While the RTX 5090D still commands a premium price, eager gamers are undoubtedly counting down the days for its release. Why not satisfy your curiosity early by exploring the specs of various custom RTX 5090D models?
Star has handpicked fifteen standout RTX 5090D variants from top manufacturers, comparing both flagship and mid-range models to reveal their unique engineering differences.
The Night God emerges as the undisputed T0 champion among custom cards, dominating both clock speeds and power delivery. Not far behind, the Super Eagle impresses with blazing frequencies, though it retains 6mm cooling pipes. Most other models hover between 2400MHz-2500MHz boost clocks, all featuring robust 50A power phases.
The real dark horse? The Gaming Judge, armed with seven 8mm and two massive 10mm heat pipes for unbeatable thermal performance. Proof that true power often comes in unexpected packages.
Star recommends selecting based on both budget and visual preference, as pricing varies dramatically across models. Be warned – premium options like the Night God and Super Dragon currently carry eye-watering price tags.
So, which custom card has captured your imagination?
