Aside from Cyberpunk 2077 and Alan Wake 2, which games are likely to make you feel like you got your money's worth versus buying a 4070 or 4070 ti?

 

[Three]

FS2024 is a good candidate but there aren't many 2025 games that makes it worth buying a 5090 to be honest.

 

[Hawking Radiation]

There's nothing on the horizon that requires the firepower of this card. It's overkill even for the most demanding stuff out currently or anything that will be releasing this year.

 

[SHA]

I judge a 2025 graphic card from a 2026 game just like how I judged the gtx 680 from Bioshock Infinite. I don't trust existing games to build a Rig.

 

[TintoConCasera]

The new DOOM looks amazing, but it runs on id Tech so I bet it will be optimized like a dream, so no need for a 5xxx for that one imo.

So yeah, for me personally I can't think of any. But, if you want to play at 4K/60fps with RTX set to the highest and at very high framerates, then I bet there are many games that will make good use of it.

 

[LectureMaster]

Crimson Desert will be a looker.

Aside from Cyberpunk 2077 and Alan Wake 2, which games are likely to make you feel like you got your money's worth versus buying a 4070 or 4070 ti?

Any game I play on it will make it worth it

We gotta wait for independend reviews, bro, card could be 12% faster from 4090 in pure raster or 35% faster, in first case totally not worth it, in 2nd case 100% worth it coz it means u will get performance above ps6 not in holidays 2028 but early 2025 xD

 

[wafflecioccy]

The RTX 5090 is not really a gaming card, it's for AI and 3d/vfx artists

Or for games like Crysis 4. Or any future game that goes crazy with GPU accelerated physics and tons of AI etc.

 

[J3nga]

Same games that were/are worth buying for any other gpu. It won't revolutionize how games will be played.

 

[Sanepar]

Only games would be gta vi and witcher4, but these games will be ready by series 6000.

Anything else 4080 or 4090 will run smooth.

 

[nikos]

Assetto Corsa EVO

Sim racers in general will benefit from the additional power considering most are playing at a high resolution via super ultrawide or triple monitors.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

 

[PeteBull]

FF7 rebirth for sure, KCD2 too, many more current ones are very demanding if u wanna play native 4k max settings including best rt.
Even for most demanding customers 5090 will last at least 3years so likely till 60xx series launch on 3nm, by then we will have plenty more demanding games.

Q3A

 

[Moochi]

Planning getting a whole new system, upgrading from a 3090 and a weak cpu. I've set up a newegg and nvidia email alert, but help me bros, what are my best options to get a launch card? You think founder's editions will sell out on day 1?

 

[amigastar]

Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra (provided it releases in 2025)
DOOM: The Dark Ages

 

[Magic Carpet]

Will be nice to launch any ole game on the RTX 5090 and just crank up the settings for the next several years or possible the next decade. Assuming the chip doesn't pull some weird Intel 13/14 Gen self-destruct thing.

 

[Mister Wolf]

I think this might be heavy when maxed out. Especially if you're trying to go native 4K.

Its obvious but whales gonna whale

 

[Crayon]

That's up to you, bud.

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

PS3/360 Era games are sweet on those cards.

 

[daninthemix]

I think Wukong was the first game I felt I was compromising on the 4090. Had to lower RT settings or internal res.

 

[Cakeboxer]

I don't think a 5090 is worth it unless you have so much money, you don't care about 2k.

 

[FalconPunch]

There's not one game in 2025 that it makes sense for. The smart play would be to wait for the 6000 series. The rest of the 5000 series other than the 5090 are looking real suspect when compared to the 4000 series super variants. Real real suspect.

I don't even think the 5070 will beat the 4070 super in anything other than mfg. Based on the specs of the 5070, it should be slower than the 4070 super which is why it's cheaper. 5080 looks like a maybe 10% raster increase over the 4080 super but even that is a stretch based on specs. The 5070 ti compared to the 4070 ti super is looking like a marginal upgrade as well.

Not a remotely impressive showing by nvidia. It's looking like Intel levels of incompetence.

 

[FunkMiller]

I very much doubt anything is going to come out that requires it, unless you're desperate for the absolute maximum in frames per second, resolution and fidelity.

Frankly, if I can run games at max settings at 60 fps, I'm happy. I have a laptop 4090 with a 7945HX, so I very much doubt I'd need a 5000 series card at any point in the next two years.

Games have completely lost their drive to push the cutting edge of technology, because they have to come out on every fucking thing now, so what's the actual point in owning the latest hardware?

 

[DenchDeckard]

It will be for every single game.

 

[Jesb]

Give that money to someone who needs it instead. Complete waste to buy one now.

 

[HerjansEagleFeeder]

How the hell are we supposed to answer that question for you?

 

[Hudo]

None. I think that, much like the 4090, it's Nvidia's entry-level deep learning card. The 4090 was/is pretty popular for that use case in my research department.

 

[Gameplay Gods Bless]

Aside from Cyberpunk 2077 and Alan Wake 2, which games are likely to make you feel like you got your money's worth versus buying a 4070 or 4070 ti?

Every game that goes up in frame rate from the upgrade. So pretty much every PC game.

Played that bad boy on a 7870. Ran great and looked amazing compared to the console version.

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

skyblivion - a lot of mods will "work" with it

 

[The Cockatrice]

New games probably KCD2. Old games run fine on older hardware or are unoptimized as fuck so they'll prolly run just as bad on new gpus.

 

[Topher]

Worth $2000?

 

[Gameplay Gods Bless]

The RTX 5090 is not really a gaming card, it's for AI and 3d/vfx artists

Or for games like Crysis 4. Or any future game that goes crazy with GPU accelerated physics and tons of AI etc.

GeForce cards are gaming cards first and foremost. Workstation RTX X000 cards (like the RTX 2000 and RTX 6000 Ada) and L series cards (like the L40S) are more for AI than a GeForce RTX 5090, its just the 5090 is the best GeForce card for those things.

 

[Gameplay Gods Bless]

I don't think a 5090 is worth it unless you have so much money, you don't care about 2k.

What would you do with $2000?

 

[Cakeboxer]

What would you do with $2000?

It depends on how much money you have. If you have to save weeks or months to afford a 5090, don't buy it and save the money for important stuff.

 

[bad guy]

Get an 8K monitor, needs 4x more performance than 4K.

 

[balls of snow]

I mean people didnt know Indy was gonna push hardware so hard until close to release.

 

[ArtHands]

There's nothing on the horizon that requires the firepower of this card. It's overkill even for the most demanding stuff out currently or anything that will be releasing this year.

Yah it is more for future proofing with unannounced high end 2028 games.

RTX5080 is more than enough for every current and upcoming games.

 

[MMaRsu]

Hitman Blood Money

 

[Lorianus]

None, as long as games get developed for current gen consoles a 30/40 series card will suffice until we know the PS6 specs.
