Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 Review
Nvidia's GeForce RTX 5090 is here, bringing next-gen power with a $2,000 price tag. Featuring a 23% larger die, 33% more cores, and blazing-fast GDDR7 memory, it's built to dominate – but is it worth it?
RTX 5090 early benchmarks show underwhelming performance uplift over the RTX 4090
Coming to a store near you later this month
Something to look forward to: Nvidia announced next-gen RTX 50 series graphics cards earlier this month at CES 2025. While gamers are still waiting for the official launch, early benchmarks appear to suggest that the RTX 5090 will see only a moderate performance boost over its predecessor, the RTX 4090. For a full understanding of how the RTX 5090 performs in popular games, wait for our exhaustive review later this week.
