NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 (Founders Edition)

Cat. no. gpu-rtx-5090

Curator note

The biggest and fastest consumer card: 32 GB holds a quantised 32B-class model with long context on one card, and its memory bandwidth ties for the top of this list. It is very expensive, and 575 W through one 16-pin cable leaves little margin: seat the connector fully and power-limit it in multi-GPU builds. The Founders Edition is two slots wide, though NVIDIA asks for three-slot clearance, and its flow-through cooler dumps heat into the case, so stacked cards need strong airflow.
