Speeds are estimates for a single request — one conversation at a time — calculated from memory bandwidth, model size and quantisation. Real throughput varies with the inference runtime and its version. Figures published by hardware vendors measure many simultaneous requests and are much higher.

What the numbers mean
Capacity and bandwidth
Memory
32 GB
Bandwidth
1,790 GB/s
Largest model
Phi-3.5-MoE
The GeForce RTX 5090 D carries 32 GB of GDDR7, which covers the mid-sized models most people actually run — about 28.8 GB of it after the runtime and driver reserve their working space.
Bandwidth is 1,790 GB/s across a 512-bit bus. Generating a token means reading every weight once, so that figure sets the pace more than any other number here, and at this level text arrives faster than most people read.
The figure is the memory clock — 1.75 GHz here — multiplied by the bus width. It is why core counts predict generation speed so poorly.
The practical ceiling is Phi-3.5-MoE at 60.8B, held at Q3_K_M and running at roughly 187 tokens per second.
The chip and how it was built
The GeForce RTX 5090 D is built on the GB202 graphics processor, using NVIDIA's Blackwell 2.0 architecture, as part of the GeForce 50 generation.
The chip is manufactured by TSMC, on a 5 nm process, with a die measuring 750 mm², holding 92.2 billion transistors. A smaller process generally means more performance for the same power, though for language models it matters far less than the memory subsystem.
It was released in January 2025, roughly 1 years ago. Inference software support tends to follow hardware by a year or two, so a card of this age generally has mature, well-optimised code paths available to it.
Compute throughput, and why it matters less than it looks
FP16
104.8 TFLOPS
FP64
1.6 TFLOPS
Tensor cores
680
On paper the GeForce RTX 5090 D reaches 104.8 TFLOPS at half precision and 104.8 TFLOPS at single precision. These are peak figures no real workload sustains, and generating text reaches only a small fraction of them — decoding is limited by memory rather than arithmetic, which is why a card can look enormously powerful here and still produce tokens at an ordinary rate.
Double-precision throughput is 1.6 TFLOPS. It has no bearing on running a language model — no inference runtime uses it — but it separates datacentre parts from consumer ones, since the latter deliberately restrict it.
The card carries 680 tensor cores across 170 streaming multiprocessors. These accelerate the matrix arithmetic at the heart of a transformer, and they are what make prompt processing — reading a long document before answering — dramatically faster than it would otherwise be.
Clocks run from 2.02 GHz at base to 2.41 GHz boosted. Worth far less here than on a gaming benchmark: raising the clock speeds up the arithmetic, and the arithmetic is not what generation is waiting on.
Cache and processing units
The GeForce RTX 5090 D has 128 KB of L1 cache, backed by 96 MB of L2. Cache absorbs a share of the memory traffic that would otherwise hit the main bus, which is the one place on this page where a number other than bandwidth quietly affects generation speed — a large L2 lets more of the working set stay close to the cores.
There are 21,760 shading units, 680 texture mapping units, and 176 render output units. These drive graphics workloads and contribute to prompt processing, but they sit idle for much of the time a model spends generating a reply.
Power, size and installation
Power draw
575 W
The GeForce RTX 5090 D is rated at 575 W, with a 950 W power supply suggested for the whole system. Running a language model keeps a card busy in bursts rather than continuously — it draws hard while generating and idles between requests — so sustained draw over a working day is usually well below the rated figure.
The board occupies a dual-slot, measuring 304 mm long, and needs 1x 16-pin. Worth checking against the case and power supply already in the machine, since the largest cards need considerably more of both than a typical desktop provides.
It connects over PCIe 5.0 x16. The interface governs how quickly a model is loaded from disk into the card, not how fast it runs once there, so a narrower link costs a few seconds at startup and nothing thereafter.

Step by step
How to work out the tokens per second of a GeForce RTX 5090 D
You do not have to calculate anything by hand — the gputps.com calculator on this page has already worked it out for every model this card can hold. Reading off the answer takes six steps.
-
01
Start with the model, not the specification
The table lists 513 models this GeForce RTX 5090 D can run. Search by name, or by size — typing 27b matches on the parameter count even when the name never states it.
-
02
Match the context to your work
Set the context to your real working length. Short questions cost almost nothing; a long document can consume a large share of the card's 32 GB.
-
03
Set a minimum quality if you need one
By default the table picks the least-compressed copy that fits. Setting a floor removes models that only qualify through heavy compression.
-
04
Take the range as the answer
Speeds come with error bars for a reason. The best case here is 758 tok/s on Gemma 3 QAT 1B, and which inference software you use moves that by thirty to fifty per cent.
-
05
Read the fit verdict last
Compare what each model needs with the 32 GB this card provides. Tight means it works today; comfortable means it still works when the conversation grows.

06
Check the same model from the other side
Following a model through to its own page lists all the hardware that can run it, so you can see where the GeForce RTX 5090 D sits against the alternatives.
Answers
GeForce RTX 5090 D — common questions
Can a GeForce RTX 5090 D run a 13B model?
Yes. For example a GeForce RTX 5090 D runs DeepSeekMoE-16B at Q8_0, using about 17.5 GB of memory and generating around 263 tokens per second.
Can a GeForce RTX 5090 D run a 30B model?
Yes. For example a GeForce RTX 5090 D runs ERNIE-4.5-VL-28B-A3B at Q6_K, using about 22.7 GB of memory and generating around 219 tokens per second.
How much memory does a GeForce RTX 5090 D have?
A GeForce RTX 5090 D has 32 GB of GDDR7 memory. Around a tenth of that is reserved by the inference runtime and the driver, leaving roughly 28.8 GB available for a model and its conversation.
What is the memory bandwidth of a GeForce RTX 5090 D?
The GeForce RTX 5090 D has 1,790 GB/s of memory bandwidth, across a 512-bit memory bus. This is the single best predictor of how fast it generates text, because producing each token means reading the entire model out of memory once.
What type of memory does a GeForce RTX 5090 D use?
It uses GDDR7 clocked at 1.75 GHz. HBM types are found on datacentre accelerators and carry far more bandwidth than the GDDR used on desktop cards, which is why they generate tokens considerably faster at the same capacity.
Who makes the GeForce RTX 5090 D?
The GeForce RTX 5090 D is a NVIDIA product, with the chip manufactured by TSMC, on a 5 nm process.
When was the GeForce RTX 5090 D released?
The GeForce RTX 5090 D was released in January 2025.
How much power does a GeForce RTX 5090 D use?
The GeForce RTX 5090 D has a rated board power of 575 W, and a 950 W system power supply is suggested. Generating text draws hard in bursts and idles between requests, so average consumption over a working session is normally well below the rated figure.
How much cache does a GeForce RTX 5090 D have?
The GeForce RTX 5090 D has 128 KB of L1 cache, and 96 MB of L2 cache. Cache absorbs part of the memory traffic that would otherwise reach the main bus, so a larger L2 gives a modest lift to generation speed beyond what bandwidth alone predicts.
What are the TFLOPS of a GeForce RTX 5090 D?
The GeForce RTX 5090 D is rated at 104.8 TFLOPS at half precision and 104.8 TFLOPS at single precision. These are peak arithmetic ceilings rather than achievable rates, and text generation reaches only a small fraction of them because it is limited by memory bandwidth instead.
How many tensor cores does a GeForce RTX 5090 D have?
The GeForce RTX 5090 D has 680 tensor cores across 170 streaming multiprocessors. They accelerate the matrix arithmetic a transformer is built from, which mainly speeds up processing a long prompt rather than producing the reply.
Does the GeForce RTX 5090 D support CUDA?
Yes. The GeForce RTX 5090 D reports CUDA compute capability 12.0. Capability 7.0 and above has tensor cores, which modern inference software uses; below that it falls back to slower code paths for quantised models.
What bus interface does the GeForce RTX 5090 D use?
It uses PCIe 5.0 x16. This governs how fast a model is loaded onto the card rather than how fast it runs once loaded, so it costs a few seconds at startup and nothing during generation.
Is the GeForce RTX 5090 D good for running local AI models?
Its memory comfortably covers the mid-sized models most people run locally and its bandwidth is high enough to generate text faster than most people read. In total it runs 513 of the models we track. Whether that is enough depends entirely on which model you want — the table above answers that directly.
Can a GeForce RTX 5090 D run a model that does not fit in its memory?
Only partly. Layers beyond the 32 GB sit in system memory and run at a fraction of the speed, so a mostly-offloaded model is rarely worth using. Every figure here assumes it is fully resident on the card.
Would two GeForce RTX 5090 D cards be twice as fast?
No. A second GeForce RTX 5090 D doubles the memory to 64 GB, which lets you hold models neither could hold alone, but generation does not split that way. These figures describe one card.
What AI models can a GeForce RTX 5090 D run?
513 of the 679 open-weight language models we track fit on a GeForce RTX 5090 D and can be run locally on it. The table on this page lists every one, with the memory it needs, the quantisation it runs at and an estimated generation speed.
What is the largest AI model a GeForce RTX 5090 D can run?
The largest model in our catalogue that fits on a GeForce RTX 5090 D is Phi-3.5-MoE at 60.8B parameters, compressed to Q3_K_M. It generates roughly 187 tokens per second and needs about 27.2 GB of the card's memory.
How many tokens per second does a GeForce RTX 5090 D produce?
It depends on the model. On a GeForce RTX 5090 D the fastest model we track is Gemma 3 QAT 1B at about 758 tokens per second, while larger models run proportionally slower because each token requires reading the whole model out of memory once. Speeds are estimates for a single conversation at a time.
Can a GeForce RTX 5090 D run a 7B model?
Yes. For example a GeForce RTX 5090 D runs Multi-Token Prediction 7B at Q8_0, using about 7.9 GB of memory and generating around 113 tokens per second.
