Sizing

Will my model fit
on 32 GB?

Rules of thumb for weights plus a modest KV cache or optimizer state. Longer contexts and bigger batches need more.

Architecture

Blackwell for the consumer frontier.

The RTX 5090 brings the GB202 Blackwell die, 92 billion transistors on TSMC's 4NP node, to a PCIe form factor, with 5th-gen Tensor Cores, native FP4, and GDDR7 memory.

5th-gen Tensor Cores + FP4

Native FP4 precision delivers 3,352 AI TOPS: 2× the AI throughput of RTX 4090.

32 GB GDDR7 at 1.79 TB/s

78% more bandwidth than RTX 4090. 32 GB fits 13B models at FP16 and 32B at Q4.

PCIe Gen5 form factor

Drops into any PCIe Gen5 system, no SXM motherboard required.

DLSS 4 + Multi Frame Generation

4th-gen RT Cores and hardware AV1 encode make the RTX 5090 the best consumer GPU for AI video.

Use cases

What the RTX 5090 is built for.

Sub-30B LLM inference

1.79 TB/s bandwidth makes the 5090 the fastest consumer GPU for token generation on 7B–13B models.

  • 13B at FP16 natively
  • 32B at Q4 on one card
  • ~1.8× faster than RTX 4090

Fine-tuning & LoRA

32 GB gives headroom for LoRA and QLoRA fine-tuning of 13B models without sharding.

  • LoRA / QLoRA native
  • Blackwell FP8 Tensor Cores
  • Hourly billing, no waste

AI image & video generation

DLSS 4, hardware AV1 encode, and 32 GB VRAM make this the best consumer GPU for FLUX and SDXL.

  • FLUX / SDXL natively
  • AV1 hardware encode
  • DLSS 4 Multi Frame Gen

FAQ

NVIDIA RTX 5090, answered.

What is the NVIDIA RTX 5090?

The RTX 5090 is NVIDIA's flagship Blackwell consumer GPU, 32 GB GDDR7 at 1.79 TB/s, 3,352 AI TOPS, 5th-gen Tensor Cores with FP4. The most powerful consumer GPU ever built.

When will RTX 5090 be available on packet.ai?

Coming soon. Join the waitlist to be notified the moment capacity opens on packet.ai.

How much does RTX 5090 cost?

From $0.59/GPU-hour. Pricing to be confirmed at launch. See pricing →

What models fit in RTX 5090?

13B at FP16 natively; 32B at Q4 on a single card. For 70B+, use H100 or H200.

How does RTX 5090 compare to H100?

H100 has more memory (80 GB vs 32 GB), ECC, NVLink, and 24/7 datacenter reliability. RTX 5090 wins on cost-per-token for sub-30B inference.

Does RTX 5090 support NVLink?

No. PCIe Gen5 only. For NVLink multi-GPU, use H100 SXM or B200.
