While Nvidia's GeForce RTX 5090 Founders Edition graphics card features the world's highest-performing consumer GPU released to date, it is also one of the most power-hungry GPUs ever made. As a result, Nvidia needed a completely new printed circuit board, so it developed a three-piece design that looks like nothing we have seen before. The main PCB carries the GB202 chip, memory, and a monstrous 30-phase voltage regulating module (VRM).
Nvidia says that the GeForce RTX 5090 Founders Edition, which promises to be the best graphics card, uses a 'unique three-piece PCB' design. At its CES 2025 presentation, the company only demonstrated the 'high-density' PCB carrying the massive 92 billion-transistor GB202 graphics processing unit, accompanied by 32 GB of GDDR7 memory connected using a 512-bit interface to the GPU.
