Today, Nvidia lifted the embargo on benchmarking its new flagship graphics card and in this Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 review you can see just how fast it is in the games below. You can locate effects on frame rates in a variety of games to see how fast they are compared to other models you own or consider, such as the RTX 4090 or Radeon RX 7900XTX. The questions we all need to know are, of course, how much faster it is than models with and without new frame magnification features like Multi Frame Generation and DLSS 4.
To answer those questions, both older and more current games are in the benchmarks below, with other review website undoubtedly covering even more titles. Ultimately, the RTX 5090 like its predecessor was never about selling to the masses. Its $2000 price tag is evidence enough of that. But, the RTX 4090 still boasts above 1% market share of graphics cards listed in the Steam Hardware Survey so there are plenty being sold, even at these prices.
The RTX five090 consumed up to 562W according to Nvidia Frame View, but overall it was between 450 and 500W in gaming, with the peak at Alan Wake 2. The RTX 4090 seemed to consume particularly less, typically between 350 and 450W. . However, the Founders Edition cooler turns out to do a wonderful job, keeping the temperature below 6 and five °C in games. While the compact and capable cooler possibly means that your case and cooling will be enough to keep the RTX five090 Founders Edition going, you’ll definitely want at least a 600W power supply for the graphics card if you have a 16-pin, 12-VPWR PCIe Five cable. Many power materials under 1000W do. It doesn’t have this feature, so check the specs.
The test formula included a liquid-cooled AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D processor with Alphacool cooling hardware, 32GB of DDR5 6000 memory, and a 1200W Thermaltake Toughforce GF3 power supply. The lacheck edition of Windows 11 used in January 2025, along with lacheck drivers for other graphics cards. Only the 4K solution has been verified here and only with RTX 4090 and Radeon RX 7900 XTX for now, but more effects and cards will be added in my next RTX 5080 review.
It is transparent that even if the RTX 5090 is rarely very rarely on average faster than RTX 4090, in easier games and by activating many eye sweets, the effects may be higher. The greatest increases were almost with almost with almost the average box speed with 1% low in less impulse.
Most likely, there are a lot of additional reviews and tests in the coming weeks thanks to the functions promoted by the artificial intelligence of Nvidia, such as DLSS Four and Multi-Frame Generation. Then I performed tests in two games, with and without lightning and in various degrees of generation of multiple frames using the RTX 5090. Like those that used private versions of those games, I have not included other graphics cards yet, but once I will make direct comparisons. It can be done. However, it is clear to see the benefits of those technologies that use the RTX 5090 below.
The average frame rate is the one that benefits, expanding 3 or 4 times compared to no frame generation and the benefits are pretty much the same whether you allow ray tracing or not. In Cyberpunk 2077, the frame rate is 1%.
It’s pretty evident that a small portion of you reading this review will even consider purchasing the RTX 5090 given its $2,000 value tag and that value may be even higher as internet sites start promoting today. HUI will list various models with larger and more elaborate refrigerators. Still, this perhaps provides a glimpse of what we can expect with other models, which, if the limited comparisons here are to be believed, are decent innovations in the past generation, but value an upgrade on an RTX 4090 only in express games and to make sure I would feature checking other reviews like TechPowerUp.
NVIDIA RTX 5090 Founders Edition
In other places, RTX Four090 owners will not see great advantages, but there is no doubt that RTX 5090 offers much more functionality and, in the case of the Founders Edition model, it also occupies much less space. If you have already used DLSS and the generation of symbols, it will probably obtain many more advantages, because the frequencies of average symbols can jump in the rate of obtaining of DLSS four titles and the generation of multiple images. This could be a personal decision, but the functions are equally useful tools to increase the frequencies of symbols with little or no loss of symbols quality or feeling. In fact, this is my point of view about them.
In the end, if you need to have the fastest PC, this is the graphics card for you, but if your budget is much lower, do not forget that the RTX 5080 is launched at the end of the month with a price of $ 1000 and AMD will also lose new Graphics cards in the next two months. At the moment and probably for the next 24 months, it is most likely that RTX 5090 Reine.
