Raster:

​

In classic rasterization, the RTX 5090 is, on average, 28% faster than the RTX 4090 and 72% faster than the RTX 4080 SUPER.

RT:

This is where the RTX 5090 shines, at least in games with DLSS 4 support: performance is more than doubled compared to the 4090 where there is Multi Frame Generation, allowing you to play Cyberpunk 2077 in 4K at an average of 325 FPS, Star Wars Outlaws at over 220 FPS with path tracing, or Alan Wake 2 at an average of 180 FPS, again with path tracing enabled.

in titles with the old frame generation , however, the gap between RTX 5090 and RTX 4090 is much closer to what was recorded in rasterization: on average we detected a + 25%.

TECHPOWERUP:
Pros:

• ncredible performance
• DLSS 4 Frame Generation and Transformers Upscaling
• Compact dual-slot design
• 32 GB VRAM
• Highly energy-efficient
• Idle fan-stop
• Support for HDMI 2.1 & DisplayPort 2.1
• PCI-Express 5.0
• Good video encode/decode hardware acceleration support

Cons:

• Very expensive
• Very high idle/multi-monitor/video playback power consumption
• Fans are "not quiet" during gaming
• Memory overclocking artificially limited by the driver

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Founders Edition Review - The New Flagship

NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 5090 is the fastest graphics card ever released. It comes with a whopping 32 GB VRAM, and support for multi-frame generation, which achieves hundreds of FPS easily. We also managed to disassemble the card, and our review includes performance testing without upscaling or...

looks like going from a 4080 to 5090 will be a nice boost. i'm more concerned about being able to get one. i want the FE 5090.

 

[RoboFu]

All that's with frame gen turned on?

 

[Gubaldo]

All that's with frame gen turned on?

Nope those are raster without FG & upscaling

 

[Kilau]

Yes it’s meh, no need to buy that lame 5090, everyone stay away. You don’t need it or want it, it’s garbage.

 

[Schmendrick]

so <30% faster on average than its predecessor.

And that is with an updated architecture and node, and with 30% higher tdp and CU count.


In other words: Pretty much zero technological progress outside of AI functionality.

Better hope for TSMC to provide a very meaty node shrink for the 6xxx gen or else all we`ll get going forward is more fake frames........

 

[owandeseis]

More than the numbers, im curious about the opinions on the image quality with FG and MFG enabled, specially with the new DLSS 4 and Ray Reconstruction hmm

 

[SlimySnake]

25% for $2,000 lmao. And we were making fun of ps5 pro offering only 45% more performance for $700. God does exist and he’s a Sony fanboy out for revenge.

Looks like moore’s law is in full effect. It’s affecting everyone from Sony to amd and nvidia.

It also uses the N4 node. So even that is the same "old" tech.

 

[Schmendrick]

Looks like moore’s law is in full effect.

you mean the contrary

 

[CompleteGlobalSaturation]

25-30% more gains
30% more TDP
30% higher price.

Overall performance is good, but in line with what one would expect.

I'd love to see this in a card with 50% less TDP. I'm probably in the minority here but the less heat/electric waste, the better. Maybe once we get 2 nm process chips?

 

[DirtInUrEye]

25% for $2,000 lmao.

Nobody's getting one of these for £2,000.

 

[Gaiff]

Should be $1500. $2000 is a farce.

 

[Spukc]

Should be $1500. $2000 is a farce.

nah easy 6K to weed out the peasants
Like be honest here if your current pc setup is sub 5k are you even better then a mobile phone gamer?

You have 1:1 with price/performance increase. With Pro you are paying 75%/2x more (depending on place) for UP to 45% performance increase (average ~30%).

Pro is a shitty deal, 5090 is very mediocre deal.

 

[DirtInUrEye]

I'm occasionally quite silly with money and my missus wouldn't even moan at me if I wanted to get one, but I'm staying with my existing card and skipping the gen. The radical improvements to DLSS3 make this a non issue, so thanks for that Nvidia.

 

[Hudo]

Should be $1500. $2000 is a farce.

The 90 series cards should be $1100 at most. The 80 series cards should be $750 at most. The 70 series cards should be $550 at most and the 60 series cards should be $250 at most.

Please, not this shit again.

Please, not this shit again.

He bringed Pro here, not me lol.

ST and JSF will be here soon.

 

[Thief1987]

performance is more than doubled compared to the 4090 where there is Multi Frame Generation

"Performance". Is this a review or just some pr piece? What I'm expecting from the "journalists" though

 

[Fahdis]

NOT BUYING... kthx.

 

[DirtInUrEye]

"Performance". Is this a review or just some pr piece? What I'm expecting from the "journalists" though

The "perception of performance", then. You can sleep easy tonight again.

 

[Draugoth]

Really wanted to post this one but OP at least saved me from the trouble

About the card.. There's no way people wil be getting this at $2000 MSRP, there's multiple reports this will be extremely limited at launch, incluiding from a an acquitance of mine

 

[Krappadizzle]

If I could get a FE at MSRP, I might consider it, but by the time I've met my obligations and have some extra cash to spend, I'd bet by March/April timeframe, they'll almost certainly be sold out/gone and probably not worth the effort/stress of trying to hunt one down.

My 3080ti is still holding strong and is finally getting to stretch it's arms after getting a 9800x3d after being chained to the 9700k for so long. Maybe I'll try and get a 4090 someone is trying to offload for cheap.

Reviews just sold me to go for the 5090 instead of the 5080.

 

[rodrigolfp]

That 4080 super and 4080 being "twins". wtf!

 

[analog_future]

Going to do everything I can to get a 5090 FE at launch or one of the $2199 cards at launch. Won't pay more than that.


If I can't get one of those at launch, I'll keep at it until I do get one.

25% more average in raster for 25% price increase or $400 more. Don't forget the 2tb ssd of the pro.

 

[OverHeat]

lol he is saying they are going hard to come by…

 

[analog_future]

25% more average in raster for 25% price increase or $400 more. Nice...

Seems to me that the value of these cards really depends on how you feel about Frame Gen.

I love Frame Gen so I couldn't be happier at the prospect of games running at 2x the FPS of the 4090.

I know what he said, I’m coping.

[Rudius]

25-30% more gains
30% more TDP
30% higher price.

That's basically zero gen on gen improvement.

 

[Magic Carpet]

Sounds like making it a 2 slot only made it lounder. Now I know the reason the AIB's all have thick cards.

 

[analog_future]

Bruh, 20% over 4090

The opening of the Gamers Nexus video says 20-50% uplifts in raster, 27-35% uplifts in RT.


So about 30% gains on average before factoring in frame gen.

 

[Wolzard]

No drivers for Linux at the moment. It would be interesting to see if the gains were actually in AI.

I think we need a gen like this to reset the clock... normally we had one every other generation but since the RTX cards came out we have effectively never had one, and it shows.

RTX 2000, 3000, 4000 and now 5000 have all focussed on performance (AI in this gen) that has resulted in ever increasing power and heat margins.

 

[winjer]

This doesn't look like a new generation of GPUs.
This is more like a 4090 ti.

 

[twilo99]

That Power consumption

 

[Rush2112]

Where is the black myth benchmark? Let’s see it, NVIDIA fanboys. 4k, RT with no DLSS. let’s see what your precious 2K dollar card can do, bitches.

 

[SweetTooth]

Please, not this shit again.

He bringed Pro here, not me lol.

ST and JSF will be here soon.

Excuse me?! I will just quote myself from 2 months ago, and I won't swarm every 5090 threads like you did with Pro

45% performance uplift in $700 console : what a ripoff! Where is the stand!

45% performance uplift in $2000 GPU: Take my wallet!!

Lots of users will be exposed soon

Jesus I was generous with my expectation for 5090..lol

 

[analog_future]

This doesn't look like a new generation of GPUs.
This is more like a 4090 ti.

Hardware progress has reached it's limits IMO. When factoring in size, power draw, and heat constraints that need to be considered for home use, we aren't going to be able to push it much further than this. Expect more and more of a focus on software/AI improvements moving forward.

 

[diffusionx]

That's basically zero gen on gen improvement.

they can't really shrink these things like they used to, this is going to be how it is going forward.

I'm not even sure how feasible new GPUs are going to be. At some point it's like, you cant make PSUs that draw more power.
