A workstation PC integrator named Comino is catching eyes by offering systems built around NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 5090 GPU even before its official release—a move that’s certainly turning heads.
Comino’s High-End Workstation Spotlights NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 5090
The buzz around NVIDIA’s upcoming RTX 50 "Blackwell" gaming GPUs is palpable, and for good reason. They’re expected to deliver hefty performance boosts, thanks to noteworthy architectural enhancements. While the official release is set for some time in 2025, Comino is ahead of the curve with its “Grando Server.” This powerhouse features eight GeForce RTX 5090 GPUs, marking the retail arrival of NVIDIA’s next-gen flagship GPU well before anyone anticipated.
To secure your pre-order, Comino has put up a form for interested buyers. However, details about the system remain scarce, beyond the inclusion of the eight RTX 5090 cards. With the GPUs expected around Q1 2025, it’s wise to approach such pre-orders with caution. Eagerness to jump onto new tech too soon might verge on the inadvisable.
It’s worth pondering whether Comino’s pre-orders are a gauge for potential demand for these servers. Being an "official" partner of NVIDIA could mean they receive special considerations or advance access, although it’s still better to wait for the official launch to get concrete specifications of the GPU.
The RTX 5090 is rumored to be a monster of a GPU, boasting some jaw-dropping specs. Imagine 32 GB of GDDR7 VRAM on a 512-bit interface, humming along at speeds up to 28 Gbps—this translates to a whopping 1792 GB/s of bandwidth, hinting at staggering performance capabilities. Other whispered details include a thermal design power (TDP) of up to 600W and 12V-2×6 power connectors. For those keen on even more, check out our detailed roundup on the GeForce RTX 5090 here.
With Comino moving on these pre-orders, it wouldn’t be surprising to see other hardware makers stepping up soon, suggesting the official release might be nearer than we think.
