how is this done?
It turns out that NVIDIA has two sets of cable contacts on the lower right side of the back of the PCB, one of which is connected to the PCB with PCIe pins, and the other is connected to the video output terminal on the front of the graphics card through a flexible cable.

Let’s look at the RTX 5080 Founder Edition. It looks the same as the RTX 5090 Founder Edition. The two are exactly the same size, 304mm long and 137mm high. They both have dual-slot thick radiators with two large fans.

The current entry-level RTX 5070 Founder Edition uses the same dual-fan airflow design. Since the power consumption of the entire card is 250W and the heat generated is limited, the size of the radiator has been reduced, to 112mm in size and 242mm in length.
