AFAIK, the 2-slot 5090 is just one of many nvidia tests with before they decide on a final design.

Looking at the power figures, it's probably going to use the same 3-slot we see with the 4090. The heatsink on the 40 series was overkill and has headroom to spare.

I doubt these are "official" figures as they probably figure in a "worst case" situation of factory and manual overclocking and then some buffer.

Really the only recommendations should be, for a quality make like Seasonic (or Enermax or Superflower):

750w for anything RTX xx80 and below
1000w for RTX xx90
1500w for multiple RTX xx90 GPUs (Prosumer/Professional HEDT system)

The price difference (currently on Newegg) from a Seasonic Focus 80+ Gold 550w to an ATX 3.0 (ATX 12VHP) 750w is $27, and from there to a 1000w is $15, so the price difference is minimal. A PSU is something that's going to last you for a decade or longer if you get them from a quality maker, and they're a pain in the butt to change if you route your cables.

If the new 5050 is the 4060 equivalent then nvidia has improved power consumption, as has been rumored.

5060 and 5070 both seem to be different evolutions of the 4070.

The 5080 and 5090 have higher power consumption so i'm guessing they're higher performing. The performance might be much higher, again as rumored.

nvidia has come up with a better spread this time. 5 GPUs to choose from, before Supers or Tis.
 
If you want a nvidia graphics... catch them now... don't wait to see the prices updates...
the 5060 maybe will be the 4070 super with same price or higher
the 5050 will be a 4060 with a 4060ti price tag
 
I know I have a few 4080 Supers in my watch lists for Prime Day next week. It's measurably faster than the 4070 Ti for basically the same power envelope, and blows the pants off my 2070 Super...I'm thinking $800 or less will make me pull the trigger.

That's really not good advice. Why would you suggest anyone invest money in an outgoing GPU when the next gen is this close to release?

We don't know what the prices will be. The 40XX series launched with lower prices and if the 50XX repeats it, your advice is doubly bad.

With the prices of 7900GREs right now, i would say that's the one to grab if you must have a GPU right now. On nvidia's side, the only good value is 4060 but that's not a very strong performer.
It's fine for a lot of games, but also hopeless for a lot of demanding games, or modded games.

Buying a 4070 Ti Super today would be a self-inflicted wound financially but it would perform well for a number of years.
I'd bet good money the 5070 or 5060 would be better value.
I'd also bet the 5050 will not cost more than $300

But we just don't know yet.
