The RTX 5090 uses Nvidia's biggest die since the RTX 2080 Ti (www.techspot.com)

Highly anticipated: As the unveiling of consumer Blackwells draws near, clear images of Nvidia's next-generation graphics cards are beginning to materialize. The new lineup's flagship product will undoubtedly set new performance benchmarks, but the latest information suggests that it will also use one of the biggest chips in Nvidia's history.

Trusted leaker "MEGAsizeGPU" recently claimed that Nvidia's upcoming GB202 graphics processor, which will power the GeForce RTX 5090, uses a 24mm x 31mm die. If the report is accurate, it might support earlier rumors claiming the graphics card will retail for nearly $2,000.

A 744mm² die would make the GB202 22 percent larger than the RTX 4090's 619mm² AD102 GPU. It would also be the company's largest die since the TU102, which measured 754mm² and served as the core of the RTX 2080 Ti, released in 2018.

I think Nvidia is poisoning the well with the $2000 rumours so that they're the heroes when it releases at ~$1750

Not an uncommon strategy, I can see this happening for sure
