Overview

  • The RTX 5090 introduces Nvidia's Blackwell architecture, featuring 21,760 CUDA cores, 32GB of GDDR7 memory, and a 512-bit memory bus for unprecedented performance.
  • DLSS 4 Multi Frame Generation, exclusive to the RTX 50 series, enables up to 4X AI-generated frames, delivering smoother gameplay but raising concerns about input latency.
  • While offering a 30% performance improvement over the RTX 4090 in many 4K gaming scenarios, the generational leap is less dramatic compared to previous upgrades.
  • The GPU's power requirements are significant, with a 575W TGP and a recommended 1,000W PSU, making it less practical for many setups.
  • Despite its unmatched speed and advanced features, the RTX 5090's $1,999 price tag and limited availability may make it more appealing to enthusiasts and professionals than average gamers.
