How we compiled this
Specs were sourced from: (1) Wikipedia 'GeForce RTX 50 series' article for all NVIDIA desktop RTX 50 cards — GPU die names, CUDA core counts, VRAM, boost clocks, TDP, PCIe interface, release dates, and US launch MSRPs; (2) NVIDIA GeForce compare page (nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/graphics-cards/compare) which corroborated the NVIDIA specs; (3) Wikipedia 'Radeon RX 9000 series' article for AMD GPU die, compute units, stream processor counts, VRAM, boost clocks, TDP, PCIe, release dates, US MSRPs; (4) Wikipedia 'Intel Arc' article for Arc B580 and B570 die name (BMG-G21), Xe-core counts, total shader counts (Xe-cores × 128), VRAM, boost clocks, TDP, PCIe, release dates, US MSRPs. The NVIDIA RTX 5090 product page (nvidia.com) confirmed 2-slot form factor for the Founders Edition. All other slot widths are null because AMD and Intel do not release reference-design cards with a single canonical slot count — AIB partner cards vary. Numbers are stored unit-free; units implied by key name (vram_gb = GB, boost_clock_mhz = MHz, tdp_w = watts). cuda_or_stream_cores = CUDA core count for NVIDIA, shader/stream-processor count for AMD, total unified shader count for Intel (Xe-cores × 128). pcie field encodes 'generation x lanes' as a string. priceUsd is the US launch MSRP for the base/reference config described in priceNote. Where a product ships in two VRAM configs (RTX 5060 Ti 8GB/16GB, RX 9060 XT 8GB/16GB), the lower-VRAM variant specs and price are listed; higher-VRAM note is in priceNote. accessedAt is 2026-06-15 on every source.
