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)

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.
First you show me that same black myth benchmark on…whatever the hell you’re running. Then we can talk.

Definitely ain't worth the $2500 - $2900 that 99.9% of the actually available AIB models will cost. I'm not even sure the FE is worth it for the 3 people in the world who draw the mega millions F5 lottery pull.

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 complaining about the value proposition of Nvidia cards when all you do is game, sounds like a skill issue/you problem.

Yep was right to stick with the 4090 for now. Spending another 2 grand for ~25%-35% improvement is a hard sale for me. No doubt the 6090 will be even more expensive...but at least then it might make more sense.

Those still on the 3090/ti, I think it's worth it honestly. But I would still wait to see the 5080 reviews first.

Huge jump from 3090 to 4090 seems like it was from the switch from Samsung's 8nm to whatever they used in 4090.

We likely will never see jumps like this ever again. We'll get power jumps commensurate with power usage until they cant draw any more power from a plug.

Didn’t they stop 4090 production? So very unlikely to be able to buy one unless used or from scalper’s warehouse, maybe. Right?
Yes.

Back when the 4xxx came out there was an oversupply of 3xxx and it kind of burned Nvidia. They weren't going to make that same mistake twice. Especially since the 5xxx is not as compelling an upgrade as the 4xxx was.

Where does it say Nvidia are using 4NP?


Blackwell-architecture GPUs are manufactured using a custom-built 4NP TSMC process

I'm pretty set for mine next Thursday. Got a good amount for my 4090.

I'm going to probably net pay 5-700 after selling mine and getting one of the 2200 models.

It's not for everyone but it is for me.

People aren't wrong when it comes to wanting more perf considering the bump.

But this is the .010% card. We who can get one enjoy it.
