RTX 5090 Review Thread

Just watched the gamers nexus review first. As they always get my first view. Later on I will check out the other channels. This thing is a monster for sure. 20-50% uplift in rasterization is really what we want for the most part as far as generational uplift. The annoying thing is the pricing. I have 0 plans on buying this as I have a 4090 and I am playing at 1440p. Which is overkill in most cases.
Haven't checked out any of the new technology stuff out but I barely ever touch DLSS 3/Frame gen currently. The times I turned it on it creating that annoying haloing effect and even made it so like some things like words on screens would move weirdly. Nice technology but the downsides can be really annoying. MFG I imagine is just more of this or worsening of these things but not doing a deep dive into it since I dont really care since I am happy with by base perf anyways.

TLDR; awesome performance, lame price, not buying one but always cool to see performance uplift

What did they summise?

If you are using an AMD or RTX 3000 and below cards. It is a great upgrade if you can find a 5090 FE.

If you are using a GPU in your home theater-level PC setup. And that PC—where you’ve probably already invested around $10,000 in your monitor and sound system—5090 is perfect.

what is this 99th shit? yeah some games stutter, who cares.
Just give avg fps. I feel like after raise of gamer nexus, pc benchmark channels try to overanalyze every graph possible

Was hoping for at least 100% performance increase over RTX 4080 Super.

If it's only 72%, that tells you the gap between the RTX 5080 and RTX 5090 is going to be even less. Could be a good or bad thing depending on how you look at it (good if you wanted to buy the RTX 5080, bad if you were expecting more from the RTX 5090)

4NP which is an iteration of 4N.

4N was based on TSMC 5nm with customisation for Nvidia.

4NP - No-one really knows what the Improvements, if any, are.

The only improvements to N4P over N4 seems to be fewer masks and time to manufacture.
So it's basically a cheaper version of N4.

Even though I didn't know it at the time, my retail price 4090 might go down as one of my best PC hardware purchases ever.

Sticking with the 4090 then. As tempted as I am to build, the fact that 285k wasn’t as significant in performance increase wouldn't justify this for me either overall. Anyone that owns anything older than a 4000 series might be justified in taking the leap a bit later on.

That said, if you’re buying Nvidia cards complaining about value proposition when all you do is game, sounds like a skill issue/you problem.
